Burt's Bees | Beauty and Fashion Tech

I prefer to focus on the positive here at Beauty and Fashion Tech, but Total Beauty does such a good job when they catalog the worst of any given type of product. So, here is their list of the worst shampoo. I haven’t tried many of the items on the list, but I did note that Burt’s Bees made the list twice and I have not really been a fan of their shampoos either. John Freida red was on the list but I like their blonde version. It was interesting to see something from Tigi. I haven’t tried that particular shampoo, but I love other Tigi products especially those of Tigi that are sulfate free. Alterna, another SLS free shampoo, also made the list–in part, it appears, because of their rather high price tag.

15 Worst Shampoos

You might be surprised by the brands that made our readers’ absolute worst list

This is a TotalBeauty.com hair care products article

When the shampoo we choose to use ends up dirtying our hair instead of cleaning it, and dries it out instead of infusing it with the moisture we need — that’s when it ends up on our worst shampoos list.

UPDATE: Congratulations to Nina on winning this contest. Nina, an email has been sent to you!

Here is your chance to win a great C&C California T-shirt, and you can even get three chances! Once here at Beauty and Fashion Tech, once at Girl Gloss, and yet another chance at the Vote for Natural site in the information below.

If you are not familiar with either Burt’s bees or C&C California, you should be.

Now, Burt’s Bees has teamed up with actress Julian Moore to give consumers the opportunity to cast their votes for natural personal care at Burt’s Bees’ Election Day in New York City and to win prizes such as a C&C California shirt. Here is the information that I was sent on the promotion:

Like many consumers, Burt’s Bees has always believed that natural ingredients are safer and more beneficial. The trouble is, it can take a lot of reading between the lines of labels to figure out what’s natural vs. synthetic. To help consumers find what they’re really looking for in a natural product, Burt’s Bees has worked closely with the Natural Products Association and other likeminded brands to develop a Natural Seal—a symbol that lets consumers know when products contain at least 95% natural ingredients. On Burt’s Bees’ Voting Day, a vote for natural is also a vote for the Natural Seal, helping make natural a clear choice after all.

To ensure that the best candidate comes out on top, “green” actress Julianne Moore will be on hand to cast the first vote for natural at the Burt’s Bees Voting Booth at Merchants’ Gate at Columbus Circle in NYC. Other NYC voters can learn more about ‘natural’, cast their vote and receive samples of Burt’s Bees products.

Most importantly, consumers across the America are invited to join Julianne and this movement, casting their votes for the natural at www.votefornatural.com, where they can also learn more about the movement as well as win prizes, including a limited-edition C&C California for Burt’s Bees T-Shirt. Each vote represents a conscious choice to use natural products over the potentially harmful synthetic alternatives as well as support for the new Natural Seal. A ‘vote’ for Natural lets the competition know that the public wants transparency in natural personal care.

You can also win one of the C&C California shirts on both Beauty and Fashion Tech and Girl Gloss! The one being given away here is size Medium.

How To Enter: Leave a comment before the end of Tuesday, September 23, stating why you appreciate or would like to try natural products, Burt’s Bees, or C&C California. You must answer one of those questions in order to be entered. Just saying “hi” won’t cut it! One entry per household please. Duplicate entries will be disqualified. On September 24, I will randomly select a winner, who will be notified here and by email. Failure to respond within 7 days will result in the prize being redrawn.

I will be out of town during much of this contest, so please don’t be alarmed if your entry doesn’t show up right away, I will likely be approving comments much slower than normal! Promotional/spam comments entries will be deleted per the comment policy. Please don’t use your website or product as your user name or include promotional or commercial links in the text, it violates the comment policy.

Good luck!
