I understand where you are coming from, Jessica, trust me I do. But if we continue to tell these corporations, “good job!” when they are not even coming close to doing so, it will only encourage their under-achieving ways to continue.
we have got to let them know that we are aware of the harm their products have done, and are continuing to do, to our natural environment every day. They make enough money off of killing our planet that they very much so can afford to pay some of it back.
In the very least, at least take some of their products back (pull from production and cease all further production processes) because I, for one, am not buying into it anymore.

Thanks to you both for taking the time to comment on my article.

Patricia: I received a sample of Yes to Carrots and find that it works well on my skin, especially the hands. I’m glad you like it as well!

Jessica: I appreciate your feedback. I do mention in the article that Burt’s Bees was bought by Clorox, but it seems to me that Burt’s Bees is working hard to keep their philosophies and natural practices, which their goals reflect. Burt’s Bees is now available in more stores, giving more consumers access to natural products. And you’re right that Jergens isn’t the most green company out there, but they’re making an effort (whether it be for ethical or financial reasons) to provide a more natural product than their ones before, with full disclosure of ingredients.

I do believe that every step towards sustainability is helpful, and only by working together can we achieve our goals for a greener future.

i had higher expectations when i clicked the link to browse the info. Burt’s Bees was a great company, that is, as of lately. They were bought out by The Clorox Company, a subsidiary of DuPont, which we all know that there is nothing eco-friendly about.
And Jergen’s? Really? Come on…

I have to say that this article really helped me out in my quest to find an all natural lotion. I recently purchased the Yes to Carrots body lotion and it has to be the best product out there for dry skin. WIth so many harmful products out on the market its really refreshing to see how more and more companies are turning to the all natural way of life. Each day I learn more about the different options available to consumers which dont require us to dig deep into our pockets. Thank you for your article. Keep it up!
