Burts Bees, EF or not?

I bought a Burts Bees trial pack with a gift card.  I was wondering if they really are EF or if they are only "sort of" EF.  For shampoo and soap, are they a fairly good option?

You can check on the human, animal, and environmental impact of the individual products here: cosmeticsdatabase.com

As a company, however, they are owned by Clorox...you can pretty much figure that one out.

I've checked out Burt's Bees on Skin Deep and found that, despite being owned by Clorox, they are some of the best products out there.  Especially for the money.  I can't speak for their shampoo or soap as I am no-poo and use Dr. Bronner's.  But their face cleaning products and lotions are great!

It bothered me that they were owned by Clorox, but I'm coming to terms with that. As I understand it they've done good stuff for frogs and bees, and the BB segment of the company is pretty EF. Its not my top choice, but its the best shampoo for my hair.

I love the Shampoo.  I use a ton of their products and like them.  Some of the face cleansing products leave a residue on my skin, but I love the lotions, face creams, shampoo, chapstick.

They weren't owned by Clorox until very recently, perhaps in the last year or so.  I was a little worried about how getting bought by Clorox would affect their products but so far, so good!

I'm a "bee-junkie" and have used just about all their products at one time or another and have loved most of them!

Thanks!

 I really like the shampoo, conditioner and lip balm so far!
