As part of the masses hooked on the superior moisturizing and natural ingredients of Burt's Bees lip gloss, we were excited to learn about their new line of skincare designed for men. The collection includes bar and liquid soap, shaving cream, aftershave and a cologne.
The cologne's subtle, warm scent, blending citruses and bergamot (i.e. Earl Grey) with woodsy scents for a result that's fresher than most commercial colognes and natural without screaming hippie. The nuanced aroma carries through to the other products thanks to Burt's all-natural mission, which also makes for some of the gentlest products around.
We're particularly taken with the soothing shaving lotion that features calendula (known for care of post-sun or otherwise irritated skin). The body wash, with sunflower oil, is a good bet too.
It's available online from Burt's Bees.

by Tamara Warren It all started with a trusty 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300D. Out of innocent emissions, Further Soap was born, the first bio-diesel soap to come to the market.
