Burt's Bees smells nice, and has a good feel, but they use "fragrance." It's pretty potent! I don't know what else might have set off my baby's skin, but we had a bad reaction to it. One evening I used Baby Bee on my son after not using it for a while. The next morning he was flame red! He has food sensitivities, so I was racking my brain to see what I might have fed him. Then I saw a handprint on his chest. I'd rubbed my hands together with lotion, then rubbed the lotion on his back while holding his chest. Ouch! It took us almost a month to get his skin back to normal. No more Burt's for us! He also cried when I used the Baby Bee diaper ointment on him, but laughs with Weleda's Calendula ointment.
We were given this product as a gift at our daughter's baby shower. I have always been fond of Bert's bee's products even after they sold out to Clorox, one of my least favorite companies. This is a great lotion for dry and cracked skin as well as for normal skin. My husband loves it. He uses it almost everyday. I like it a lot too. I don't use it as often but when I do it definitely moisturizes. It is great for the babies too. My daughter uses it on her tiny little one year old hands and then walks around sucking on the closed bottle...so for her, there are tons of great uses for this product!!
I tried this for my son and it caused a serious outbreak of ezcema, very bad for his sensitive baby skin when he also has asthma so ezcema from that. I tried it also and it did the same to my skin. burts bees has failed to impress me time and again, i keep trying them since so many people rave, but for me and my family they just aren't that great of products- especially not for the cost and now being owned by clorox.
I still love it, 2 years in the using and both kids have had minor eczema with or without it and the fragrance, Youngest we still use with and he no longer gets skin problems at 8 mos ( I really think it was my milk lacking some enzyme or other)
