Burt's Bees has the benefit of using every single natural product yet can offer a wide range of things that are sound and stylish. Further, Ocean Cosmetics’s conveyance and marketing are frail. Its products are sold in just a couple of outlets in one US area, the Northwest. Another worry identifies with Carol's capacities to grow her business. In the event that she chooses to accentuate development as an objective, the business could do well. In any case, then again, she has no past encounters (and maybe no instructive foundation) with overseeing development. These weaknesses are frequently connected with little, new ventures like Ocean Cosmetics. Another weakness is that Carol does not presently have a patent on her cream. At last, despite the fact that Carol's relationship with Sage Shipping can be consider a quality, it can likewise be a weakness if, for instance, Sage were to close and leave Ocean Cosmetics without a supplier for a significant number of its ingredients and compartments. Given different sellers exist for makers of skin care products, Ocean Cosmetics would have the capacity to distinguish different suppliers yet it would be a tedious

There are some very good beauty products out in many stores that can help the appearance of someone, but there are some that may do more damage instead of help. These products that say that they are revitalizing the skin or putting more sheen in your hair may just be like putting toxins into your body. The most fearful thing about these products is that they could be right in your local store that sells them, but don’t get me wrong not all of them sell things like these but it is still raising a good question of, “What are the ingredients of the hair care or skin care products that you buy?”
Since an extreme amount of food is produced by bees, without them, more people and animals on this planet would not be fed. Over the past years, the bee population has decreased significantly (Grossman, 2013). The primary suspect for the troubles that the bees are facing is Neonicotinoids, also known as neonics, used on agriculture. They are a new type of pesticide, which were created in order to prevent harm to human health, but still has major consequences for bees. The effects of the neonics are similar to nicotine, which lessen their motor skills. Also, Therefore, banning pesticides is very important to the wellbeing of the bees. In addition, a large amount of our food is produced by bees and it they were to be

Honeybees are not natural to North America. They were imported from Europe in the 1600”s. Their honey is very beneficial to humans because it is used in so many aspects of our lives. It is used as a sweetener in syrup, candies, and medicines. In addition, its beeswax is used to make candles, wax, and polishes to name only a few. Furthermore, the honeybee is also essential because they pollinate our crops, our trees, and our flowers.
Brit Amos begins talks about the loss of foods stating that “Commercial beehives pollinate over a third of {North} America’s crops and that web of nourishment encompasses everything from fruits like peaches, apples, cherries, strawberries and more, to nuts like California almonds, 90 percent of which are helped along by the honeybees” (Amos). Honey bees are much more famous for producing honey. However, most people do not know that “the benefits of honey go beyond its great taste” (“Health Benefits of Honey”). For example, “The 3 key health benefits of honey are related to the fact that: 1. Honey is nature's energy booster 2. Honey is a great immunity system builder 3. Honey is a natural remedy for many ailments” (“Health Benefits of Honey”). It is interesting to think that something as small and insignificant as the honey bee can provide us with so many basic needs.
But just as Ben & Jerry’s has tried to stay true to its roots after being purchased by Unilever, Burt’s Bees is, by all accounts, still driven by its founding mission: “to create natural, Earth-friendly personal care products formulated to help you maximize your well-being and that of the world around you.” Only now, thanks to deep pockets and Clorox’s distribution machine, it might push the industry towards ‘all natural’ even faster.
During the past decade the presence of bee diseases, droughts and other variable weather conditions has reduced the supply of bees worldwide. In the United States for example, the past few years have seen bush-fires, droughts, the killer mite (Varroa destructor) and the Colony Collapse Disorder wreck havoc with U.S. honey crops by destroying nearly two-thirds of their colonies. This has lead to a market opportunity for other countries to sell their honey to the U.S., which happens to be the largest consumer (and 3rd largest importer) of honey worldwide.
