Burt's Bees Founder Dead at 80: Top 5 Personal Care Products from Shavitz's Company

Readers, if you find your lips feeling a wee bit more chapped today it's because the founder of Burt's Bees – the oh, so popular personal care product company – Burt Shavitz, has died at the age of 80. With a post on the company's Facebook page, fans and followers were alerted of the entrepreneur's death after it happened. To pay homage to the great hippie, MStars News has compiled a list of the top 5 personal care products from the Burt's Bees line.

"It is with broken hearts," the Facebook post reads, "that we must convey the saddest news: Burt Shavitz, our co-founder and namesake, has left for greener fields and wilder woods. We remember him as a bearded, free-spirited Maine man, a beekeeper, a wisecracker, a lover of golden retrievers and his land. Above all, he taught us to never lose sight of our relationship with nature. Now it's up to us, the brand he helped build­—and you, his fans and advocates—to sustain his spirits and ideals. Thanks for everything, Burt. We'll miss you."

Now, let's take a look at the top 5 products from Burt's Bees:

5. NATURAL ACNE SOLUTIONS PURIFYING GEL CLEANSER
Oh, acne – you suck, hard. But luckily we always had our Burt's Bees acne-fighting cleanser to wipe you the heck away. And best part? It worked!

4. LEMON & VITAMIN E BATH & BODY OIL
Who doesn't love to smell like lemon? Thanks to Burt's Bees, our bodies were left radiant with this lemon-scented body oil.

3. BATH CRYSTALS
Made up of salts, this bath crystal scrub offered us not only a chance to rejuvenate our skin, but it also gave us an excuse to stay home alone on a Friday night and just relax. Kudos, Burt!

2. ALMOND MILK HAND CRÈME
Ah, almond milk. We love you in our coffee; we love you on our skin! This hand crème is a classic Burt's Bees product. But just because it's old doesn't mean it's out of style.
