Our Story

John Replogle — President & CEO

John Replogle joined Burt's Bees in 2006 to oversee all our activities and set the tone and direction for everything we do. He came to us from Unilever, where he ran the skin care division and helped to launch the Real Beauty campaign for Dove and establish the Dove Self-Esteem Fund for young girls.

John's love for our products and his family both played a role in his decision to come on board. He has four daughters and says "Raising their awareness to environmental and natural product consciousness provides a very tangible benefit in my life. I just feel like this is a place where I can be my best, do great work and do some good in the process."

Some of that good includes developing our ECOBEES program at work. This group of volunteers helps develop company-wide initiatives that both educate employees and the community about sustainability goals and implement them. John says, "The company's mission and my personal mission are beautifully aligned. I'm proud of what we've achieved and keen to move forward to do even more — to fulfill our potential and to be a company that helps define the evolving relationship between business and community."

John earned a B.A. in History from Dartmouth College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. His upbringing in New England gave him a great appreciation for the ocean and mountains and helped him to become an avid outdoorsman. Put him on a bike, in a canoe or on a hiking trail and he couldn't be happier.

John's favorite Burt's Bees products: Herbal Deodorant, Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme (especially in winter) and Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme.
