Burt’s Bees commissions world's first miniature lip balm sculptures
To mark the occasion of World Bee Day, Burt’s Bees is celebrating with the arrival of the world’s first ever miniature sculptures made out of the latest Burt’s Bees Chai Tea Lip Balm.
The sculptures, commissioned by Burt’s Bees, have been carefully crafted by globally renowned Hong Kong miniature sculptor, Maysum.
The five miniature sculptures, which took more than two days to sculpt and measure 1.5 centimetres in height, bring to life a tea cup and saucer, a honey bee, honey comb and honey pot, all representative of the newest Chai Tea Lip Balm. To add an additional cultural twist, the Sydney Opera House was also carved, with such precision that each sail is visible.
"It is wonderful to partner with Maysum for the launch of the Burt’s Bees Chai Tea Lip Balm in Australia," said Burt's Bees senior brand manager, Nicola Quinn. "We are delighted with the outcome of her precise craftsmanship which perfectly brings to life the story of our brand, with our everyday hero being the humble bee and the unique ingredients which we include in our products such as Chai Tea Lip Balm."

The Body Shop announces in-store recycling scheme
The Body Shop has announced its latest eco-friendly initiative, aiming to tackle plastic pollution by teaming up with global recycling pioneers, TerraCycle®.
Initially available in five countries - UK, Australia, Canada, France and Germany - this partnership enables customers to return their empty bottles, jars, tubs, tubes and pots, in-store, so TerraCycle® can recycle, where possible, in the local market environment. All stores within these five markets will feature a recycling bin where customers can return any five empty products from The Body Shop and receive an incentive.
In addition to this, The Body Shop is also launching its first Community Trade recycled plastic from Bengaluru, India.
In its first year, The Body Shop, in partnership with Plastics For Change, will purchase 250 tonnes of Community Trade recycled plastic to use in nearly three million 250mL haircare bottles by the end of 2019. This marks the start of a wider ambition, which is to introduce Community Trade Recycled plastic across all PET plastic used by The Body Shop within three years.
