Our Story

Welcome to BEE23 Natural Beauty, where feeling good in your skin is our mission. There's always a place for you here.

This skincare line was built by an entire community—real friends, family, and customers who shaped every product and campaign. I'm proud to create superior skincare for face and body, free from synthetic chemicals, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, and fillers.

Where life and the market meet, we create products rooted in natural goodness and real purpose. We believe the quality of what touches your skin matters—for your natural beauty, your health, and the world around you.

My own journey started with a discovery: my favorite perfume was triggering severe headaches. When I researched the ingredients, I found synthetic additives and toxins I never expected. As a woman and mother, that moment changed everything. I saw the direct connection between what we wear on our skin, our health, and the impact on those we love and our environment.

In creating clean formulas with essential oils, herbs, and natural elements like jojoba oil and beeswax, I've built products that are free from toxic chemicals, deliver real results for skin, and inspire positive feelings.

A high-performance facial hydration balm became essential to me—something that could plump, smooth, and restore maturing skin through demanding outdoor activities and daily life. I couldn't find anything in the marketplace without harmful additives that met my standards.

In 2007, I became a skin clinician to create what would become my cornerstone product: Hotty Balm. This waterless natural balm soothes, restores, and rejuvenates with the power of a potent moisturizer—without the contaminants that dry skin and compromise a youthful complexion. 

By working with naturally occurring ingredients that fit closely to skin's needs, I developed powerful balm blends that melt into the body and work for serious sensitive skin conditions. Most water-based products are 70–80% water. I use only quality natural ingredients in formulas that act as a light, breathable, non-comedogenic barrier while drawing moisture into cells and locking it in. Protection without congestion.

For day, I still love the Mature to Dry Hotty Balm. Now in my 50s, the Heroine Hotty Balm with organic argan oil is my evening choice for its rich silkiness.

A decade later, as a practicing Clinical Herbalist, I continue creating potent balm formulas alongside an expanding line of herbal teas, tinctures, and services to nourish skin and support sensitive conditions, aging, and joy in your complexion.

Good sourcing has always been core to who we are. I use beeswax from small independent Ontario beekeepers, pure essential oils, and locally wildcrafted, sustainably harvested herbs.

Our outlook—sustainable, creative, and fun—shapes every product. We're inspired by the tough beauty of the outdoors, wrapped in the flare of a hot pair of shoes.
