Our Story

Welcome to the home of BEE23 Natural Beauty, where helping you feel good in your skin is our mission! There is always a place for you at the table. This skincare product line was built with the knowledge and effort of an entire community; for this reason, I have always included real friends, family, and customers on our website and in skin care product campaigns. I am proud to create superior products that work for serious skincare for face and body free from synthetic chemical additives, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals and fillers.

This is the space where life and the market collide to create products with the tenacity of spirit and the goodness of our natural world. We know the quality of what we apply to our skin is of the utmost importance to not only our natural beauty on the outside but what is on the inside too.

After suffering from severe headaches, I realized the trigger was my favourite perfume. Although the scent was soft, with research I realized there were severely detrimental synthetic chemical additives in the products. As a woman and mother, I immediately saw the connection between what I wore on my skin, my health and the impact it had on those around myself and the environment.

In creating wholly clean formulas with essential oils, herbs, and natural elements such as jojoba oil and beeswax, not only are products free of toxic chemicals and work to serve skin needs with greater results but inspire positive thoughts and feeling. 

A high-performance facial hydration balm that plumps, smooths and restores maturing skin to keep up with the wear and tear of living life "off-the-grid" and demanding activities in the elements became very important to me. Many of the nasty ingredients in perfume were also in many of the mass-produced facial moisturizers. I was not able to find anything in the skin care products marketplace without all of the harmful additives that fulfilled the qualities of a product I wanted to use.

In 2007 I took matters into my own hands and set out on a journey of becoming a skin clinician to gain the knowledge and skills needed to create my first cornerstone product the ‘Hotty Balm.’ This is a natural waterless balm formula that soothes, restores and rejuvenates with all the aspects of a potent facial moisturizer, with none of the contaminants that actually can dry skin and irritate and take away from a youthful complexion. In relying on the naturally occurring complexities in the environment while fitting the formula very closely to the skin, I was able to create powerful skincare balm blends that melt into the body and work for serious sensitive skin conditions. Water-based products regardless of cost are 70-80% water. I use only quality natural ingredients put together in a skincare formula that acts like a light breathable non-comedogenic barrier while working to attract moisture into the cells and lock it in. Protection without congestion and it really does lift, plump and smooth!

I still absolutely love the Mature to Dry Hotty Balm for day use, although now rolling into my 50's the Heroine Hotty Balm has the rich silkiness of the organic argan oil for the evening. 

Little did I know how important this type of formula would be to protect and preserve the health of our skin in urban settings due to the impact of pollution. A decade later and a practicing Clinical Herbalist, I continue to create potent balm formulas, along with an ever expanding line of herbal teas, tinctures and services to nourish the skin and offer relief for sensitive skin conditions, aging, and to help you feel joy in your skin.

Good well-sourced ingredients have always been very important to not only our company core values but in how our skincare products work. I use beeswax sourced from small independent Ontario farmers who love their bees, along with high quality pure essential oils, and local farm wildcrafted sustainably harvested herbs.

A sustainable and fun skin health company outlook has only added to the unique and creative quality of our product line. Our products are shaped by the tough and candid beauty of the outdoors but wrapped up with the flare of a hot pair of shoes.
