Pure, Natural, Good. From the beginning these three words became my guiding criteria for every Beesential product. Natural ingredients in as pure a form as possible, that are good for people's skin, hair and wellbeing. It warms our hearts to have customers who have followed us from our start, over 10 years ago.
About twenty years ago I agreed to let a co-worker put a beehive on my family farm. I didn’t plan to be responsible for it, but when life events kept him from tending to it, I became a beekeeper. I found bee science and culture fascinating, and I soon began researching bees and attending workshops at The Ohio State University agricultural campus. Beyond enjoying the science, I found that tending the bees gave me time to reflect. It became a cathartic activity. I also came to realize how connected the bees’ world is to ours - any changes in our environment affect their environment as well. I began to think about the foods we eat, the chemicals we use, and the impact these factors have on bees and on us. That’s when the idea hit me: I wanted to make natural skin care and hair products using honey, beeswax, propolis, and other ingredients that are good for us and our world. This is the philosophy behind Beessential. Today my family and I produce a full line of natural products - lip balm, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, foaming soaps, deodorants and creams - that help our customers keep their skin and hair healthy the natural way.

Can local honey really help with seasonal allergies? At Beessential, we explore the long-standing belief that raw, local honey can ease allergy symptoms by gently introducing pollen to the immune system—similar to immunotherapy. While scientific studies show mixed results, many people still swear by this natural remedy. In this post, we break down the theory, examine the science, and offer key considerations for those curious about honey’s potential health benefits—both for allergies and beyond.
