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.
Celebrating Queens: Honoring Women and Bees on International Women’s Day
In honor of International Women's Day, we're celebrating the incredible role women play in both the honey bee hive and the world. Did you know that over 90% of the honey bees in a hive are female, working tirelessly to pollinate crops and create honey? This post highlights the impact of women beekeepers who are making a difference in their communities and the environment. We also share honey-inspired recipes that celebrate these pollinators and the women who help protect them. Join us in honoring the queens of the hive and the amazing women worldwide!

While honey is a natural and nutritious sweetener loved by many, it’s not safe for babies under one year old. Honey can contain Clostridium botulinum spores, a bacteria that can lead to infant botulism—a rare but serious condition affecting the nervous system. Because babies’ digestive systems are still developing, they can’t fend off these harmful spores. Pediatricians recommend introducing honey into their diet until your child’s first birthday. At Beessential, we care about health and safety as much as we do about bees, so always follow expert guidance when it comes to your baby’s nutrition.
