At Beessential, we believe in transparency. While many of our products are plant-based, some include bee-derived ingredients like honey, beeswax, and propolis, as well as yogurt for added nourishment. These ingredients are listed on each product label and on the online product information. We ensure ethical sourcing and sustainable beekeeping, with no harm to honeybees during harvesting. Since vegan definitions vary, we encourage strict vegans to review ingredients or contact us with questions—we're happy to help you find the right product.
Some Beessential products contain gluten-derived ingredients, such as wheat proteins in our haircare and oat/wheat in our Honey & Oat Bar Soap. We do not manufacture in a certified gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Many with gluten sensitivity can tolerate topical use, but if you have Celiac Disease or severe allergies, please consult your healthcare provider. Contact us at your convenience to discover products tailored to your specific needs.
No. We never test on animals—only on family and friends.
Some products contain Cetearyl Alcohol, a fatty alcohol derived from coconut and palm oils, not the drying or irritating alcohols found in beverages or disinfectants. Cetearyl Alcohol moisturizes, stabilizes formulas, and softens skin. It is non-irritating and safe, with low toxicity according to EWG. Many "alcohol-free" products still include fatty alcohols for their benefits.
No. Beessential products are 100% paraben-free. We avoid synthetic preservatives, such as parabens, due to health concerns and use natural alternatives to keep your skin and health safe. For more info, visit EWG.org.
No, we never use harsh sulfates like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). These detergents strip natural oils, causing dryness and irritation. Instead, we use gentle, plant-based cleansers that maintain your skin's natural moisture while effectively cleansing.
No, our lip balms do not currently include SPF. They provide hydration and protection with natural ingredients, but do not block the sun. For sun protection, use our balm in conjunction with a broad-spectrum sunscreen or an SPF lip product. We may offer SPF options in the future.
Most Beessential products have a recommended shelf life of about 2 years, as we use natural ingredients without synthetic preservatives. This is a soft expiration date; products may last longer depending on storage and climate conditions. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Contact us at any time for batch codes or expiration information.
Yes! We use biodegradable packing peanuts made from organic starch—an eco-friendly alternative to traditional foam packaging. They're static-free, dissolve quickly in water, and leave behind no toxic waste. You can compost them or simply run them under water to watch them disappear, making disposal easy and environmentally safe.
We do our best to keep our packaging as sustainable as possible. In addition to biodegradable packing peanuts, we use recyclable materials whenever we can and continually look for ways to reduce our environmental footprint.
Yes, Beessential products are formulated with gentle, natural ingredients and are free from harsh sulfates, parabens, and synthetic preservatives—making them well-suited for sensitive skin. However, everyone's skin is different. We recommend reviewing the ingredient list for each product and doing a patch test before full use. If you have specific concerns, feel free to contact us and we'll help you find the best fit.
We formulate with natural, gentle ingredients, but we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using any new skincare or personal care products during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you'd like to review specific ingredient lists, we're happy to help—just reach out to us at info@beessential.com.
