Beessential Honey Conditioner

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.
