Hotty Balm
Share
Home of the Hotty Balm! BEE23 Natural Beauty is a Clinical Herbalist Made Canadian Small-Batch Beauty Brand. We offer wholistic skincare consulations 🌱🐝
We produce all-natural balms and blends to plump, smooth and soothe skin naturally. Welcome to the House 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, we always include real friends, family, and customers in our skin care product campaigns. We are 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, Michelle realized the trigger was her favourite perfume. Although the scent was soft, with research she realized there were severely detrimental synthetic chemical additives in the products. As a woman and mother, she immediately saw the connection between what she wore on her skin, her health and the impact it had on those around her 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. It is like your very own happy potion! 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 for Michelle. Many of the nasty ingredients in perfume were also in many of the mass-produced facial moisturizers. She 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 she wanted to use. Taking matters into her own hands Michelle set out on a journey of becoming a skin clinician to gain the knowledge and skills needed to create her 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, she 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. We 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! Little did she 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, Michelle continues 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. We 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. Should you wish help and supportive skincare protocols, beyond product offerings, feel free to contact us for a free 15-minute consultation so we can better serve you. We specialize in dry, damaged, sensitive skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and aging skin. We cannot wait to serve you! Much love xo
Funny how life can take you so far from where you started…and somehow pull you back to the parts of yourself that never really left 🌻🐸

Hot take: dry + sensitive skin does not only need support in the winter.

🎙️ New Podcast Episode LIVE @ NOON 🎙️
☕️ The medicine, or poison, is in the dose. In this episode, we learn how the coffee bean accompanies Captain Bill, a retired American Express sales executive now marine captain, through his firsthand humorous, seemingly haphazard beginnings during the rise of the 90’s excess in the Chicago financial sector to the eventual fall of empires and devastation for many. He spills the tea on the industry, tax loss carryforward ventures, secret stairways, and yacht boardroom parties.
☕️ I allowed the coffee bean to dictate this recording and there is so much background sound. My arms move wildly and after we lost Captain Bill due to tech errors his sound comes back with a crackle. This is what a podcast looks like on coffee for me.
☕️ Captain Bill’s delivery, nonetheless, is like a reset for the parasympathetic nervous system or the ‘rest and relax’ function. We learn about the herbal actions of the coffee bean, along with the consequences of overconsumption.
☕️ I include a DIY liquid coffee toner to tighten and brighten your skin in the video notes.

Foxglove is one of the most beautiful flowers in old folklore, and one of the most dangerous.
Its tall stems of bell-shaped blooms were linked to witches, fairies, hidden places, protection, healing, and death. Even its name carries mystery. Some traditions imagined the flowers as gloves worn by foxes so they could move silently through the woods. Others connected them to the “folk,” an old word for fairy beings.
This gave foxglove a place in fae lore.
Its flowers were said to be worn as tiny gloves, hats, or bells by the hidden folk. Yet disturbing the plant could be dangerous. Like many flowers associated with fairies, it belonged to the boundary between beauty and warning.
Foxglove also carries a powerful history in medicine. Compounds from the plant led to digitalis medicines used to treat certain heart conditions. Yet the plant itself is highly toxic, and consuming it can cause severe illness or death.
This is the contradiction at the heart of foxglove.
It can help the heart.
It can stop the heart.
It can heal.
It can poison.
It can protect.
It can warn.
In witchcraft symbolism, foxglove became a flower of thresholds, spirit work, dangerous knowledge, and respect for the power of plants. It reminds us that natural does not always mean safe, and beautiful does not always mean gentle.
Foxglove is not a flower to treat carelessly.
Its deepest lesson is not about fear.
It is about reverence.
Some plants carry medicine in one hand and death in the other.

🎙️Episode Nine: The Day I Met My Wolf With Plant Ally Red Clover - Hormones, Liver Detoxification & Eczema
In this episode, I recount a slightly cringey childhood story taking place in a noticeable 80’s motif. This is the day that I first met my wolf. I tell my tale making note of the plant allies that accompany me. We learn about the nature of Poplar and Birch trees, and their role in Anishinaabe and Finnish culture.
I briefly point out the multi-dimensional nature of words when they move from, or through, the human body into a narrative, along with the power associated.
Trifolium pratense or Red Clover, which is a part of Stop the Sag Tea, comes with me on this adventure and I cover the medicinal qualities this herb has to offer.
