Bee Farmee

One of the little things that never gets old in the Bee Farmee workshop. 🐝🌿

Before the ingredients for our tooth powder are blended, they create the most fascinating little landscapes of color and texture.

Every batch looks like a tiny abstract masterpiece before I come along and ruin the artwork by mixing it all together.
It's the little things that amuse me. 💚

And if you've never tried tooth powder, consider this your gentle invitation to explore something a little different for your daily oral care routine. Simple ingredients, thoughtfully blended, and made with intention.

Curious? We'd love to introduce you to Bee Farmee Tooth Powder! 🐝✨

🐝 WHY COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING? 🌿

Because what surrounds our products matters, too!

At Bee Farmee Botanicals, we carefully consider our ingredients—what they do, where they come from, and why they belong in our formulations. That responsibility extends to our packaging.

Traditional plastic is durable, affordable, and convenient, but it can persist for decades or centuries, eventually breaking into smaller pieces called microplastics.

🌿 Enter compostable packaging!

Certified compostable materials are designed to break down through biological processes under specific conditions. With the right microorganisms, moisture, oxygen, and temperature, they can become carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.

One important note: Compostable doesn’t automatically mean backyard biodegradable. Some materials require the controlled conditions of an industrial composting facility—and compostable never means litter-friendly.

So why choose it?

💚 To reduce our reliance on conventional plastics.
💚 To consider our products’ environmental impact beyond their ingredients.
💚 To support packaging designed with end-of-life disposal in mind.
💚 To make small, intentional improvements as a business.

🐝 A LITTLE DEODORANT TIP!

New to Bee Farmee deodorant? Our compostable tubes are push-pop style, with no twist mechanism. Gently push up from the base, apply, and you’re ready to go!

A little different? Yes—but that’s part of choosing more thoughtful packaging. 💚

Is compostable packaging perfect? Nope. It still requires resources to produce, and proper disposal matters. Sustainability is about asking better questions, learning as we go, and making thoughtful improvements wherever possible.

Nature has a purpose. And we believe our packaging should, too. 🐝🌿

🐝 LET'S TALK BEESWAX! 🐝

You already know beeswax is one of our favorite ingredients. But do you know what it actually does for your skin? Let's get a little scientific. 🔬

First, here's something important to understand: Moisture and hydration aren't exactly the same thing.

Hydration refers to the water content in your skin, while moisturizing involves helping your skin maintain that hydration and keeping it feeling soft and supple.

And that's where beeswax really shines!

💛 Beeswax is an occlusive ingredient. That's a fancy skincare term for something that forms a protective layer over the skin's surface, helping slow down *transepidermal water loss* (TEWL).

In everyday language? Your skin naturally loses water throughout the day, and beeswax helps reduce how quickly that happens.

💛 It works with your skin's moisture barrier. Your outermost layer of skin, called the *stratum corneum*, is responsible for keeping moisture in and environmental irritants out. Beeswax helps support that barrier's protective function by forming a breathable, water-resistant film on the surface.

💛 It softens and smooths. Beeswax also has emollient properties, meaning it helps skin feel smoother and softer. That's especially lovely for dry, rough areas like lips, hands, elbows, and heels.

Here's the really interesting part: Beeswax doesn't actually add water to your skin.

Instead, it helps your skin hold on to the moisture that's already there. That's why we love pairing it with other thoughtfully selected ingredients that complement its protective properties.

Nature is pretty clever, isn't she? 🌿

At Bee Farmee Botanicals, we believe ingredients should have a purpose. Beeswax isn't there just to give our balms their beautiful texture. It's there because it has a job to do.

Nature has a purpose. And so does every ingredient we choose. 🐝💛

🍎🍂 Oh, how I LOVE this time of year!

As I've been preparing apples from this year's harvest for my Bee Farmee simmer pot pouches, I realized something. This might just be my absolute favorite part of fall!

There's something so comforting about the smell of apples and cinnamon simmering away, filling the house with warmth while that crisp autumn air drifts in from outside. It's one of those simple little pleasures that makes me wish fall would stick around just a bit longer. 🥰

And now I'm curious! What's YOUR favorite part of autumn? Is it a particular scent, a family tradition, the changing leaves, or something else entirely?

Tell me! I want to hear all about the little things that make this season special to you. 🍁💛

When "harvest" is at the top of my to-do list for my weekend activities... it *might* mean that one of your favorite products is on its way to you soon!

Sumac, juniper berries, and evergreen leaves is what I'm harvesting this weekend. We'll also be dehydrating our harvest apples (Livesay Orchard, not mine) and orange slices in full preparation mode for Bee Farmee simmer pot pouches!

This week, we finished up our Sweater Weather essential oil blends for simmer pot infusions, so stay tuned and keep a look out. We are SO close! 🍂🥘🍎

I can finally officially share the date! 🎉

Bee Farmee Botanicals is going to be part of The Farm Hippie Fillery, a brand-new Oklahoma-only zero waste shop opening inside Farm Hippie Claremore!

And now we officially know when you can come see it:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30!

The Fillery will give you a whole new way to shop locally made products with less packaging—and I'm ridiculously excited that Bee Farmee gets to be part of it.

🎉 Grand Opening | 2:00–3:00 PM
✂️ Ribbon Cutting | 2:00 PM
📍 Farm Hippie Claremore

Save the date. I'll be there, and I would LOVE to see some familiar Bee Farmee faces there too. 💚

These hands have built things, fixed things, planted things, hauled things, and probably worked harder than I could ever imagine.

Farmhand was made for hands like these. In fact, Ash specifically requested Farmhand, and it's been a Bee Farmee staple since.

A rich, ultra-healing balm for dry, rough, hardworking skin—packed into a sturdy little tin made to get tossed in a toolbox, tucked in a glovebox, or slipped right into your back pocket.

No fancy routine.
No fuss.
Just dig in, rub it on, and get back to work.

🐝 Bee Farmee Farmhand
For the hands that get things done. 💛

(And yes, Ash was graciously volunteered to be my hand model. 😂💕)

🐝 Boy, y'all are loving the Renew!

Thank you. Truly. 💛

Renew has been keeping me heading back to the workbench for fresh batches, and there are few things more satisfying as a maker than watching something I created become something you come back for again and again.

I'm happy to say Renew Day + Night Eye Cream is now freshly made and FULLY RESTOCKED at all three Farm Hippie locations!

Thoughtfully formulated for the delicate skin around the eyes, every ingredient in Renew was chosen intentionally for the job it's there to do. Because that's always been the Bee Farmee way: nature has a purpose.

Thank you for keeping this maker busy—and for loving this little jar so darn much. 🐝💛
