Bee Simple initially formed out of complete frustration in my search to live a less toxic life. Due to an outbreak of rosacea and lack of knowledge about how to get rid of it, research showed I needed to eliminate as many chemicals as I could. After years of battling through a minefield of information (and misinformation) about commonly used terms and ingredients, trying to source non-toxic products and battling misleading terms like Chemical Free & Organic I decided to try making my own.

Wanting to be as natural as I could, I started with our excess of honey and beeswax from our Maidstone garagetop beehives making things like the lip balm and handwash and was mighty impressed with the results. So I made some more for friends and after a huge amount of positive feedback I decided to create Bee Simple.

.... thank you my little bee friends, you really are wonderfully fascinating creatures and your work is greatly appreciated!
