From the heart of the Pacific Northwest comes a lip balm truly like no other - Portland Bee Balm handmade beeswax based lip balm. Our small company makes one product with care and love - an all natural beeswax based balm that soothes, moisturizes and protects your lips with nature. It was from Brad's love of bees, woodworking, and his wife Anika that Portland Bee Balm was born. Anika was searching for a more natural, effective lip balm, and Brad was keeping bees. True to the DIY spirit with which they were raised, they took the beeswax from their hives and set out to create a high-quality product that reflected the social and environmental values they hold true. Now, our small team in southeast Portland is spreading those values and bee balms to the wider world.As active participants of the world in which we live, we strive to create meaningful, useful products that are genuinely natural, add value to people's lives, and help bring awareness to our role in the natural environment. With a focus on creating a simple and pure product, we make Portland Bee Balm with beeswax from Pacific Northwest hives, adding only select handful of carefully sourced organic and local ingredients in just the right proportion to create not just a great balm, but the BEST balm. We then wrap the balms in real wood instead of processed paper and present them in lovingly handcrafted reusable or recyclable displays.From the ingredients we source, to the packaging we use, to our interactions with customers, we work to be a business that supports the health and well-being of the environment, our community, and of course, bees and their keepers. We are proud to be a One Percent for the Planet member company and have pledged to give one percent of our revenues to Portland Urban Beekeepers Association - helping people to beekeep in urban environments where connection to the natural world is lacking.
