It was Brad's love of bees, woodworking, and his wife Anika that seeded the existence of Portland Bee Balm. Anika was searching for a more natural, effective lip balm, and Brad was keeping bees. True to the DIY spirit they were brought up in, 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 we live in we strive to create meaningful, useful products that are genuinely natural, add value to people's lives, and help bring awareness of our role in the natural environment.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.
