About The Bee's Knees Naturals
Our Inspiration
At The Bee's Knees Naturals, we take our cue from the quiet elegance of nature and the enduring tradition of handcrafting.
Our journey into skincare began out of necessity—our sensitive skin called for gentler, more wholesome remedies. A sojourn to the Scottish countryside rekindled a forgotten wisdom: that nature provides all we need—tallow, honey, herbs, and oils.
Each of our creations is made in the spirit of yesteryear, when care and intention were stitched into every garment, ladled into every jar, and blended into every balm. There is a singular joy in crafting something by hand—especially when it is meant to be treasured by another.
Our Formulas & Handmade Items
Nature’s wisdom, handmade with heart.
We craft our skincare the old-fashioned way—in small batches, with care, intention, and ingredients straight from nature. Using time-honored staples like Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Arizona Beeswax, each blend is made to nourish and restore, just as nature intended.
Our aprons and handmade goods carry the same spirit—stitched and assembled with love, inspired by a simpler era when things were made to last and made by hand. Every piece is one of a kind, crafted with heart, and meant to be treasured.

Tallow contains many incredible nutrients for our skin
Vitamin A: Boosts collagen production for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Enhances skin elasticity and speeds up skin cell turnover for smoother, clearer skin.
Vitamin D: Reduces skin inflammation, an antioxidant that shields skin from damage, and aids in preventing the accumulation of dead skin cells. It also contributes to warding off infections.
Vitamin E: An antioxidant that prevents free radical damage, aids in wound healing, and repairs damaged skin.
Vitamin K: Enhances skin elasticity to reduce stretch marks, may diminish dark spots, and supports wound healing for healthy skin. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): CLA has anti-inflammatory properties and supports the immune system. CLA and vitamin E may aid rheumatoid arthritis. Research indicates CLA has cancer-fighting benefits and may protect against heart disease. A 2006 study showed beef tallow enhanced CLA's ability to combat breast cancer cells in mice, preventing tumors from spreading.
Oleic Acid: Supports skin softness and flexibility by forming a protective lipid layer. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties and aids in skin cell regeneration.
Stearic acid: Aids in safeguarding the skin barrier (sebum contains approximately 11% stearic acid). Functions as an emollient to soften and provide a smooth, silky skin texture. Alleviates flaking and itching, particularly from psoriasis.
