Beelove’s hive-to-jar products make a powerful impact – both when you use them, AND when we make them.
They’re super-charged with 100% natural ingredients and enriched with raw, unpasteurized honey, to make you feel radiant, confident, and beautiful.
And they’re made in hope and power – training and employing people returning from incarceration, and connecting them to opportunities and jobs that are truly transformative.
We Believe IN
unlocking opportunities for people.
Supporting and growing thriving communities.
Building with hope and love and beauty.
Honeybees!
Honey-powered beauty
Every person has value and should be treated with dignity and compassion. Every person can make a fresh start. We see the difference skills, training and opportunity can make. And we’re here to make sure that’s available to more people, every day.
Bottom line?
There’s power in every delicious golden drop.
All our products contain 100% raw, urban honey. Chicagoland is full of wild flowers and fruit trees.
Our bees gather nectar from cornflowers, blazing stars, asters, columbines, elderberry, cherry and apple trees, and bring it back to the hive where its turned into honey (bees flutter their wings over the nectar to evaporate some of the water and concentrate the flavor).
We harvest this precious liquid, and carefully blend it into our all-natural beauty products. Each one is handmade with care and infused with love, hope and opportunity.
When it comes to Beelove, beauty really is power.
