A small company, tended with care.
Taking care of my own skin, and helping others take care of theirs, has been part of my life since becoming a licensed master esthetician in 2005. Somewhere along the way, I started making my own products instead of just recommending them, and it turned into something I couldn't put down.
It started with persimmon soap and a little research into what actually made it work. That curiosity turned into batch after batch of my own, until soap and skincare stopped being a side project and became something I genuinely love doing.
My family and I love living here in the Utah mountains, and we spend plenty of time exploring the mountains of the surrounding states too. That connection to the outdoors is part of why eco-conscious choices matter so much to me, from the ingredients I formulate with to the shrink wrap your order ships in. I want what I make to be as good for the planet as it is for your skin.
Everything I make is built with a purpose in mind, whether that's solving something specific, helping you feel good, or simply being what you reach for without a second thought. Function always comes first for me, no matter how big or small the reason behind it.
I believe in everything I make, it's the whole reason I started this journey in the first place.
It's Always a Good Time to Bee Tended
Bee Tended is built on a simple idea: just as bees work together to tend their hive, tending to your body takes more than one thing done well. Every product, from soap to skincare, is handmade in small batches with real, purposeful ingredients chosen for what they do. Together, they're meant to work as a system of care, not a single fix. All skin deserves to Bee Tended, and that's exactly what we aim to do.
Try the Bars that Started it All
Persimmon & ACV Stay Fresh
A Centuries-Old Approach to Odor
Citrus • Bright • Fresh
Part of our Purpose-Built collection, Persimmon and ACV Stay Fresh is built around kakishibu, a Japanese persimmon tannin long known for its traditional use against stubborn body odor. It's especially suited for odor linked to the natural changes in skin chemistry that come with age, as well as the everyday odor that builds from an active lifestyle or a hard workout. Persimmon tannin is known for binding to odor rather than simply masking it with fragrance, which is part of what sets it apart from regular soap.
This bar is hot-processed specifically so the apple cider vinegar, persimmon tannin, and a dose of probiotic-rich yogurt can be added after the cook, preserving their benefits rather than losing them to the heat of the process.
Scented with bright citron and mandarin, layered with grapefruit, peach, and orange with a soft hint of vanilla and musk. No added color here. The soft brown with a hint of purple comes naturally from the tannin reacting with the apple cider vinegar.
As with all our hand-cut bars, small differences in size and weight are normal from one to the next.
Face & Sensitive Skin
Gentle by Design
Fragrance-Free • Non-Comedogenic • Gentle
Face and Sensitive Skin is part of our Purpose-Built and Made Neat collections. It is formulated specifically for the face as well as for skin that reacts easily to colors and scents. Every oil in this bar was chosen to be non-comedogenic, including leaving out coconut oil entirely, so it won't clog pores. No added fragrance and no added color keep this bar gentle and clean.
Aloe vera juice adds a soothing, calming feel, while hemp oil and jojoba oil keep the bar lightweight rather than heavy or greasy.
Hand-poured into individual molds, so minor variation in weight is normal from bar to bar.
Lavender & Herb Garden
Reset in a Bar
Herbal • Calming • Grounding
Calming lavender backed by clary sage and geranium for an herbal edge, with a soft, rosy hint of palmarosa underneath. It's grounding rather than sweet. The kind of scent that makes a shower feel like a reset button.
Part of our Made Neat collection so it contains 100% essential oils and colored with rose clay and indigo. Built on an olive oil and shea butter base that conditions while it cleans, and lathers up thick and full even in hard water.
Handmade in small batches and cut by hand, so no two bars ever look or weigh quite identical.
Oatmeal Milk & Honey
Basically a Warm Hug
Oats • Honey • Almond
This soap smells warm and comforting with oats, almond and tonka bean. It has a light scent of honey and vanilla with a soft musk underneath. It's a classic for a reason and one of the most enduring, well-loved scent combinations in soap making. It still feels like a warm bath before bed every time.
This tallow and goat milk bar keeps a smooth, poured finish and a lather that holds up thick and full even in hard water. No added color here, just the natural warm tan that comes from the oats and honey themselves.
Every bar is cut by hand, so small differences in size and shape are simply part of how it's made.
Patchouli Key Lime
Converts Patchouli Skeptics
Key Lime • Patchouli • Clary Sage
Bright key lime, patchouli and a touch of clary sage. The kind of scent that wakes you up in the shower. Even people who normally do not like patchouli have come back for more of this one. The lime keeps it from ever going heavy or incense-like.
Part of our Made Neat Collection. It is made with 100% essential oils and colored with spirulina. This bar is hot-processed rather than cold-processed, giving it a raw, handcrafted look instead of a smooth pour. The tallow base, plus oil added after the cook instead of before, means this bar won't leave skin feeling stripped or dry.
Since each bar is made and cut by hand no two will be perfectly identical in size or weight.
