Burt's BeesBorn in the remote Maine wilderness in the early 1980s, Burt’s Bees makes natural skin-care and lip-care products, beginning with beeswax candles and lip balm created by Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby. Since 1984, the brand has built its identity around nature-derived ingredients, responsible sourcing and formulas made without animal testing. Its owned facilities run on renewable electricity, and its foundation supports access to green spaces and land stewardship.TARRYTOWN, NY
BeessentialBeessential grew out of David Rzepka’s unexpected turn as a beekeeper and remains a family-owned Ohio business shaped by that connection to the hive.

Based in Sussex County, New Jersey, it creates natural honey-and-hemp personal-care products for people seeking alternatives to harsh ingredients, including plastic-saving shampoo bars and gentle pet care. The company sources honey through its own apiary and local beekeeper community while supporting local farms.WARWICK, NY
