Beauty and the Bees Organic Skin Care

Best organic natural skin care, including anti-aging and organic baby skin care

Jill Saunders grew up in England in a family where natural herbal remedies were part of everyday life. As an eczema sufferer with extremely dry, sensitive skin, Jill tried every commercial skincare product to alleviate the problem. After experiencing the damage and learning about the harmful effects of petrochemical mineral oils and their synthetic derivatives present in most skincare products, 15 years ago, Jill returned to her grandmother's old remedies, truly natural raw ingredients and 2000 year old formulae to make her own skin-friendly range of products. Jill emigrated to Tasmania, Australia in 1992 to seek out the island's abundant and natural ingredients, like the aromatic Leatherwood honey, which is unique to Tasmania.  Jill began harvesting and making natural skincare products in Australia's island state, Tasmania in 1993 using fresh, local ingredients - focusing on the rainforest island's unique, aromatic Leatherwood honey and beeswax. Tasmania's cool climate also meant that potent, certified, organic herbs would play a key role in the Beauty and the bees' range. Koru Naturals is proud to bring Jill’s products to the U.S.
