We’re Dena and Chrystina, the mother-daughter duo behind Botanical Bee Apothecary. While there are many options for skin care products claiming to be non-toxic and natural, BBA’s artisan skin care concentrates truly meet those expectations. We grow potent healing botanicals on our family farm nestled in the heart of the pacific northwest, hand harvesting each at their peak to ensure maximum effectiveness. We carefully dry those beauties then use an 8-week slow-solar process to thoroughly extract and infuse their nourishing and healing properties in pure, high quality, organic jojoba oil. We consider ourselves a true “farm to face” and “seed to skin” skincare company, crafting artisan treatments that will leave your skin healthy, glowing and happy. 

Our journey started with a personal mission: find healthy and effective solutions for difficult skin issues. Chrystina struggled with cystic acne for years, trying everything from over-the-counter remedies to multiple rounds of Accutane, but nothing truly worked. With the determination and love only a mother brings, Dena, a certified medicinal herbalist, studiously researched and created an all-natural remedy that cleared Chrystina’s acne, fading her scars and restoring her skin’s health and radiance. From there BBA created an acne specific line of cleansers and moisturizers that many describe as “transformative”. BBA went on to develop what we believe to be the best, most natural and healthy line of skin care treatments for any skin type and age.

Our mission is simple: bring high quality, all-natural skin care to everyone.  Our artisan skincare concentrates are handcrafted in small batches with only the finest ingredients, like cold-pressed, hexane- and solvent-free plant-based oils and butters. We never use any artificial colors, synthetic fragrances or chemical additives or preservatives, so you can be confident that what you’re putting on your body’s largest organ, the skin, is truly healthy. Every product we make is something we use for our own family, reflecting our dedication to purity and quality. Every step of our production honors sustainability—from our harvesting practices to minimizing our environmental footprint. We’re passionate about sourcing ethically, locally, and supporting women-owned businesses whenever possible.

At BBA we proudly say we are “Putting Nature Back In Natural ®”.

Learn to love the skin you’re in, the healthy way — embracing aging naturally, with grace and honesty, by keeping your skin as happy and healthy as it can be. Whether you’re dealing with acne, rosacea, managing eczema, looking for gentle products for your baby’s delicate skin, or starting your own natural skincare journey, we’re here to support you every step of the way. We hope that when you choose BBA, you feel like part of our family.
