Nature’s original skincare secret.
BeeMD is a honey-based skincare line that is natural, sustainable and most importantly, effective.
Our unique, dermatologist-developed formulas deliver results for various types of skin needs; hydration if you tend to have dry skin; anti-inflammatory if you tend to have inflamed skin, acne-prone or red skin; and anti-aging if you are looking to brighten, tighten and smooth out wrinkles. BeeMD is a skincare line that benefits all skin types and ages.
Why Bees?
The use of honey can be traced back to approximately 2000 BC in ancient Greece and Egypt. Most famously, Cleopatra was known to bathe in a honey and milk bath and Nefertiti also used honey in her beauty routine. Bees and their products offer a variety of benefits for skincare, including moisturizing, healing, and anti-aging properties. Honey, propolis, bee pollen, and royal jelly are all utilized in skincare for their unique properties. These ingredients can help hydrate, soothe, protect, and rejuvenate the skin.
“I decided to develop a skincare line based on bee products because it seems that we are all looking for that next best ingredient in our skincare yet people have used honey for millennia due to its beneficial properties on the skin.”
— Dr. Katherine Orlick, Founder
The bee by-products used in BeeMD are sourced from a variety of small, family-run apiaries in the United States. All of the ingredients are natural and are ethically sourced and sustainable.
Why Honey?
Honey is a versatile skincare ingredient with a range of benefits, including moisturizing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. It can help hydrate the skin, fight acne-causing bacteria, reduce redness and inflammation, and even promote faster wound healing.
Honey is found in BeeMD Honey Cleanser, BeeMD Day Lotion and BeeMD Ambrosia Night Cream. More details on the benefits include:
1. Moisturizing: Honey is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture and retains it, providing hydration to the skin.
2. Exfoliating: Honey contains enzymes that gently exfoliate the skin, producing a brighter, smoother "glow".
3. Anti-aging: Honey contains anti-oxidants that prevent free radical damage, preventing premature aging. It also has been shown to improve elasticity, microcirculation and smooth wrinkles.
4. Anti-inflammatory: Honey contains phenolic compounds and flavinoids which have been shown to reduce inflammation and thus be useful in skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Why Propolis?
Propolis, a resinous substance produced by honeybees, offers numerous benefits for the skin due to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. It can help with acne, eczema, and overall skin health by reducing inflammation, fighting bacteria, and promoting healing.
Propolis is found in BeeMD Propolis Mist. More details on the benefits include:
1. Moisturizing: Propolis is particularly beneficial for dehydrated skin.
2. Anti-aging: Propolis contains caffeic acid, coumaric acid and ferulic acid which absorb UV light thus protecting the skin from UV radiation. Also contains anti-oxidants (see above). Helps with collagen 1 and 3 formation.
3. Anti-inflammatory: Propolis helps with acne-prone skin, eczema and psoriasis; reduces redness and calms irritation.
Why Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly, a secretion produced by worker bees, offers several benefits for skin health. It can help with hydration, elasticity, and reducing signs of aging due to its rich nutrient and antioxidant content.
Royal Jelly is found in BeeMD Royal Jelly Serum. More details on the benefits include:
1. Moisturizing: Royal jelly is rich in lipids, including 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), which helps to hydrate and moisturize the skin. This can improve skin elasticity and reduce dryness.
2. Collagen production: Royal jelly contains amino acids and nutrients that stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity
3. Anti-aging: Royal jelly contains antioxidants, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, which help protect the skin from free radical damage that can lead to premature aging, wrinkles, and fine lines.
4. Anti-inflammatory: Royal jelly may help soothe and reduce skin irritation, redness, and swelling. Can normalize sebum production, thus help with acne-prone skin.
Why Bee Pollen?
Bee pollen, also known as ambrosia, can offer several benefits for the skin including anti-aging, moisturizing, and soothing properties.
Bee Pollen is found in BeeMD Ambrosia Night Cream. More details on the benefits include:
Anti-aging: Bee pollen contains antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols that help neutralize free radicals, which can damage skin cells and contribute to aging. The amino acids and other nutrients in bee pollen can support skin cell regeneration and help improve skin elasticity, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Anti-inflammatory: Bee pollen can help reduce inflammation and swelling, making it beneficial for conditions like acne and eczema.
Moisturizing: Bee pollen can help maintain skin moisture, contributing to a healthy and supple complexion.
