MEET OUR FOUNDER

Debra set out to solve her teenage children's skin problems. She turned to her backyard bee hives and formulated the Detox Masque right in her own kitchen. What started as hand-crafted formulas became the luxurious products we sell today, lab tested and developed locally in the San Francisco Bay Area to meet strictest standards.

In the process she also founded Planet Bee Foundation, an environmental education nonprofit dedicated to creating a green minded generation through education, awareness and stewardship of the struggling bee and pollinator populations. A portion of Marin Bee sales supports Planet Bee Foundation education programs in high needs schools.

This Monday we’re reminding ourselves of the wise words from the one of the queen bees of masking...she said our Detox Masque is one of the best rinse-off masks she's used --- #Repost @poziomka69⠀ ・・・⠀ 🐝Detox Masque 🐝 from @marinbeecompany (pure honey skincare)🐝. . . . . .⠀ 🐝 🐝 🐝 @marinbeecompany uses California Wildflower Honey in their products and by purchasing from them, the you are taking first step towards changing the world, one bee at a time. A percentage of every sale ⠀ goes to help support Plant Bee Foundation, a non-profit organization helping educate about how to help ⠀ saves bees and protect pollinators. So not only are you getting an amazing product but also help all of us as when there will be no bees, there will be no us. Going back to the mask – it’s made of 98% natural and organic ingredients like kaolin which draw out impurities, pumpkin enzymes to exfoliate dead skin cells, oatmeal to soothe and calm and of course honey which is natural antibiotic, protects from toxins and moisturize. It also has green tea, aloe, lavender and others. Application is very easy – just put it on in a thin layer over your entire face and wait for 10 min. The consistency of the mask is thick and sticky resembling honey, clinging to the face instantly, with a grayish color and beautiful scent of honey mixed with herbs. After 10 min, the mask should be washed off with water and it washes away easily. It leaves skin so soft, I couldn’t stop touching my cheeks, and my skin was so well hydrated. Skin becomes bouncy ⠀ and looks healthy and well moisturized after use. Any redness was gone and my pores seemed to be much smaller and after some time, with prolonged use, most of them were gone. I also liked how radiant and bright my skin looked after each use. I recommend this mask, it’s one of the best wash-off mask I’ve used so far with amazing benefits and knowledge that I’m doing something to help our ⠀ environment. 🐝🐝🐝⠀
What a striking look from @tainara_dapper those eyes and that flawless skin! Taking care of your skin by regularly exfoliating is key to cell turnover and removing impurities. If you haven’t tried it check our our Honey Detox Masque! ⠀
