We are a company of integrity.  Our mission is to use the best truly natural and organic ingredients to help you and to help our planet. The organic and natural plant ingredients we use to support our hive products have been extracted without chemicals and as part of the sustainable agriculture movement, we strive to buy and use domestic ingredients that are not decimating local ecosystems and are readily renewable.

We don't like any of the definitions of natural and organic ingredients out there so we've developed our own strict, ethical standard:

Plant or mineral based ingredients that come from readily renewable resources.

No chemicals, no petroleum derivatives, no synthetic isolates, no replications of plant compounds, no cosmeceuticals, no bioceuticals, no added alpha or beta hydroxy acids, hyaluronic acids, vitamin esters, wheat, gluten or corn ingredients. 

Obtained through methods that do not require the use of harsh, un-natural chemicals or excessive heat.

No handling practices that will adversely effect the quality of the raw end product.

Have no suspected potential human health risks.

Products labeled organic must be certified organic by a reputable agency.

When there is no viable natural alternative available, the substance must have been derived from naturally occurring raw materials and possess no known health risks.

No sourcing from companies that do animal testing.

In addition, we believe products should be holistic, beneficial therapies with solid, scientific evidence to back up any claims.  The research should be readily available to the consumer for review. 

Every ingredient should be listed on the label and in company promotional material, including websites.
