Our Story

Born from Nursing.
Built from Nature.

Since 1992, Bee Naturals has been formulating pure, effective skincare rooted in science and nature — right here in Clarksville, Missouri.

How It All Began

It all began in 1992 when Barbara Chappuis, a Registered Nurse, wasn't getting the results she needed. Her hands were cracked, bleeding, and raw from the constant hand washing and harsh chemicals at the hospital.

After trying several commercial creams and lotions — many of which included potentially harmful ingredients — she decided to formulate her own solution. She developed Bee Naturals™ Skin Creme Bars, and the results were stunning.

Not only did her hands heal within days, her natural formulation created a protective barrier that helped them stay healthy. Word spread quickly among her nursing colleagues, then through the community, and Bee Naturals was born.

Our Product Philosophy

  • Highest Quality Ingredients: We source nature's most potent, bioavailable actives and combine them using green chemistry practices.
  • Client-Driven Development: Our formulations evolve based on real customer feedback and observed results, not trends.

From our flagship Queen Bee collection to targeted serums and the CHM Method skincare routine, every Bee Naturals product is designed to deliver visible, lasting results while respecting your skin and the environment.

The CHM Method

In 2020, Bee Naturals introduced the CHM Method — a simple, science-backed framework that takes the guesswork out of skincare. Three steps, in the right order, with the right products for your skin type. That's it.

C — Cleanse

Remove what doesn't belong without stripping what does. The foundation of every healthy routine.

H — Hydrate

Flood skin with water-binding actives and barrier-building ingredients before sealing them in.

M — Moisturize

Seal, protect, and nourish. Lock in everything your skin just received and defend it through the day or night.
