Green Bee Botanicals

“I went through a gnarly skin phase during menopause. Between the acne, sun spots, and tired eyes, I had a hard time even looking at myself. I’m forever grateful to Green Bee for making skincare that not only works but is made of ingredients that are safe for me and the planet. Their face serum and eye cream are my ride-or-die products.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A day after our own heart. California Biodiversity Day honors our state’s biodiverse regions and celebrates that we are home to more species of plants and animals than any other state. For 9 days, agencies, environmental advocates, and biodiversity nerds (like us) immerse themselves in all that California has to offer - mountain hikes, underwater dives, art in nature, activism, and education. To learn more, we hope you’ll check out California State Parks. And get outside to take a closer look 🌿🌊

The skin under your eyes is the thinnest skin on your entire body. It also has almost no oil glands of its own. This is why it dries out fastest and shows fatigue easiest. Our Revive Brightening Eye Cream is made with the magic trio of phytocannabinoids, caffeine, and calendula to deeply moisturize, de-puff, and reduce the appearance of dark circles and lines — both immediately and over time.

HOW TO USE: Gently tap a small amount under and around eyes; delicately blend in.

TIP: It’s also great for the neck and above the upper lip, anywhere skin runs thin or gets extra dry and irritated. Many of our customers also swear by it as a spot treatment for breakouts!

Two of our favorite topics are biodiversity and healthy soil, because both nurture the plants that end up in and on our bodies. This is lupine, a beautifully beneficial wildflower. We love lupine because it fixes nitrogen in the soil as it grows, so it’s actually improving the ground around it while it blooms. Every native patch like this is one less spot for a lawn that doesn’t support life, and one more place for pollinators to thrive. If you want to go deeper on why native plants matter so much, Homegrown National Park is a great resource and an organization we love and support through 1% for the Planet (1% for the Planet).

None of this is new. But it matters.

It’s why we make the choices we do:
– glass and aluminum over plastic
– sourcing from regenerative, organic farms
– protecting pollinators and biodiversity
- no pesticides, heavy metals, or contaminants
- no harmful chemicals commonly found in cosmetics
(parabens, PFAS/forever chemicals, phthalates, sulfates, synthetic fragrance, etc.)

We’re not perfect. But we believe better decisions over time add up.

Thanks for being part of it.

And happy Earth Day. 🌎️
