Beauty and the Bee has always been a part of the Dutchman's Gold family. As founders John and Annie Van Alten built their honey business while raising five growing children, they came to realize that the beehive offers so much more. 

While John busily tended to the beehives, Annie carefully handcrafted skin healing recipes in the family kitchen using raw honey, beeswax and royal jelly, selling her potions locally and at farmer's markets.

We've since outgrown the family kitchen but continue to offer baby-safe, natural skin care products, fully inspired by Annie's vision of 'wellness from the hive.'
