Skin care that sinks in, works hard, and comes from an actual farm in Vermont.

25+ years of formulation. Organic ingredients with a purpose. Zero fillers, zero mystery ingredients — just the good stuff your skin has been waiting for.

Face Cream with Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is a natural retinol derived from the Babchi plant in India — gentle enough to use morning and evening, effective enough to actually make a difference. Over time it helps smooth skin, reduce fine lines, and calm redness and dark spots.

This cream is also infused with organic blueberry leaves harvested right here at the farm every September, when they turn gorgeous shades of red, orange, and purple. Those leaves contain more antioxidants than the blueberries themselves. We infuse them into organic sesame oil and organic vegetable glycerin, and the result is something we're really proud of.

One small amount goes a long way — start with less than you think you need!

A little about where our skin care comes from

Meadow Bee Skin Care is made by Wendy Mackenzie at Everlasting Herb Farm in Peacham, Vermont — a working farm and ecological haven where native plants grow wild, milkweed is sacred, and pollinators are like pets.

Wendy has been handcrafting plant-based body care since 2003. Meadow Bee deodorant itself was born in 2020, inspired by a neighbor who'd had a stroke and could no longer use a traditional plastic deodorant applicator. She asked Wendy if she could make her something she could apply with her hands. Two years and many batches later, she had it.

2% of every Meadow Bee purchase goes directly to the Vermont Center for Ecostudies to support bee research, monitoring, and conservation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes — and we know that's exactly what every natural deodorant brand claims. The difference is that thousands of customers, including athletes, hikers, gardeners, travelers, and people who've tried and failed with a dozen other natural options, keep coming back and saying the same thing: this one actually works. We'd love for you to try it and tell us what you think.

  • Baking soda is common in natural deodorants because it's effective at neutralizing odor. The problem is it's also highly alkaline, which irritates the skin of many people — causing rashes, redness, and discomfort. Meadow Bee uses zinc ricinoleate and zinc oxide instead, which neutralize odor without disrupting your skin's natural pH.

  • Yes. Meadow Bee was specifically formulated without the ingredients most commonly responsible for skin irritation — no baking soda, no aluminum, no synthetic fragrances, no parabens. Many of our most loyal customers came to us after years of reactions to other deodorants, including other natural ones.

  • Absolutely. Meadow Bee Deodorant works beautifully on feet, skin folds, and under the breasts. Many customers use it proactively under each breast daily to prevent bra chafe and under-boob sweat — with great results.

  • Yes to both.

  • Yes. Both the solid bar and the balm come in reusable metal tins with no plastic components. The tins are recyclable and many customers repurpose them for everything from travel containers to jewelry holders.

  • Yes! We'd love that. Visit our Wholesale page to get in touch.

  • No. Meadow Bee will not leave white marks, streaks, or stains on your clothing — including dark fabrics. This is one of the most common things customers mention in reviews.

  • The solid bar lasts 4+ months with daily use. The balm lasts 5+ months with daily use. Both have a 2-year shelf life, so it's worth stocking up.

  • Swipe the rounded edge directly onto completely dry skin — 5 to 7 times per underarm. Massage any residue into your skin with your fingers. That's it.

  • Rub one fingertip on the surface of the balm to melt a small amount onto your finger. Massage into dry skin for 5 to 7 seconds until fully absorbed. Rub any extra into your hands.

  • Cosmetic label requirements changed in 2022. We now use the word "perfume" on our ingredient lists to comply with FDA regulations through the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA). Every Meadow Bee product is scented exclusively with plant-based essential oils — always. Never synthetic fragrance.

  • Currently, we ship within the USA. Shipping is $5 flat, with free shipping on orders over $75. Most orders go out within 2 days.

  • Every product is handmade in small batches at Everlasting Herb Farm in Peacham, Vermont.
