Our Brand

Derrick Frohne founded Gentle Bees in Texas and the inspiration came from his fiancée Mecca Lazaro. There were a few occasions when he noticed her lips dry and chapped. He asked where her lip balm was and she said that it melted in her car. He searched to find ingredients to make her some lip balm that wouldn’t melt when left in car during the hot weather. After searching online, he found ingredients to make a lip balm that has a high melting point. Beeswax was the best option after searching for a few hours as the base wax. Derrick liked the lip balm so much, he decided to make other natural flavored lip balms. Because of the lip balms, Gentle Bees is now a nationwide brand with customers worldwide.
