Jill Saunders grew up in England in a family where natural herbal remedies were part of everyday life.
As an eczema sufferer with extremely dry, sensitive skin, Jill tried every commercial skincare product to alleviate the problem. After experiencing the damage and learning about the harmful effects of petrochemical mineral oils and their synthetic derivatives present in most skincare products, 15 years ago, Jill returned to her grandmother's old remedies, truly natural raw ingredients and 2000 year old formulae to make her own skin-friendly range of products.
Beauty and the bees was born!
While researching ancient herb and honey recipes in England Jill consulted manuscripts in the Bodleian Library.
Jill emigrated to Tasmania, Australia in 1992 to seek out the island's abundant and natural ingredients, like the aromatic Leatherwood honey, which is unique to Tasmania.
Tasmania's cool climate also meant that potent, certified, organic herbs would play a key role in the Beauty and the bees' range.
In 1993 Jill began supplying Beauty and the bees products by direct mail, opening the first retail Beauty and the bees fresh skincare deli in the historic waterfront village, Bellerive, in early 1997.
In 1999, using the World Wide Web, Beauty and the bees became available worldwide.
