Meant To Bee
My wife and I are looking for funding for our small line of health and beauty products containing organic ingredients and local beeswax. We hope that we can use our product to help bring awareness to the benefits of bees and to create a line of products with the most minimal of ingredients.
I am reCently retired from the United States Military and my wife and I have finally moved home with our two young boys. My wife is working on becoming a certified Herbalist. We want our children to see that with hard work and family we can achieve our dreams.
The money:
Everyone always wonders where their money is going. The first $1000 will go to trademarking the brand and buying more ingredients to create more product. So far we have created less than 100 tubes of Meant To Bee lip balm in 3 flavors. The first money will go to getting more ingredients for the Meant to Bee Lip Balm.
The second $1000 will go creating a new product and so will every subsequent $1000 we earn. The first product added will be an organic, beeswax based lotion followed by a diaper cream. The forth and fifth go to making different creams for baby and pregnant moms. We will use community feedback to decide exactly what we make after the diaper cream.
The Impact
We know there are products out there that already claim to use beeswax for many products. The problem with these products is that the beeswax isn't local and therefore most of the health benefits are negated. They also use huge bee farms that don't nuture the natural bee population. We only use beeswax from our local area and ensure that the bee population is the most important part of our business.
Other Ways You Can Help
Even if you can't contribute money, spreading the word about the health benefits of bees will help us tremendously. Be share our project and do some research on what changes you can make in your local area to help nuture the bees.
