Crafting Natural Luxury with Scientific Precision
I founded Jean Bee Apothecary to bridge the gap between rigorous science and traditional herbalism. Every small batch represents my commitment to sustainable practices, therapeutic-grade ingredients, and the artisanal craft that mass production has forgotten.
Jean Byrd
Founder & Formulator
Hi!
I’m Jean — herbalist, beekeeper, and founder of Jean Bee Apothecary. With a background in chemical engineering and a lifelong passion for plant-based wellness, I bring both scientific insight and herbal wisdom to every product I create. I grow many of the herbs used in my formulations on my property in Alexandria and on my family’s farm in Southside Virginia, and I use beeswax and honey from my own hives. My work is deeply rooted in the rhythms of nature, but guided by a clear understanding of ingredient function, formulation chemistry, and skin health. Every product is made with intention, integrity, and the belief that self-care should be both natural and effective.

We craft each product in small batches using herb-infused oils, beeswax from our own hives, and botanicals grown on our Virginia gardens and farm. Every ingredient is chosen for its purpose—rooted in traditional herbalism and backed by a deep understanding of formulation chemistry. From nourishing serums and soothing teas to essential oils and seasonal candles, Jean Bee Apothecary offers natural goods that are as effective as they are beautiful.
