Five Vitamins, One Jar
Eighteen months to get this right. Test batches in Owings Mills. Friends trying different versions. More test batches. People with sensitive skin emailing us asking when it would be ready. We finally landed on a formula that worked—not just for normal skin, but for the people who can't use most face creams without breaking out in itchy red patches.
Five vitamins: A, B, C, D, E. Not because it sounds good on a label, but because we wanted something that actually did more than just sit on top of your skin. Light citrus scent in the morning—the kind that wakes you up without smelling like cleaning products. Absorbs fast enough that you're not standing in front of the mirror waiting to put on sunscreen.
What Makes Our Vitamin Bee® Day Cream Special?
- Five vitamins in one formula: Vitamins A (retinyl palmitate), B (pantothenic acid), C (ascorbyl palmitate), D (cholecalciferol), and E (tocopheryl acetate) — all in a single lightweight facial cream formulated for daily morning use.
- Cupuacu seed butter and apricot kernel oil: Cupuacu is pressed from the seeds of an Amazonian tree related to cacao — dense in the jar, absorbs quickly on skin. Apricot kernel oil is lightweight and absorbs without leaving shine. Combined with rosehip seed oil, the base keeps the formula from sitting on the surface.
- Citrus essential oils: Smells like fresh orange peel, not a candle or cleaning product. Present at application, absorbed and settled by the time sunscreen goes on.
- Plant-based, no parabens, no sulfates: Eighteen months of test batches — dry skin, oily skin, combination, sensitive — before the formula was finalized. No synthetic fragrance.
- Small batch, Owings Mills: Made by hand in our Maryland facility in a 1oz glass jar. Every batch is checked for scent and texture before it ships.
One jar fits in a travel bag — stock up if you use it daily.
How to Use: Wash your face and pat dry, leaving skin slightly damp. Warm a dime-sized amount between your palms and press into face and neck, starting at the cheeks and working outward. Give it thirty seconds to absorb before applying sunscreen or makeup. Use within six months of opening and store away from heat and direct sunlight. External use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
