More coffee sustainability in action! Coffee Flour is solving the issue of discarded fruit which surrounds the coffee bean and is often discarded into rivers or mound on soil. The accumulation of this waste, although a biodegradable material, causes disruption in the nutrient cycles of these ecosystems. Bee Balm worked to reduce coffee waste with the Shop Bike Coffee Scrub and we love the growing amount of initiatives! There are many ways.... do you have any ideas? ... http://www.coffeeflour.com/

Hey folks! The Bee Balm team has had a busy year which just keeps getting busier! For this reason we have decided to take a leave from creating product while we explore other passions. Here is a photo from an exhibition for small-medium enterprise in UlaanBaatar with Spirit of Nature Mongolia , we exchanged lip balms and chatted about ingredient sourcing! Do not fret! We had a chance to work in small batches this summer for Shopbike Coffee Roasters and Wonky Frog Studi...o if you would like to stock up for the fall & winter! We will continue to share related initiatives and blog posts through Instagram and Facebook. Thank you all for your ongoing support, much love & keep on buzzing! #naturalskincare #beebalmbayfield #SME #lipbalm See more
