Excellent skincare goes far deeper than beauty, and our mission is to create fresh, unique, nutrient rich products that bring lasting wellness to families for generations to come.
Ultimately, Lovebee is about family — and we believe that everyone should have access to natural, safe, affordable products that promote healthy, happy and holistic living!

A natural skincare and homecare company was not something my husband Tim and I initially planned. The humble unlabeled products that first appeared in our kitchen were simply for our own home and children. After friends began to use (and repeatedly request) the little handmade batches I was creating for our family however, we knew we were on to something!
So, in June 2015, I began refining my favourite recipes/formulations while Tim designed our branding and packaging. Soon after, we began sharing our handcrafted, natural, small-batch products with the world!
Though the business known as Lovebee Products began to bloom in 2016, its origins trace back to my childhood.
Before Lovebee Products was a business or brand, it was simply “life”. I was born and raised in England where I was immersed in the art and science of wildcrafted botanical concoctions.
With my father being a world-travelling homeopath and my mother a skillful and respected acupuncturist, helping people and solving problems seemed to be both a part of my DNA and a calling I’ve felt compelled to follow! For me, there is no better reward than to know my craft is improving the lives of others.
Using the same meticulously crafted recipes that had been tried and tested by our own family for years, Lovebee Products first appeared at the Ridgeway’s farmers’ market in the spring of 2017. After a very warm reception in Ridgeway, we decided to expand into other markets and events throughout the Niagara region, in addition to starting a small lavender farm of about 50 plants.
As people began to experience our natural handcrafted products, we began to receive a surprising amount of encouraging feedback. Customers we’re loving our products just as much as we were! So, we simply decided to keep going and keep growing, and soon a handful of products developed into over fifty!
Since the debut of our little orange tent in Ridgeway (anyone remember that?!), we’ve since had the honour and pleasure of becoming a staple business at many of the region’s most popular events, such as the Handmade Market, the Marshville Heritage Festival and the Ball’s Falls Thanksgiving Festival.
In 2021 we began to travel beyond our region and soon could be found at some of Canada’s most prestigious shows like the One Of A Kind Show in Toronto. While our branding is no longer bright orange and our displays no longer draped in burlap, the heart and mission on Lovebee remains the same!
In November 2022 Lovebee moved from a small renovated cottage in Ridgeway to a much larger space at 44 Jarvis street in Fort Erie. The building on Jarvis would become a base for both small batch manufacturing and a retail store.
On Saturday, February 25th the Lovebee store celebrated its grand opening and opened it doors to the public with regular hours.
Simply put, Lovebee Products was born out of a desire to help friends and families just like ours. We struggled to find products and brands with the level of transparency we desired. Furthermore, it was extremely difficult to find Canadian made products that were natural, wholesome, effective AND affordable! So — where we saw a great need, we decided to help fill the gap by creating a solution.
Lovebee products contain natural, organic, botanical ingredients from vetted, trusted (often local) suppliers and are lovingly handcrafted in small batches in the Niagara region of Ontario!
Lovebee is currently operated by my husband and I along with a small (yet amazing) team of people (and of course, our little Willow & Eden bees). We are just as passionate as the day we began (perhaps more!) and are dedicated to creating wholesome products for every age and stage of life.
Thank you for choosing Lovebee Products and supporting Canadian artisan businesses!
