Ingredients - Pure, Organic, Non-GMO

Bear Hill products are all natural, vegan and Non-GMO, using Food-Grade ingredients wherever possible.  Some of our ingredients are organic. Some are wildcrafted or foraged. Others come from small farmers/growers who practice pesticide-free farming though they may not yet have the organic certification. We still believe in their integrity. 

Why 'Food-Grade' & Non-GMO ingredients?
This is SO important  for all products, but especially for Lip Balms
Since our skin quickly absorbs everything we apply, we feel it's best to use only clean, wholesome ingredients for body care.

ARROWROOT
We use pure, food-grade arrowroot powder in all of body powders. Traditionally used for its silky texture and soothing, skin loving nature.

NO BEESWAX

We don't use beeswax in any of our products. Bees are protected on our land (that is part of the pollinator pathway in our area) and we help nourish them with plants and flowers they love. We are truly vegan and use no animal products. Instead, we use candelilla wax, which is plant-based and responsibly sourced.

BENTONITE
Natural powdered mineral (similar to green or white clay) commonly found in starch-free personal products.

BLACK WALNUT HULL
Used by Herbalists for its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial properties. We use Black Walnut Hull powder in our "Seriously Natural" foot powders.

CALENDULA FLOWER
Gorgeous orange flower blossom and is often mistaken for marigold. Blooms in Summer. Well known in herbal circles for its healing nature.

CANDELILLA WAX
Plant-based wax (from the candelilla shrub) used in Lip Balms, Body Balms and Salves. This provides 'body' in our Vegan Formulations.

COCONUT OIL

Extra Virgin Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil in our body care and sun care formulas. Smells heavenly. Great for skin and hair. We can't get enough of it!

GREEN CLAY
French Green Clay - Used in facial masks and spa products that are kind to your skin while drawing out toxins.

JOJOBA OIL
Jojoba is actually a liquid plant wax and is so similar to our own skin's sebum. It's goes on smooth, moisturizes without an oily feel & is the perfect base for so many lotions, creams & sun tanning oils. We use organic and pesticide-free jojoba.

KAOLIN CLAY
This is USA Kaolin clay, with superior softness and similar properties to green clay. The gentlest of natural clays.

MYRRH
Timeless Myrrh. The resin or 'gum' of this small desert tree has been used for centuries in healing and wellness. Found in our talc-free foot powders.

PEPPERMINT ESSENTIAL OIL

Lotions containing water must be preserved to prevent spoilage or mold. The broad spectrum, all natural preservative system we use is GMO-free and includes a blend of probiotic antimicrobial compounds from beets, aspen bark and elderberry.
