✨ Meet the Maker: Perk's Pollinators ✨
Every product has a story, and this one begins with the humble honeybee. 🐝
When Paty Hermosillo-Perkins started keeping bees in 2008, she was captivated by their beauty, teamwork, and the incredible role they played in helping her family garden flourish. What began as a fascination with honey soon grew into a passion for another remarkable gift from the hive: beeswax.
Today, Paty handcrafts nourishing skincare products using pure beeswax sourced from local Petaluma beekeepers whose hives are never treated with chemicals.
After a rewarding career as a bilingual educator, Paty now spends her days enjoying her grandchildren, gardening, and creating products inspired by one of nature's hardest workers.
💛 Stop by our Santa Rosa location to discover Perk's Pollinators and experience the natural goodness of beeswax for yourself.
