Our Story
Created out of necessity and love.
Bee Well began with one family, one persistent problem, and the determination to build a more breathable way to keep topical care where it belongs.
The problem was personal.
Andrew Bernett is a chemist. He built jet engines at General Electric, worked on locomotives, and contributed to heart-valve research. None of that prepared him to watch his wife — a board-certified dermatologist — suffer through a severe case of hand eczema that nothing in her own field could calm. Daily cracking. Bleeding. Weeks without a full night's sleep.
One evening, working with candle wax, Andrew noticed the residue left his hands soft. He pulled beeswax from the garage — the same material he'd once used to hold bolts in place during engine assembly — infused it into fabric, and asked his wife to wear it over her cream at night.
Her hands cleared in days, not weeks.
That fabric became Bee Well: a patented cotton-blend that holds your topical against your skin while still letting it breathe. Andrew runs the chemistry. His wife, Dr. Courtney Bernett, DO, FAAD, keeps the science honest — every product is created with a board-certified dermatologist who also happens to be the reason it exists.
