Bee Balm is a mint-family wildflower native to North America, where it plays an important role as a pollen source for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds and has been used medicinally for immune system support for time immemorial.

At Soul Fire Farm, we grow bee balm as part of the medicinal and sacred herb understory of our jaden lakou ("courtyard garden" in Haitian Kreyòl) where we uplift the brilliance of planting fruit and nut trees and perennial herbs together on agroforestry terraces bound by soil, compost, wood chips, woven branches, and fungal mycelia.

We honor bee balm as a beloved medicine of the Mohican people, original stewards of the land where Soul Fire Farm is located, who were forced westward by Settler colonialism to what is now the Stockbridge Munsee Mohican reservation in Wisconsin. Mohican healer Misty Cook notes in the book Medicine Generations that "#6 is the most commonly used Medicine amongst our people still today. Most everyone I talked to about from our tribe mentioned #6." She notes that they call bee balm "#6" because "it’s that commonly used."

Bee balm, also known as Wild Bergamot, grows wild on parts of the reservation and is steeped as tea for colds, flu, and pain relief. Soul Fire Farm will be donating their proceeds of seed sales to support seed keeping and gardening projects of the Stockbridge Munsee Mohican Nation, members of which hope to visit their ancestral lands and plant seeds at Soul Fire Farm soon.

Also known as Monarda.

Planting / harvesting notes

Sow 6-8 weeks before last frost in moist potting soil. Transplant in the garden 12-18" apart in sun or partial shade.

Seed keeping notes

Allow seedheads to dry on the plant. Cut the stalks below the lowest seed clusters. If necessary, dry the seedheads further in the sun on a sheet or table away from moisture and precipitation. When fully dry, whack the seedheads in a bucket, allowing the ripest seed to fall. Sift through strainers to remove the largest chaff, and then winnow off the lighter chaff with your breath, a fan, or the wind.

Super impressed by this!
Love this sunscreen and will be reordering it. It’s sheer, light, invisible, gives me the protection I need for my middle aged skin and I can swear my complexion has gotten better since I started using it. I’m super impressed how it’s comparable to more expensive brands in quality without the high price tag. It’s made me start looking into other skin products I can purchase from the Amazon brand.

How is this SO good?
I'm a sunscreen enthusiast. I wear sunscreen every day, and I know how hard it is to find one that is actually pleasant to use. It goes on like a white paste but it quickly blends in to the skin and becomes invisible. There is NO white cast after you rub it in. The initial white color makes it really easy to see where you have applied it. The lotion is very moisturizing but it's also fairly lightweight feeling, and isn't greasy. My skin is usually on the dry side. The smell is nice and neutral, some people might say that it has a bit of a "sunscreen" smell. But the smell is pretty faint and it doesn't linger. I find it to be pleasant, personally. Additionally, I have used this in the water and I find it to offer excellent water resistance even though it doesn't form a heavy-feeling layer on the skin. This is particularly impressive to me. This sunscreen will definitely be a go-to for beach days. It's great for face and body! The one caveat is that it tastes terrible if you get it in your mouth. So I definitely do not recommend eating it, lol. You might have this issue if you're particularly sweaty and the sweat drips down your face. In my experience many sunscreens do this, so I don't consider it to be a big deal. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for cost-effective and lightweight sun protection. It's great on face and body.

Good product
It’s very comparable to the Neutrogena version. Its light on my face, does not leave a white cast, and doesn’t break me out. The price point is excellent compared to the name brand one. I go walking almost everyday and live in a sunny and hot area where the climate is hot all year round. I haven’t gotten burnt since wearing this sunscreen. Definitely recommend *UPDATE* This sunscreen gave me acne. I rarely breakout and I now have five pimples on my face. I do not recommend!!!

Burns My Eyes
If your eyes have a sensitivity to sunscreen, they may have a sensitivity to this one. This product made my eyes burn for two days, with multiple washings. I have had problems with La Roche Posay sunscreen — if that is a helpful association. It has dimethicone —a silicone— in it (which might be the irritant). Its common in beauty products but some people avoid it for various reasons. If you have no sensitivities and don’t mind the silicone, then it could be an acceptable option for the value. It went on smooth and light, left no cast, and had a very mild scent. I will use it on my limbs, but I can’t use this on my face.

WORKS! LIGHT! EASY TO APPLY AND USE!
Took and trip and knew I would be out in the sun. I know this is for the face, but I used on my arms, legs and face. It is light and easy to apply. Not sticky and heavy as some sunblocks can be. I am very pleased with this purchase/find, as it works well and was a fabulous price for this tube.
