Bud & Bee is a small boutique soap company in the Panhandle of Florida. We make all our soaps in small batches by hand with the very best natural ingredients.
We began experimenting with soap in 2014. What began as a fun craft project quickly became a passion, and Bud & Bee became a business in 2016. We’ve made many hundreds of small, artisan batches of soap, comprising thousands upon thousands of bars. Along the way, we’ve experimented with every aspect of the recipes, from the base formula to colors, additives, fragrances, and methods.
Why Bud & Bee?
Each flower bud, unique in color, pattern, and fragrance, attracts bees to the promise of sweet nectar. We too offer color, pattern, and fragrance to buzz about our soap’s pure luxury.
Above are some of the many colorants we use in our soaps!

Buzz
One of the things we love about soaping is that there is always more to learn! Each recipe, each fragrance, each colorant behaves slightly differently, and so every batch of soap is a new experiment. While we have several base recipes we love, our selection of scents, colors, and designs is constantly evolving.
Here at Bud & Bee we need all the options! We couldn’t buy a wire cutter that was just right for us. So my sweet husband designed and crafted one with the flexibility we want.
Like honey bees, we at Bud & Bee are attracted to color, pattern, and fragrance. In bloom, even the humble dandelion becomes lovely!
We have several tried and true formulas, such as our luxury shea butter body bars, but we also love to experiment! Our product line is ever changing. Our selection includes numerous fresh, new soap recipes created in one of a kind small batches. Once a batch is made we most likely won’t make one just like it again. Unless, of course, you want us to!
We make large 7 ounce soap on a rope, round bars, 2 ounce guest or travel bars and specialty shapes. Clays, pumice, walnut hulls, citrus peels, baby food and purees, fragrances, essential oils, flower petals. If it can be used in soap, we have used it or will use it to enhance our soap’s color, pattern, and fragrance!
With endless combinations of formulas, colors, additives, fragrances and methods, we get a buzz making soap!
