Our Story

I’m Autumn, the heart and hands behind Meli Balm—an alchemist, a beekeeper, and a woman who’s been creating skincare from the spirit of the hive since 2011.

What began as Hawaii Bee Co., born from my deep connection to the land, the bees, and the wisdom of nature, has grown into a full expression of love, healing, and devotion through Meli Brew and now, Meli Balm. Every jar, balm, and butter I create is a reflection of that journey—a fusion of science and soul, chemistry and ceremony.

As The Alchemist Beekeeper, I blend ancient beekeeping traditions with a modern understanding of skincare chemistry, infusing every product with botanicals, minerals, and the sacred gifts of the hive. My mission has always been simple: to protect and nourish skin naturally—through sun, salt, age, and change—while honoring the harmony between humans and honeybees.

Each product is handcrafted in small batches using wildcrafted herbs, slow infusions, and raw Hawaiian ingredients. These formulas are designed not only to nourish your skin, but to carry the energy of Hawaii’s land and light. My creations are made with intention and integrity, offering you radiant skin and a return to nature’s rhythm.

For over a decade, I’ve poured my heart into this work, growing from a small local brand into something far deeper—an invitation to reconnect with yourself and the earth.

Thank you for being here. I hope you feel the mana in everything I make.
