Our Journey to a Cruelty Free Eco Friendly Home Products Brand: The Story Behind Butterfly & Bee
About Butterfly & Bee
At Butterfly & Bee, we are committed to being an eco friendly home products brand that prioritizes sustainability and care for our planet.
Millie, our beloved dog, is the embodiment of energy and joy. She lives for running through the grass, playing fetch, and exploring the beautiful outdoors across New England. But during those adventures, we began noticing a growing problem, ticks. Every walk became a risk, not just for Millie, but for us as well.
Everything changed when Millie became seriously ill. After a thorough diagnosis, we learned she had been affected by multiple tick-borne illnesses. It was a wake-up call and the moment that set us on a new path.
From One Dog’s Story to a Safer, Non-Toxic Home
We started researching safer alternatives products that were effective, but free from harsh chemicals and toxins. What we found was overwhelming: many conventional products contained ingredients we weren’t comfortable using around our pets or in our home.
That’s when Butterfly & Bee was born.
We began creating our own eco-friendly, non-toxic, and plant-based products designed to protect our pets, our homes, and our families naturally.
Our first products focused on natural bug repellents to help keep ticks and mosquitoes away. From there, we expanded into a full line of non-toxic cleaning products, natural laundry solutions, and reusable home essentials designed for a healthier, low-waste lifestyle.
Eco-Friendly Products for Everyday Living
Today, Butterfly & Bee offers a growing collection of:
- Natural laundry detergents & refill systems
- Non-toxic cleaning products for home and kitchen
- Reusable home goods like beeswax wraps, cloth napkins, and Swedish dishcloths
- Natural pet care products safe for dogs and families
- Aluminum-free, non-toxic personal care products
Every product is made with simple, effective ingredients — no unnecessary fillers, no harsh chemicals, and always cruelty-free.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that protecting your home should also mean protecting the planet. That’s why we focus on:
- Eco-friendly packaging (recyclable, reusable, and low-waste materials)
- Refill and bulk options to reduce plastic waste
- Small-batch production for quality and care

At Butterfly & Bee, we believe small changes can make a meaningful impact. Whether it’s switching to a natural laundry detergent, choosing reusable home goods, or embracing a low-waste lifestyle, every step matters.
