From Our Founder

Lilly Be's journey is a story of growth and realization. As a teenager, my mother introduced me to the world of aromatherapy and I delved into its intricacies, crafting blends and concoctions for wellness and beauty. Despite my passion, the thought of pursuing aromatherapy as a major in college was met with discouragement, leading me to pursue a career in education instead.

But the desire to explore wellness through nature remained with me throughout those years. I became a Certified Clinical Master Aromatherapist, with a dream of starting a business always in the back of my mind. However, it wasn't until I became a mother and also witnessed my father's battle with cancer that I truly grasped the preciousness of life, the need to embrace every moment, and take a chance.

With the traditional 9-5 work routine no longer aligning with my priorities, I became a stay-at-home mom, supplementing our income through selling my homemade products at local farmer's markets. I quickly realized the increasing demand for high-quality, organic beauty products—a field I had been well-versed in for years. Guided by intuition, I pushed past fear and listened to the needs of my customers. I nurtured my brand, built its foundation...and with that, Lilly Be was born.

Today, we have undergone a complete brand refresh to authentically capture the transformative benefits our products have on both mind and body. Each product name begins with "BE," symbolizing the essence of "being" and the journey of self-discovery. For me, this connection with nature signifies the harmonious unity of the mind and body.

I am so grateful to be doing what I do—to work with organic elements from nature and bring happiness and health to people's lives. Lilly Be is not just about skincare; it is a catalyst for embracing our true selves and cultivating a state of well-being.

The Journey

1998: The Beginning

Asked my college counselor if I could be an Aromatherapist but quickly denied and told that was not a profession or a program offered at the school. Became a high school English teacher with a double masters. Made moves into the administration field but couldn't shake my love for aromatherapy.

The Journey

The Early Years

Found an accredited school through naha.org. Became a Certified Clinical Master Aromatherapist is 2008. Made products for family, friends, and colleagues at work. Was asked to present an educational best practice to the school district and suggested lavender satchels under their pillows for self care.

The Journey

Lilly Be Goes To Market

Went to a local niche, organic market with handwritten labels and four product offerings. Sold out our first day. Continued to show up every weekend, rain or shine. Realized the world was ready for organic care and aromatherapy. Learned how to start a beauty and wellness business. Finally resigned from the school system and went all in.

The Journey

Where We Are Now

Lilly Be is proud to be locally grown and we continue to find inspiration on the journey. We're not just about skincare; we aim to be a catalyst for embracing our true selves and cultivating a state of well-being.
