Our Promise

Soft skin. Gentle formulas. Everyday luxury powered by Pili Pulp Oil and honey.

Founding

PiliBee began with a simple belief: everyday skin care should feel comforting, intentional, and a little luxurious.

After discovering the silky, conditioning feel of Pili Pulp Oil, we saw an opportunity to create body care that felt different from ordinary soap and lotion: softer, creamier, more nourishing, and more sensorial. We paired this rare golden oil with honey, butters, and plant-based ingredients to craft small-batch products that cleanse, soften, and comfort the skin without making daily care feel complicated.

Made in Fairfax, Virginia, PiliBee creates spa-like body care for people who want products that feel beautiful, work gently, and turn simple routines into moments of care.

Golden care for softer skin.

About Us

Growing up I used Cocoa and Shea Butter all the time, unfortunately I had a bad reaction to a retail version I purchased at a store in 2020, I could not figure out why my skin suddenly started reacting negatively to a product I had used for so long, after going to the derm I learned i had contact dermatitis which irritated my mild eczema. I started buying my own butters and oils to learn more about the ingredients and make my own skincare rituals informed. This lead me to form a clean skincare brand.

Pili Oil Benefits at a Glance

Vitamin E

The moisture keeper: Vitamin E helps strengthen the skin’s barrier, so water stays in longer and skin feels softer, bouncier, and less rough. - Medical News Today

Carotenoids

Carotenoids are the natural pigments (often yellow–orange) that also act as antioxidants. In skin, they help neutralize reactive oxygen species generated by UV and pollution before these can damage collagen, elastin, and membrane lipids. - NewBeauty

Oleic Fatty Acids

Gives oils a rich, cushiony, nourishing skin feel. It helps oils spread smoothly and can make dry skin feel more comfortable. - Pub Med

Palmitic Fatty Acid

One of the major fatty acids naturally present in skin lipids, so it helps replenish the “mortar” between skin cells. It boosts viscosity, creaminess, and gives more occlusive, protective feel. - JAAD.org

Extracting Pili Oil

Harvasted Pili Nuts

After harvesting, farmers in the Philippines soak Pili Nut husks in water for at least 3 days to soften the pulp and extract its oil.

Composition of Pili Nut

After Pili Nuts are soaked, and the pulp removed, the nuts are set aside and the pulp is hand squeezed in the water to extract its oils.

Extracting Pili Nut

This water is left to rest for hours and the top layer of oil scooped off and then boiled to evaporate remaining water content before bottling.
