Made slowly. With purpose. For a world that blooms.

At Apis & Flos, we believe beauty begins in the natural world.

Founded by a French-Canadian mother and daughter, our skincare is rooted in slow living — guided by the rhythm of the seasons and the healing power of plants.

Each balm is hand-foraged, slow-infused, and crafted in small batches to soothe sensitive skin and reconnect us to the land that sustains us.

Shop

Making something yourself is one thing… but building a business that helps others with their skincare is something completely different. And this weekend, that really hit home for us. 💛

Seeing happy customers holding their salves with pure joy — that’s the kind of validation that keeps us going. Some people tried our balms on their hands, wandered off to look around, and then came back because they couldn’t stop thinking about how good it felt. That means everything.

And the stories we’re hearing already… incredible. A friend told me she’d been struggling with red, cracked skin between her fingers for ages — and after just two uses of "Soleil", her hands felt better than they have all season. 🌞

This is why we do it.
This is why we forage, slow-infuse, hand-pour, paint bags, and show up at markets.
Not just to make something — but to "make a difference".

If you’ve tried Soleil or Étoile, we’d love to hear your story.

Your support helps this little mother–daughter business bloom. 🌿✨💛

We’re back at the @wyenurseryltd Christmas Market this Sunday with our Apis & Flos booth! 🐝💛

Last time, my daughter and I had so much fun meeting everyone, sharing our story, and almost sold out of our botanical balms! 🌸

This weekend, we’re bringing even more Soleil ☀️ and Étoile ✨ — our hand-foraged, slow-infused salves made for sensitive skin and cozy winter days.
Come say hi, try a balm, and feel the love that goes into every tin 💫

We’ll be dancing to the Christmas music again — can’t wait to see you! 🎄

At our first Christmas market with Apis & Flos at @wyenurseryltd , so many of you asked about one of our favourite healing plants: yarrow

This humble wildflower has an incredible history. Yarrow has been used for thousands of years for its powerful healing properties. In fact, Homer’s Iliad tells the story of Achilles using yarrow to treat wounds during the Trojan War, earning it the ancient name Achillea millefolium.

Known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-soothing benefits, yarrow helps calm irritation and support natural skin repair — which is why we slow-infuse it in sunflower oil and include it in our Étoile winter balm

My daughter and I love hiking and hand-foraging yarrow and other healing plants, bringing them home to slowly transform into our botanical balms, made with care for both skin and earth.

Our first market was such a joy, we almost sold out!
We danced to Christmas music, met so many wonderful people, and felt truly connected to our community.

We’re so excited to be back at Wye Nursery this Sunday from 9–3! Come say hi, learn more about these beautiful plants, and experience the ancient healing power of yarrow for yourself.

Apis & Flos — Made slowly, with purpose, for a world that blooms.

Wow — we’re still buzzing from this weekend! 🐝💛

My daughter and I were completely blown away by the response at the Wye Nursery Christmas Market @wyenurseryltd We almost sold out of our two handmade salves — Soleil and Étoile — and our hearts are full.

What made it so special wasn’t just seeing our products go home with so many of you, but witnessing how much love and curiosity people had for what we’re creating. From hiking and hand-foraging local plants and flowers, to slowly infusing them and turning them into nourishing skincare — this journey has been deeply personal.

To share that story alongside my daughter — watching her light up as she talked to people, offered testers, and connected with our community — was truly moving. 💫 She’s learning what it means to build something from the ground up, with care, creativity, and heart.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared kind words, and supported us. You made this experience unforgettable.

✨ Next stop: Noël au Village in Lafontaine on Sunday, December 15th at École Sainte-Croix — we can’t wait to see you there!

This Sunday, November 9th from 9 AM – 3 PM, my daughter and I will be at the Wye Nursery Christmas Market sharing our handmade creations from Apis & Flos 💛

Apis & Flos began as a simple idea in our kitchen — to turn the plants growing around us into something beautiful, healing, and kind to the earth. Each balm starts with hand-foraged botanicals like lavender, yarrow, calendula, and goldenrod, infused slowly in sunflower oil and blended with shea butter and natural beeswax to protect and nourish the skin.

This weekend, we’ll have our seasonal balms:
🌞 Soleil — a rich, comforting blend with lavender and vanilla

✨ Étoile — a shimmery winter balm with peppermint, cedarwood, and orange

What makes this market special is that it’s not just about selling — it’s about learning, creating, and connecting. My daughter is discovering what it means to grow an idea from the ground up — to meet people, share a story, and see how something small (like a balm or a bee) can make the world a little softer.

If you’re in the area, come say hi, try our balms, and share in the joy of local makers. They make perfect stocking stuffers and teacher gifts 🎁

✨ Introducing Étoile — our glowing winter balm ✨
Hand–foraged + small–batch + made with so much heart 💛

This healing salve is crafted with locally foraged yarrow infused in sunflower oil, rich shea butter, and natural beeswax to deeply nourish winter skin. Light, fresh essential oils of peppermint, cedarwood & orange give it a crisp seasonal scent — and a whisper of mica adds the perfect holiday glow. ❄️✨

My daughter and I will be at the Wye Nursery Christmas Market @wyenurseryltd this Sunday starting at 9am with both Étoile & Soleil! 🌟
$20 each or 2 for $30 — perfect stocking stuffers and thoughtful teacher gifts 🎁

We’re excited to share something we dreamed up and created together — growing an idea into something beautiful that connects people with the magic of natural ingredients and the world that blooms around us 🌿💫

Come say hi and shine bright with Étoile! ✨

If you’re reading this, know that it’s never too late to connect with yourself and get lost in the woods to find yourself again. 🌳

I feel grateful to harvest from the forest during my hikes - constantly learning about all that grows around me. Excited to bring this fresh and grounding feeling of the forest in my newest botanical salve Étoile. Coming soon…

✨ This is where I find my light.
In the turning of the seasons, I’m reminded to slow down, to gather what nature offers, and to carry that warmth into the months ahead. 🍂🌞

Fall is about abundance — in harvest, in connection, and in the little rituals that keep us grounded. Sharing Soleil during my recent Women’s Wellness retreat reminded me how powerful it is to bring the healing touch of plants into our self-care routines.

Soleil is my way of keeping a touch of the sun with me — calming, soothing, and full of the wildflowers that bloom where bees thrive. 🌿🐝

👉 Tell me: Where do you find your light this fall?

✨ Some days it feels like I’m juggling it all — motherhood, work, and growing a dream from the ground up. But the truth is, my kids aren’t a distraction from this journey — they’re the reason for it. 💛

They remind me to slow down. To be curious. To trust myself. And most importantly — to never quit, just shift. 🌿

This little business isn’t just about creating natural skincare — it’s about showing them (and myself) what it means to chase a dream with both hands open, even when life feels full and messy.

Here’s to building something beautiful together.

Day into night, these jars quietly transform — lavender, echinacea, and golden blossoms releasing their gifts drop by drop. 🌞🌙

This slow process has taught me patience, presence, and the beauty of caring for skin the way nature intended — gently, intentionally, and with love. 🌿✨

If you’ve ever craved a ritual that feels grounding, soothing, and connected to the earth… this is it. 💛

A monarch rests on echinacea — the same flower infused into Soleil, our healing fall balm. 🧡🌿

Echinacea is more than a skincare ingredient. It’s a pollinator favorite, nourishing butterflies, bees, and the wild ecosystems that sustain us all. That’s why we’re so proud to announce our new partnership with @pollinatorpartnership.ca 🐝✨

Through Project Wingspan, this incredible initiative works to restore and expand habitats for monarchs and other at-risk pollinators across the Great Lakes region. And now, with every balm you purchase, you’re part of that mission too.

🌞 $1 from every tin of Soleil supports Pollinator Partnership Canada and the vital work of protecting pollinators.

Together, we can care for our skin and the wild world we belong to. 💛

🌕✨ Harvest Moon Magic ✨🌕

Last night’s Harvest Moon lit up the sky — the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. Traditionally, it marked a time of gathering crops, giving thanks, and preparing for the colder months ahead.

For me, it’s a reminder to slow down, harvest the beauty of what we’ve been growing, and share it generously — in life, art, and in the healing rituals of Apis & Flos.

Just like the seasons, we’re always in cycles of growth, rest, and renewal. 🍂💛

➡️ Save + share this Harvest Moon blessing
with someone who could use a little light tonight. ✨

The goldenrod reminds me: wild things thrive when left to bloom 🌿💛

Here’s to slowing down, honouring the land, and creating care that protects both skin + pollinators.

I’m thrilled to share that $1 from every Apis & Flos balm will now go directly to @pollinatorpartnership.ca 🐝🌞 Together, we’re protecting the bees, butterflies, and wild spaces that inspire this work.

Echinacea isn’t just a pretty bloom 🌸—it’s a plant with deep roots in healing traditions and a lifeline for pollinators.

By nourishing bees and butterflies, echinacea helps ecosystems thrive. 🐝

In Soleil, we honor this power by slow-infusing echinacea in sunflower oil, unlocking its soothing properties for your skin while staying true to its pollinator spirit. 🌿✨

Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Camille — the hands and heart behind Apis & Flos. I’m an artist, mother of three, and conservation manager living in Tiny, Ontario. My work has always been rooted in care — for my family, for the land, and for the small pollinators that keep our world blooming.

Apis & Flos grew from a simple but powerful moment: being shamed by a neighbour for having dandelions on my lawn. What some see as weeds, I see as medicine, food for pollinators, and symbols of resilience. That moment inspired me to begin crafting botanical balms that honour the plants around us while offering simple, natural care for the skin.

Each balm is infused with hand-foraged botanicals, blended in small batches, and packaged with intention. For me, this is more than skincare — it’s a way of reconnecting with the earth, celebrating seasonal rhythms, and sharing slow, meaningful rituals of care.

Thank you for supporting handmade, Canadian, women-owned business — and for blooming with me.

✨🌼 It’s official — Soleil has launched! 🌼

What started as an idea (after my neighbour publicly shamed me for having dandelions on my lawn!) has grown into something so much bigger — a way to protect pollinators, connect people with the healing medicines of the earth, and share a more natural way of living. 🌿

I’ve been blown away by the response so far — the reviews, the love, and the stories of how Soleil is helping people. 💛 It smells amazing, feels so healing, and truly comes from the heart.

You can now find Soleil in person at @shoprisemarketplace on Main Street in Penetanguishene 🙌 (go check it out if you want to test it yourself!) and of course, anytime on my website (see link in bio) → www.apisandflos.com.

Thank you for supporting this journey — from dandelions in the lawn to healing balms in your hands. 🌞

Something golden is coming… ✨ Inspired by wildflowers, healing traditions, and my French-Canadian roots.

Sunflowers are at the heart of Apis & Flos. 🌻

Their golden faces follow the sun, and their seeds give us a gentle oil that I use to infuse wildflowers like goldenrod, echinacea, and lavender. This nourishing base becomes the foundation of our balms — a blend of skin care and pollinator care, rooted in nature’s rhythms. ✨

As I prepare to launch Soleil, our first seasonal balm, it feels right to begin with the sunflower — a symbol of brightness, resilience, and connection to the earth. 🌞

#apisandflos #naturalskincare #sunflowerlove #wildcraftedbeauty #canadianmade #sunflower #sunfloweroil #naturalwellness

🌞Goldenrod is sunshine you can hold. ✨

Once unfairly blamed for allergies, this wild bloom is actually a gentle healer—soothing dry skin, calming irritation, and wrapping you in the warmth of fall.

Right now, its golden glow is infusing into sunflower oil for our Botanical Salve. Slowly, patiently, it transforms—just like the seasons—into something that nourishes both skin and soul.

💛 Where skin blooms & bees thrive.

Meet calendula—the golden healer in our Fall/Winter Salve. 💛

These sunny petals, now dried and ready to infuse, have been cherished for centuries for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-healing properties. Calendula calms dry, irritated, or winter-worn skin, helps reduce redness, and supports the skin’s natural ability to recover.

In our seasonal salve, calendula joins echinacea, goldenrod, and lavender—a powerful herbal team crafted to:

🌿 Restore moisture
🌿 Ease irritation and chapping
🌿 Protect your skin from cold-weather stress

Every batch is wild-inspired and hand-prepared, starting with jars of flowers like these—carefully dried to preserve their healing power before they’re slowly infused in sunflower oil.

A little sunlight, a little patience, and nature does the rest. 🌞

Meet the heart behind Apis & Flos. 🌸
I’m Camille—a mother of three, artist, and conservationist—on a mission to create gentle, seasonal skincare that celebrates the wild.

It all started with my children. Their sensitive skin and eczema led me to make my first natural balm with dandelions and local beeswax—a simple jar of comfort made with love. Over time, that little jar became Apis & Flos, a collection of handcrafted, pollinator-friendly salves inspired by the seasons and the blooms that support life around us.

The name comes from Latin:
🐝 Apis – bee
🌸 Flos – bloom
A reminder that our well-being is always connected to the rhythms of nature.

Every jar is made with wild-harvested plants like lavender, echinacea, goldenrod, and dandelion—crafted in small batches to soothe sensitive skin and support the world that blooms around us.

From our family to yours, welcome to the world of Apis & Flos.

May these little jars carry the warmth of the fields straight to your hands. 🌿💛

#ApisAndFlos #MotherMade #PollinatorFriendly #SeasonalSkincare #SlowBeauty #WildcraftedSkincare #HealingWithPlants #EcoBeauty #DandelionSalve #LavenderFields #FromFieldToJar

There’s magic in the fields if you slow down enough to see it. 🌸

This week, my daughter ran through the lavender rows, laughter echoing between the blooms. For her, it’s a game. For me, it’s a gentle reminder of why I started Apis & Flos.

These moments are where our salves begin—among the wildflowers and pollinator blooms that soothe, heal, and teach us to live with the land. 🌼💜

All season long, we’ve been gathering lavender, echinacea, goldenrod, and dandelions, hand-harvesting the ingredients that will become the gentle, skin-loving balms we share with you. Made with the same care I give my children, and with the hope that these jars will carry a little piece of this peace into your day.

This is more than skincare.
It’s a celebration of seasons, pollinators, and the beauty of slowing down.

Are you ready to bloom with us? 🌿💛

#ApisAndFlos #SlowBeauty #WildcraftedSkincare #PollinatorFriendly #SeasonalLiving #HerbalSkincare #LavenderFields #HealingWithPlants #FromFieldToJar #EcoBeauty #MotherMade

Fields like this remind me why I started.

🌸Echinacea doesn’t just grow—it stands.
Tall, resilient, and rooted in healing, it’s a symbol of strength and softness at once.

At Apis & Flos, every balm begins with plants like these—harvested with care, infused slowly, and made for sensitive skin that needs gentleness and protection.

Because beauty isn’t something we manufacture—it’s something we remember, restore, and share.

From my hands to yours. 💜

Today in the backyard: making magic ✨

This is echinacea—freshly harvested, gently dried, and now slowly infusing in organic oil. It’s one of the oldest allies in traditional herbal care, and I love how it supports the skin’s natural healing.

This slow, intentional process is what Apis & Flos is all about:
🌿 Honouring the rhythm of the seasons
🌼 Celebrating wild plants like echinacea, goldenrod, and dandelion
🧴 Creating healing salves for sensitive skin—without compromising the earth

Every jar starts here—by hand, by heart. 💛
