At the heart of CraxWax is a mission to nurture skin, the planet, and community—with bees buzzing at the center of it all. Behind this groovy, golden goodness stands a queen bee in her own right: Veronica Padgett, the visionary founder of CraxWax and the sweet force behind Emerald Hive & Honey Co.

Veronica’s days begin and end in the hum of hives. As a passionate beekeeper, she tends to colonies for local farmers, private families, and her own apiary, ensuring each bee thrives in harmony with nature. With years of experience and a commitment to ethical care, she’s more than a honey harvester—she’s a steward of the ecosystem and a mentor in the art of sustainable living.

Her hands—busy with honey, beeswax, balm, and botanical blends—craft every CraxWax product with love and purpose. Inspired by the natural beauty of self-care and the buzz of backyard biodiversity, Veronica merges her bee knowledge with natural skincare know-how, making CraxWax a celebration of inclusivity, nourishment, and environmental devotion.

So when you open a tin of balm or glide on a gloss, you're not just pampering your skin—you're joining our mission to protect pollinators, uplift local communities, and make sustainability the bee's knees!

Welcome to the hive!
