The Queen Bee has made its commitment to sustainability official through pledge membership in the Green Spa Network, the only spa industry resource devoted to bringing greening and sustainability to the health, wellness and beauty community.

Why should you choose a green spa?

Green spas are naturally healthy - By limiting toxins in their skin care products and in their spa’s environment, green spas provide a healthier experience.

Green spas are more relaxing - By putting aside the stressors of modern life – including noise, pollution, toxins and waste – green spas are able to offer a more balanced and relaxing experience.

Green spa treatments are more effective - Synthetically derived skincare products may produce quick results, but they might also cause damage. Natural treatments are gentler and help ensure long-term health and beauty.

Green spas put the body in harmony with nature - Green spas are attuned to the rhythms of nature as well as the rhythms of the human body. When nature and body are in harmony humans feel healthier, stronger and more attractive.*
