Meet the Founder

Meet Shelissa Kearney, Founder of Shelissa Organics

For over 25 years, Shelissa Kearney has been a pioneer in clean beauty—long before "organic" became a buzzword. What started as a personal search for something pure has blossomed into a beloved brand trusted by those who care about what goes on their lips and into the world.

A former international model turned entrepreneur and children's book author, Shelissa knows that true beauty comes from nature, not a lab. In 1999, armed with her own seed money and a vision for something better, she created the evergreen lip balm formula that remains unchanged today—because when something is truly pure and effective, it doesn't need to be reinvented.

Rooted in childhood memories of harvesting honey and beeswax on a Chesapeake Bay farm, Shelissa Organics represents more than skincare. It's a commitment to USDA Certified Organic ingredients, reef-safe formulations, and renewable wind power—because beauty should never compromise the earth.

Add a little organic to your day. Say goodbye to dry lips and hello to a beautiful world.
