A Pediatrician's Solution
Zarbee's was founded in 2008 by Dr. Zak Zarbock, a pediatrician based in Draper, Utah, after the FDA recommended against using over-the-counter cough and cold medications in children under two years old due to safety concerns and limited evidence of efficacy. Dr. Zarbock developed a honey-based formula as a natural alternative, drawing on research showing that dark honey has demonstrated soothing effects on irritated throat tissue and cough suppression in children.
The brand launched initially through word of mouth among parents and pediatric healthcare providers before scaling to national retail distribution. The name combines the founder's last name with 'bee,' a reference to the honey that is central to the product's formulation.
Natural Ingredients, Pediatrician-Formulated
Zarbee's products are drug-free, alcohol-free, dye-free, and made without artificial sweeteners — a formulation philosophy that specifically addresses what parents of young children are trying to avoid. The nighttime formula adds melatonin to support sleep during illness; the immune formula adds zinc and vitamins; the baby formula substitutes organic agave for honey (honey is not recommended for infants under one year).
The dark honey used in the children's formulas is selected for its demonstrated soothing properties rather than as a generic sweetener. Products are pediatrician-recommended, meaning practicing pediatricians have endorsed the formulations for use with their patients — a market signal that carries weight with parents who have been advised to avoid conventional cold medications for young children.
Made in the USA
Zarbee's products are manufactured in the United States with domestic and imported ingredients. The company is headquartered in Draper, Utah, and maintains the formulation and quality standards established by the pediatrician founder following the brand's acquisition by Johnson & Johnson Consumer in 2018.
The brand's growth from a Utah pediatrician's side project to one of the most recognized children's health brands in the country reflects a genuine market need that conventional pharmaceutical companies were not positioned to serve. Parents seeking alternatives to drug-based remedies for common childhood illnesses found in Zarbee's a trusted name backed by a medical credential and a transparent ingredient philosophy.
