Susan Beckman
WHS Class of 1975
Founded in 1986 by Weiser native Susan Beckman, Camille Beckman has grown to a nationally recognized manufacturer of high-quality personal care products. Deeply rooted in small town values and craftsmanship, the corporation is built on a foundation of quality, sustainability and community. From its humble beginnings, Camille Beckman now occupies a large-scale production facility in Eagle, Idaho, where products are handcrafted using traditional methods. The flagship glycerin hand therapy line has earned a loyal customer base across the United States and beyond.
Beyond her business success, Susan exemplifies what it means to give back. The Camille Beckman Foundation, established in 1995, reflects a deep and ongoing commitment to philanthropy. The foundation supports disadvantaged individuals, improves public health, and strengthens communities through grants benefitting children, the elderly and those facing hardship. In recent years, it has distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to nonprofit organizations, with a strong emphasis on Idaho communities.
Together, the company and foundation demonstrate a powerful model of local success paired with meaningful impacts. Through the foundation, Susan has supported initiatives such as food security, youth development and community health services, including partnerships with organizations such as the Idaho Foodbank. While prioritizing her home state, Susan’s giving extends beyond Idaho’s borders, reinforcing a legacy of service founded on her roots.
Equally notable is the company’s commitment to its workforce and local economy. As a woman-owned, family-operated business, Camille Beckman has created long-term employment opportunities and fostered a culture that values people, sustainability and community connection. Its environmentally conscious practices and support for local retail networks further highlight leadership in responsible business.
Susan Beckman represents the best of Weiser High School alumni success – combining entrepreneurial vision, sustained excellence and a genuine dedication to improving lives.
