Natural Skincare from the Beehive

Hi Hunnies,

I haven’t always strived to put the time and effort into selecting quality, natural products when it comes to skincare (shocker, I know!). That being said, for the past 3 years I’ve become more and more concerned with the ingredients in, well, everything!

My general rule of thumb is that if I don’t recognize it, I don’t think I should be included in the ingredients.

Since pursuing skincare with natural ingredients, I’ve come to realize that the quality products are out there, they can just be hard to find. And then I thought, wait a minute, I have the base for natural skincare right at my fingertips: the beehive.

There’s a long history of the use of honey & beeswax for skincare (looking at you Cleopatra), because honey is antibacterial, and pulls moisture to the skin to nourish. Beeswax is used to seal that moisture in, and provide a protective layer against harsh environmental factors. This dynamic duo becomes the perfect base for all kinds of amazing creations.

My latest creation? A line of hand balms that are silky smooth, and last all day (even after you wash up!)

Talk about long lasting moisture!

I've taken honey & beeswax, gently melted it down, and add a whole bunch of good stuff to create our line of Beeswax Balms.

We have your all purpose Oh, Honey Moisturizing Balm, crafted with natural oils like coconut & almond.

Then we created the Lavender Dreamin’ Balm, designed to soothe and calm with hints of Lavender and Bergamot Extract.

Our newest addition to the collection is our Power Walk Cooling Foot Balm, created to relieve dry, hot, & achy feet with the power-combo of jojoba oil & cocoa butter. This one is particular has become our end of the day relief after having been on our feet, wearing boots, for 9+ hours.

Natural skincare should be easy to find and easy to use, and our balms make it so. Use these in place of your normal moisturizer routine & tell us what you think!
