At Honey Girl Organics, we believe the power of our products lies in the 3 star ingredients that nourish, hydrate, and protect your skin! These star ingredients, used in most formulations, are honey, beeswax, and extra virgin olive oil. These building blocks form the foundation of our skincare products for good reason. They each have remarkable benefits for the skin and are organic, natural, and safe to use.
If glowing, healthy skin the natural way is something you treasure, these ingredients must become part of your daily skincare routine!
Let’s dive into these star ingredients, explore their importance in the Honey Girl Organics brand, their benefits for your skin, and why you’ll love them as much as we do!
Honey
Honey has been utilized, adored, and respected as a treasured ingredient for centuries; it’s a powerhouse of natural healing properties. One of the reasons we love honey for skincare is its role as a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment and locks it into the skin. Honey has also been used for centuries to heal wounds and treat infections because it has natural antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory abilities.
Hear from one of our founders, Anthony Maxfield, on why he loves the honey in our formulas so much:
"We use organic raw honey harvested from organic apiaries in the Hawaiian Islands, where the bees get a huge, diverse diet from all the different wildflowers, citrus trees, palms, and types of trees in the area. We don't heat, pasteurize, or filter the honey. It comes to you just like it is in the beehives. And when it gets in that jar, those nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins are in the same condition as they were when they came from nature, which is where the magic is.”
Beeswax
Beeswax acts as a protective barrier on the skin—without clogging pores! It creates a breathable layer that seals in moisture while healing your skin naturally. Beeswax is excellent for all skin types, and particularly healing for chapped winter skin, irritation, or redness that you want to soothe naturally. It also works to keep toxins and bacteria out with its protective nature.
If you’ve ever noticed that our products say they naturally contain pollen and propolis, it’s because of the beeswax. Its golden hue comes from them, both known for their incredible skin benefits.
Anthony shares why we include beeswax in all our moisturizer formulas:
"Beeswax is an incredibly nutritious, dense substance. The most interesting thing about it—and what makes it so great for skincare—is that the wax esters in beeswax are identical to the wax esters our skin already produces."
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
Extra virgin olive oil is loved for its deep moisturizing abilities and anti-aging benefits. Loved across cultures for its cosmetic and medicinal properties, EVOO is loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K. From promoting collagen production to strengthening the skin barrier and protecting against free radical damage caused by UV rays, the vitamins in EVOO are incredible for your skin!
Anthony explains why Honey Girl Organics loves EVOO:
"The profile of amino acids in olive oil resembles what’s already in your skin."
This similarity allows your skin to absorb the oil without clogging pores.
Our EVOO is particularly special because it’s cold-pressed, meaning the oil is extracted using pressure instead of heat. This process retains all the nutrient-dense properties of the oil, ensuring it’s as nourishing as possible!
