Introducing Mana: Honey Girl Organics New After Shave Serum

Every product we create at Honey Girl Organics begins with the question: how can we serve the skin in the most nurturing, natural, and effective way?

Shaving and waxing, though routine for many men and women, can leave the skin vulnerable: stripped, inflamed, and in need of replenishment. Over the years our team has been carefully researching, testing, and refining an idea that emerged from conversations with our customers and our own desire for a deluxe after shave serum. 

Enter Mana After Shave Serum!

In Hawaiian culture, the word Mana refers to the spiritual life force that flows through all living things, a source of strength, balance, and renewal.

 This is exactly what we envisioned for our After Shave Serum: a way to restore harmony to the skin after the stress of shaving and waxing, to infuse it with vitality, and to transform a simple grooming step into a healing practice for self-care.

Natural Oils for Lasting Comfort

The base of Mana draws upon oils that have been trusted for centuries to comfort and protect the skin. Organic olive,  jojoba, rosehip, and hemp seed oils provide immediate replenishment, melting into the skin and reinforcing its barrier after the disruption of shaving.

Jojoba oil, with its unique wax ester composition, is nearly identical to the sebum produced naturally by human skin, which makes it especially effective at calming irritation and restoring balance.

Rosehip oil carries with it a wealth of essential fatty acids and naturally occurring vitamin A, that encourages the renewal of fresh, healthy skin. For those who struggle with post-shave redness, rosehip oil is a gentle yet highly effective solution.

Hemp seed oil lends its remarkable omega-rich profile to Mana, bringing essential fatty acids that soothe inflammation and regulate oil balance.

Shaving can leave the skin vulnerable to microtears, and the combination of these oils forms a protective, breathable shield that prevents dryness while allowing the skin to repair itself naturally.

Treasures from the Hive

From our roots as beekeepers, we’re well acquainted with the extraordinary gifts of the beehive. That knowledge is woven into Mana with organic Hawaiian beeswax and organic propolis extract.

Beeswax locks in hydration while shielding delicate post-shave skin from environmental stressors, and its natural emollient quality creates a smooth, comfortable finish.

Propolis, long celebrated for its antibacterial and healing properties, addresses the small nicks and abrasions that shaving can cause, reducing the likelihood of irritation while accelerating recovery.

To complement the protection of the hive, we turned to one of our other prized natural ingredients. Organic witch hazel extract brings natural astringency, helping to refine pores, tone the skin, and calm razor bumps. Witch hazel has been a traditional post-shave remedy for generations, and in Mana it works synergistically with beeswax and propolis to ensure the skin feels soothed and refreshed, not tight or stripped.

Advanced Natural Actives

While Mana is deeply grounded in traditional oils and botanicals, it also embraces modern, science-backed naturals that elevate post-shave/waxing care to something truly transformative.

We chose these ingredients for our Mana After Shave not as a departure from our values but as a way to honor natural processes by supporting the body in a function it was designed to perform.

Marine collagen is included to support the structure of the skin, encouraging elasticity and firmness. With regular use, collagen contributes to smoother skin texture and helps offset the early appearance of fine lines.

Another star ingredient is hyaluronic acid, at a concentration of 2.5 percent. For some, the inclusion of this ingredient may raise questions.

Does this mean Honey Girl Organics is straying from its commitment to natural skincare?

The answer is a resounding no.

Hyaluronic acid is not an artificial additive but a molecule that already exists in the human body, particularly within the skin’s connective tissues. Its ability to bind up to one thousand times its weight in water makes it unparalleled in its capacity to hydrate and plump the skin.

Scientific studies published in dermatological journals, including the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, the National Library of Medicine, and the Cleveland Health Library consistently affirm its safety and efficacy.

In fact, levels of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid within the dermis begin diminishing as early as 25 years old, which is why restoring it through clean, bio-fermented sources can be considered an act of replenishment rather than replacement.

 Naturally sourced caffeine further enhances this formula by stimulating circulation beneath the skin’s surface, which can reduce post-shave redness and give the complexion a more even, energized tone.

Vitanol, a completely natural retinol-like compound derived from alfalfa, offers the age-defying benefits of cellular renewal without the harshness often associated with synthetic retinoids.

Astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant derived from red algae, delivers one of nature’s strongest defenses against oxidative stress, shielding the skin from environmental factors such as UV exposure and pollution.

A Ritual of Aroma and Renewal

The fragrance profile of Mana has been carefully composed to uplift, ground, and restore balance after the act of shaving.

*Neroli imparts a delicate citrus-floral brightness that lightens the spirit, while *Australian sandalwood brings an earthy, grounding note that calms both skin and senses. *Frankincense, prized since antiquity for its rejuvenating qualities, deepens the blend with a resinous warmth that speaks to renewal. Vanilla adds a natural sweetness, softening the sharper edges of the formula, while *lemongrass contributes a clean, invigorating freshness.

The result is a clean aromatic experience that is complex yet harmonious, leaving behind not just healthier skin but also a heightened sense of well-being.
