Product Focus - The Protect Stick

Get instant protection from all the elements!

Living and working on the North Shore of Oahu is a blessing those of us here at Honey Girl Organics do not take for granted. The natural beauty of the waterfalls, rainbows, sunsets and prolific marine-life is what makes the Hawaiian islands so special. Enjoying the honeybees and sunshine is a way of life for us here, but one that requires protection. The owners of Honey Girl Organics have spent years working on a product that would provide protection from not only the sun, but the wind, water, weather, and pollution. At long last, Protect was created. This unique formula contains only skin-friendly and reef-safe ingredients. We use it in all kinds of weather and conditions, it's the perfect companion on a hike, at the beach, backyard gardening, or anytime you find yourself outside needing protection from the elements.   

WHAT IT DOES

Protect can be used at your discretion to protect against all the elements, including wind, weather, sun, water, and pollution. This unique formula: 

  • Filter's out UV rays
  • Heals chapped skin
  • Boosts skin's immunity
  • Prevents damage from free radicals
  • Seals in moisture
  • Conditions skin 

HOW TO USE

Apply to skin for instant protection from overexposure to the elements.  Gently rub in to blend. The more you have on your skin, the more protected you'll be!  

Reapply as needed and use with other protective measures. Hats and umbrellas are always wise additions. 

Honey Girl Tip: Before application spritz skin with Facial Toner to cleanse and purify skin. Add light layer of your favorite moisturizer, the Face and Eye Crème is a great choice. Wait a few minutes for it to penetrate skin, then apply Protect Stick to skin exposed to elements. Ideal for use on face, neck, and hands.  

INGREDIENTS INTEL

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (20%)

Zinc oxide is made from zinc, a type of metallic element found in nature. It has been used for centuries, first described in ancient Indian medicinal scripts around the year 500 B.C., it was used for burns and wounds. It provides broad-spectrum sun protection that prevents burns and aiding in their recovery. Zinc oxide helps to lower skin inflammation associated with rashes, allergies, irritation and acne. It improves construction of collagen and forming of new connective tissues, preventing aging of skin and locking in moisture.

Organic Raspberry Seed Oil

Raspberry seed oil is high in vitamin A and E, as well as oleic, alpha linolenic and linoleic acids, all which help to protect and moisturize the skin. A study done by Elsevier in 2000 showed that red raspberry seed oil has UV protection and can shield against UVA- induced damage by scattering as well as absorption. It also contains carotenoids which are strong antioxidant’s that inhibit UV damage and stimulate cell repair. Being high in Omega 9 and Omega 6, these essential fatty acids help to protect the skin from the sun, reduce inflammation, deeply moisturizes, and help skin cells to regenerate.

Wildcrafted Carrot Seed Oil

Carrot seed oil is high in vitamin A, K and C as well as Beta-carotene- a powerful antioxidant; making it a naturally anti-aging and helping to protect your skin from environmental factors. Since it contains vitamin E and C it is moisturizing and rejuvenating; promoting firm, toned skin. It balances oil production and provides enough moisture without clogging pores.

Organic Beeswax

is a nutrient-rich substance secreted by bees in order to make honeycomb. A recent study found that unfiltered beeswax contains 300 micronutrients. We include it in our formulations to soften and hydrate the skin while creating a long-lasting protective coating against the elements.

Beeswax contains wax esters that also exist in human skin. It is a natural hydrating agent that increases essential moisture in the skin. Beeswax has a very low irritation potential, is an antiseptic and promotes healing and softening of the skin. It is a naturally nourishing moisturizer as well as being anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiallergenic and a germicidal antioxidant.

Beeswax obtains its golden color from the propolis and bee pollen inside, both also known for their incredible health benefits.

The beeswax helps lock in your skin’s own moisture, nourishes skin cells and creates a barrier against the destruction caused by our environment. Beeswax is one of the oldest and purest natural waxes. For hundreds of years, it has been used in creams, lipsticks and other cosmetics. It is also edible in small amounts and has been used to coat foods and medicines.

 Organic Shea Butter


Shea butter is a skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree. Being naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F, these components keep the skin in optimal health and protect from UV radiation. Since it contains concentrated natural vitamins and fatty acids it is nourishing and moisturizing for skin. Shea butter consists of oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin, preventing drying while boosting the skin’s natural collagen production. It also has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidants properties, these can help reduce inflammatory skin diseases and skin damage caused by free radicals.

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

We chose organic extra virgin olive oil because of its unique ability to be absorbed and supply nutrition to the skin. It is the most compatible oil to human skin because it has a similar composition of fatty acids. Therefore it absorbs deeply into your skin resulting in long lasting moisture and nutrition absorption.
It is also soothing and healing to all skin types and is high in antioxidants, including Vitamin E and Vitamin A, which protect against age-accelerating free radicals.
The flavonoid polyphenols in olive oil are natural anti-oxidants which have been shown to have a host of beneficial effects, including healing sunburned skin. It also has antibacterial properties and the ability to inhibit substances that lead to inflammation.
Olive oil has been used by women as a cosmetic for thousands of years. We use extra virgin because it hasn’t been refined and conserves all of its’ nutritional values.
