Twenty Years of Honey Girl Organics

Twenty Years of Honey Girl Organics

In 2026, Honey Girl Organics celebrates twenty years of creating skincare rooted in integrity, intention, and real results!

From the very beginning, our belief has been simple: skincare should be as safe, clean, and nourishing as the food you put in your body. That philosophy continues to guide every product we create today.


Honey Girl Organics officially launched in 2006, but our story began years earlier in Hawai’i. Founders Anthony Maxfield, Gwen Maxfield, and Christina Sirlin were living a wellness-focused lifestyle and searching for truly gentle, chemical-free skincare. At the same time, Anthony had taken up beekeeping, working closely with honey and beeswax in their most raw, natural forms.

Cuticle & Nail Crème: The First Creation


What started as curiosity quickly turned into something more. A small kitchen became a skincare laboratory. Honey, beeswax, and nourishing oils were blended, tested, refined, and tested again. The first product was the Cuticle & Nail Crème, created to restore dry, irritated hands and nails. Friends and family were among the first to try it and the feedback was clear: skin felt calmer, softer, and healthier.


One customer shared their experience:

"I recently went through chemotherapy and about six months afterwards I noticed that my nails and cuticles were very dry to the point where they were bleeding and very uncomfortable when my hands were in water. I purchased this product and noticed within three days a difference. My cuticles are moist and healthy, and my nails are also looking less dry and have less ridges and indentations on them. This is an amazing product."


Body Crème: Nourishment for the Whole Body

Soon after, the Body Crème was introduced, bringing the same carefully crafted blend of honey, beeswax, and nourishing oils to the skin from head to toe. Its gentle, hydrating formula quickly became a favorite for all skin types, including sensitive skin.


A customer shared their delight:

"This will definitely be my cream for life. I have very sensitive skin with eczema. I tried many creams but they all always gave me an allergic reaction and made my problems worse. I am delighted because it leaves my skin soft, bright and hydrated and above all it improved my skin problems. The aroma is incredible and relaxing. I simply love it."

Growing with Integrity and Aloha

By 2006, Honey Girl Organics was officially born. The name was inspired by island culture, where “honey girl” is a term of warmth, affection, and care. It reflected exactly what we wanted our products to feel like on the skin: comforting, nurturing, and naturally beautiful.



As the brand grew, our standards only became stronger. In 2011, Honey Girl Organics earned USDA Organic certification, reinforcing our commitment to ingredient integrity and transparency. We formulate, manufacture, and produce in small batches to ensure freshness and quality, maintaining control over every step of the process.

 

Our formulas are built around nature’s most powerful skin allies: organic honey, beeswax, botanical oils, and plant extracts chosen for their ability to support the skin’s natural barrier, hydration, and renewal. These ingredients are intentionally kept in their natural forms so the skin can recognize and benefit from them fully.

 

Over the years, Honey Girl Organics has grown from a small family operation into a trusted clean skincare brand found in hundreds of stores nationwide, including Whole Foods Market and other wellness-focused retailers.

Yet our purpose remains unchanged…


We create skincare for people who want results without compromise. For sensitive skin. For long-term skin health. For those who read labels, care about sourcing, and believe that what touches your skin matters.


Every purchase, every review, every shared experience keeps this brand growing and allows us to expand our line of products. Thanks to our loyal customers over the past twenty years, we are able to continue introducing new favorites like Mana After Shave, a reflection of our ongoing commitment to clean, effective, and thoughtfully crafted skincare!

 

Twenty years later, Honey Girl Organics is still led by the same principles that started it all: simple ingredients, honest formulations, thoughtful production, and deep respect for the body, the skin, and Mother Earth. 


Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Here’s to twenty years of clean beauty, healthy skin, and nature doing what it does best, and to twenty more years filled with more aloha, more products you can trust, and more ways to nurture yourself!

With love,

Honey Girl Organics
