Our Roots
From Beehives to Bee-uty
Honey Girl Organics began with an observation: honey and beeswax, blended with deeply nourishing oils, could make skin feel softer, smoother, and visibly renewed.
The discovery that started it
In 1998, Anthony Maxfield, Gwen Maxfield, and Christina Sirlin discovered the remarkable skin benefits of honey and beeswax. After moving to Hawaiʻi, Anthony chose to care for the neighborhood bees rather than remove them, found his calling as a beekeeper, and helped transform that discovery into the organic skincare Honey Girl Organics is known for today.
Why “Honey Girl”?
The name was inspired by local island culture, where “Honey Girl” is used as a term of endearment. That sense of warmth, care, and Hawaiʻi living still guides the brand’s approach to clean beauty.
