Ingredient Philosophy

Nature’s Finest Nutrition, Kept in Its Purest Form

The flower is the seed of life. Bees collect nectar and pollen from organically grown flowers, then concentrate that pure essence into the honey, beeswax, pollen, propolis, and royal jelly found throughout Honey Girl Organics products.

Recognizable by the body

We intentionally keep our ingredients in their most pure and natural forms so the body can easily recognize and utilize them. The goal is fresh, nutrient-dense skincare that supports the skin rather than overwhelming it.

Small-batch, low-heat production

Our creams are made by hand in small batches using ideal low-heat conditions to help maintain the naturally occurring nutrition that raw, organic ingredients provide.

If your skin is highly reactive or you prefer products without essential oils, we recommend our Extra Sensitive line.
