Our Packaging
The packing we use is part of how we preserve our products. Our packaging prevents light from breaking down the ingredients.
We mostly use aluminum jars and pump bottles that are lined with glass. These jars eliminated the light completely. Our serums are also aluminum lined with glass, plus they have a pump to prevent air from entering the product.
We also use dark colored glass bottles for our toners and hair serum. The dark glass eliminated light and chemical contamination.
All our plastic jars are double walled polypropylene that will help preserve the products from light and our dark plastic bottles are PET.
All our jars, bottles and plastic jars are recyclable. The only items that cannot be recycled are the pumps on our Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover and lotions, and the mist sprayer on our facial toner. Please check with your local community’s recycling program to ensure that you can recycle glass, aluminum and plastic.
When Was My Product Made?
We do not make products that can sit on a shelf for years. When buying directly from HoneyGirlOrganics.com, you get the freshest and most effective products. You can easily determine when your HGO product was made at our facility in Hawaii, just look for the batch number on the bottom of your jar or bottle, starting with an H.
You will need to look at the 5 digits after the H, and here is how you can determine the manufacturing date:
- H10115 - this product was made in 2021 on January 15th.
- H1 = 2021 (H0 = 2020)
- 01 = the first month of the year (January)
- 15 = the 15th of the month

General Instructions For The Use Of Our Creams:
- The creams are concentrated. A little goes a long way!
- Apply a small amount first, then increase amount as desired.
- There may be some separation in the creams from time to time because no artificial or chemical emulsifiers or stabilizers are used. If separation should occur, please stir lightly with a clean spatula.
- This does not apply to our thicker creams like the Night Crème, Super Skin Food, Mom & Baby Butter, Foot Balm and Cuticle & Nail Crème - these thicker creams should not be stirred.
- It’s best to either use applicator or clean hands when getting product out of the jar. This will keep the product in a fresh condition longer.
- Do not refrigerate. The creams keep best at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat.
