Honey

Because of its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, raw honey helps kill bacteria that may cause acne and will help skin heal faster.

Honey has been widely used throughout history for skin care and it adds to the lather, giving you a nice bubbly soap bar.

An emollient

Also called a humectant, honey is extremely moisturizing and helps keep moisture locked in the skin. This moisture and elasticity helps to give the skin it’s natural glow and healthy “look.”

Full of anti-oxidants

Antioxidants means slower aging, less wrinkles, less damage from free-radicles. In fact, the Skin Care Resource Center reports that current research has determined the effectiveness of honey as a natural form of suncreen, helping to protect again premature wrinkles that might lead to cancer.

Anti-bacterial

Since honey is anti-bacterial, it is helpful in treating acne and keeping other bacterial irritations on the skin at bay.

For Dry or Damaged Skin

Because of its antioxidant and humectant properties, honey soap is great for dry or damaged skin.

For Acne

Due to it's antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, raw honey helps kill bacteria that may cause acne and will help skin heal faster.

How is honey made?

Bees make honey so that they will have food stores during the winter. Older worker bees gather the nectar and and store it in their “honey stomach”. In this stomach, enzymes break down the complex sugars into simple sugars, so that they will not crystallize. This process is called inversion. (Nectar contains 80% water and would ferment and spoil if left in its natural state.)

With his belly full, the bee returns to the hive, then regurgitates the modified nectar for another bee. The hive bee ingests the modified nectar and further breaks down the sugars, regurgitating into a honeycomb cell.

Next, the hive bees gather round the cells to fan the nectar with their wings and force evaporation of its remaining water content. As the water evaporates, the sugars thicken into honey. Once finished, the bees cap off and seal the honey into the honeycomb for later consumption.
