Beehives

Bistade

Bees are invaluable to us, they occupied part of our wild garden. We have a bee-friendly garden by growing flowers that they love and at the same time they help us by pollinating our annuals, shrubs, plants and vegetables. It's always amazing to watch them swarm to make new families during springtime. I'm happy to hear them buzzing around in our small garden while I do gardening.

Beeswax is one of the oldest raw ingredients used in skincare and continues to be used today due to its naturally beneficial skincare benefits. It is a natural emulsifier, binding oil and butter to make salve. It is also a highly stable ingredient.

Beeswax provide a natural barrier on the skin surface, against environmental irritants and harsh weather. Beeswax allows the skin to breathe, keeping pores free from blockage making it beneficial for any skin conditions. This natural barrier prevents water loss, keeping skin soft and hydrated. 

Beeswax softening ingredients, enhances skin elasticity and aids the retention of moisture.

It is anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and germicidal. Specially beneficial for sensitive skin.

We sustainably harvest from our beehives to use in our skincare products. Our goal is to create skincare that is gentle on the skin, and beeswax is one of our vital ingredient that allows us to achieve this goal while also being 100% natural. 
 
Beeswax is an essential ingredient in our balms and salves, creating the structure and smooth texture of the products. These water free products have the benefit of not requiring the addition of preservatives to keep them safe to use.
