National Honey Month: Our 4 Favorite Products Formulated With Honey

At Skincare.com, one of our favorite skin care ingredients is honey. That’s because honey is a natural humectant that can draw in moisture and provide our skin with deep, hydrating nourishment. Simply put, we can’t get enough of the sweetly-scented ingredient… and neither can our favorite eco-friendly skin care brand, The Body Shop. In fact, the brand uses its Community Trade program to collect honey from the UNESCO Sheka Forest Biosphere in Ethiopia for some of its best selling skin care products. In honor of National Honey Month we’re sharing four of our favorite honey-infused skin care products from The Body Shop that are sure to make your mouth water.

Inspired by nature and formulated with The Body Shop’s Community Trade honey from Ethiopia, marula oil from Namibia, and olive oil from Italy, this Deep Nourishing Mask can boost hydration, work to prevent dryness in the skin, and promotes a softer complexion. Use it on it’s own or use it in a multi-masking recipe to target the areas of your complexion that need a little deep conditioning.

We don’t know about you, but we can’t live without lip balm—especially in the fall and winter months when our lips are just as dry as the climate. And the Honey Bronze Shimmer Lip Balm is a delicious way to hydrate and soothe dry, chapped lips. Formulated with the brand’s Community Trade honey, this lip balm uses its natural humectant properties to attract moisture to the skin on the lips and provide it with relief and deep nourishment.

Formulated with the brand’s Community Trade honey from Ethiopia, this Bubble Bath Melt has a rich floral scent and can leave your skin feeling silky soft after your soak. What are you waiting for? Light some candles, put on a face mask, sit back, and relax in this creamy bubble bath.
