Baby, it’s cold outside! While the shimmering snowy landscape reminds me that Spring is far away and the bees are peacefully hibernating in their hives, we can still enjoy their most precious gifts – honey, beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly. There are many beauty uses for these little nature’s miracles, but being natural humectants their moisturizing properties are worth their weight in gold during the winter months.
Here are some of the best beauty products with honey, beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly as the star ingredients I tried and loved that I thought you might enjoy as well!
FarmHouse Fresh Honey Heel Glaze [$25 for 3oz] comes in a picture-perfect glass jar that won’t look out of place among your jars of real honey on the shelf. This golden sticky moisturizing serum was designed to specifically target cracked heels and dry feet, making them appear instantly pedicured. Massage a thin amount for an instant boost of moisture or slather on a generous layer, wrap your feet in cozy dark socks to prevent staining, and leave on overnight to wake up with baby-smooth skin. Honey Heel Glaze comes with a brush that makes the process extra fun and ensures that you don’t waste any product.
Our favorite lip balm is now even more convenient! Burt’s Bees Squeezable Beeswax Lip Balm [$3.99 for 0.35oz] features the same 100% natural formula we all love, but without the hassle of twisting it up every time, and trying to close the lid without accidentally slicing off the tip of the stick. Yeah, I know that lip balms are not exactly rocket science, but if something will make my life even a tiny bit easier I’m all up for it!
When my hands are feeling extra dry and irritated, few products helps as well as Burt’s Bees Ultimate Care Hand Cream [$12.99 for 3.2oz]. Infused with baobab oil, beeswax, watermelon seed oil, and dozens of nourishing natural butters and botanical extracts, this ultra rich lotion sinks into every dry crack and patch. This moisture actually lasts for hours, so I generally never need to reapply between hand washes. This is seriously a must-have!
And finally, Savannah Bee Royal Jelly Body Butter [$25 for 6.7oz] that I discovered just a few weeks ago. It comes in a beautiful giftable box, and even the jar itself looks like a tiny pot of honey. Inside the jar you’ll find one of the most nourishing body butters that graced my snow-kissed skin, and I bet if you try it you’ll love it as much as I do! This ultra-rich cream sinks into the skin and immediately soothes any irritation and painful dry spots that may have appeared as a result of dryness.

I freaking LOVE Burt’s Bees stuff. I’ve never tried their hand cream though so that’s next on the list for me to get!
Try it for sure, especially since you blog about nail polish. It makes the hands and cuticles look AMAZING <3
I love products made with honey. I enjoy Savannah Bee products, and I must try out the Farmhouse Fresh Heel Glaze!
That Heel Glaze is a game changer! You wouldn’t believe how well it works 🙂
Honey is the best for keeping moisture in the skin. Those bees know a little something about skincare!
I know, right? Bees are fascinating!
I need the Honey Heel glaze in my life right now. use honey on my hair and skin at times, too. This would be perfect from me.
I use honey as a lip treatment and sometimes add it to my baths, along with milk, like Cleopatra 😀 Who doesn’t want to feel like a Queen?
The Burt’s Bees in the squeezable tube is one of my very favorites. My blog partner totally loves Savannah Bee.
Glad to hear that! I love my squeezable balm, too, it’s so convenient!
I love everything Farmhouse Fresh and Burt’s Bees. Never tried Savannah Bee
I’m a big fan of both brands as well, and now I;m also hooked on Savannah Bee 🙂
I need to try the Farmhouse Honey Heel and those Burt’s Bees. It’s been years since I have used anything from BB. Honey is a big deal in my skincare and I use for both my hair and my skin – raw, organic Honey. I must try some of these. I love the Savannah Tupelo… my favorite.
Honey is one of the most amazing and most versatile beauty treatments. I always love trying products with it as a star ingredient!
The Honey Heel sounds like something I need to check out! I’m a huge fan of Burt’s Bees!
Likewise, I’ve been obsessed with them for many many years now even before I moved to the US. I had my hubs (then bf) smuggle in some Burt’s Bees goodies when we went on vacations together 🙂
