Why Our Formulations Work

Every ingredient is carefully chosen to help care for dry, sensitive and changing skin. Together they create formulations that are gentle, effective and a pleasure to use every day.

Lasting Hydration - raw Welsh honey is a natural humectant, helping to attract and retain moisture so skin feels soft, comfortable and hydrated.

Barrier Protection - beeswax helps support the skin's natural barrier by reducing moisture loss while allowing skin to breathe.

Gentle, Skin-Loving Ingredients - propolis and carefully chosen botanical oils work alongside our hive ingredients to help nourish, soften and care for delicate, changing skin.

We don't believe in chasing every new skincare trend. Instead, we focus on choosing exceptional ingredients, understanding how they work together and creating products we're genuinely proud to make and use ourselves every day.

Our Story

Hi, I'm Cath, founder of Honey Bee Beautiful. 

Growing up in a small Welsh village, I spent my childhood surrounded by nature. My dad introduced me to beekeeping, and I quickly became fascinated by the intelligence of bees and how the incredible ingredients of the hive could care for the skin.

I soon began experimenting with ingredients from my own hives, creating simple formulations and discovering just how wonderfully raw honey, beeswax and propolis could help moisturise, soothe and protect the skin.

Having struggled to find mainstream skincare that felt gentle on my skin and kind to the environment, I realised there might be another way.

After more than 20 years as a lawyer, I took a leap of faith, swapped the courtroom for the Welsh countryside and founded Honey Bee Beautiful in 2015.

In 2020, Bec joined Honey Bee Beautiful, bringing her own love of nature, skincare and caring for our customers. She's far more likely to be found spotting frogs than bees and, when she's not making skincare or carefully packing your orders, you'll usually find her exploring the beautiful Black Mountains or curled up at home with a book and her beloved cat, Tubs.

Together we formulate, handcraft and pack every product here in rural Wales.

Honey Bee Beautiful has always been guided by three simple values: gently caring for skin, respecting bees and working in harmony with nature.

More than ten years later, those values still shape everything we do, from the way we formulate our products to the way we care for our customers.

We're proud to remain a small business because it means we can make every product with care, answer every email personally and help every customer find the right skincare for their skin.
