And more! Body Shop—Sells many products containing beeswax or honey. This summer I’ve been enjoying the benefits of Honey Moisturizing Shampoo and Honey Moisturizing Conditioner. The two have kept my hair soft and supple even though I swim almost every day in an outdoor pool. I have also found Spa Wisdom Africa Honey Butter to give intense moisturizing and softening to tough skin of the heels, elbows and knees.
Burt’s Bees—a natural body care company that creates many products for the hair, lips and body that contain beeswax or honey. Products are dependable, high quality and widely available although somewhat expensive. Still, I wouldn’t be caught without Honey Lip Balm or Burt’s Bees Lip Balm in my purse, especially not during the windy months of fall and winter.
L’Occitane—Creates a lavishly sensual line called Honey Harvest. Best in the line for combined hair and skin care is Honey Foaming Jelly for Body and Hair. Honey Foaming Jelly is a blend of bee ingredients discussed in this article including propolis, royal jelly and honey. It is designed to soothe and soften the skin and hair, while leaving behind hits of its delightful honey fragrance. The honey comes from Zambia and helps bring economic opportunities to local Zambians.
Murray’s Beeswax—Some like this for starting (dread”> locs; I don’t recommend it for that purpose. It contains petroleum oil (not good for the hair”> and is very sticky which attracts dirt and lint. I have used this successfully on very coarse, tightly curled hair as a pressing oil since it creates a good barrier between hot comb, curling wand or flat iron and the hair. It conducts heat well without sizzling or popping. It can also be used to hold tightly curled hair in place for up-dos.
