The use of honey in cosmetics may seem surprising, but it is extremely beneficial. For thousands of years, honey has been valued for its antiseptic and healing properties. The integration of honey into beauty treatments is part of what is called apitherapy, the art of healing using bee products. Although the type of honey varies depending on the flowers harvested and the regions of production, its basic composition remains the same: sugar, water, proteins, minerals and trace elements.


The trace elements present in honey, as well as in royal jelly, help regulate excess sebum and provide a brighter complexion by eliminating dead skin. Its detoxifying and purifying properties allow for deep cleansing of the skin. Honey is also rich in antioxidants, making it a great anti-aging ingredient as it helps fight the effects of aging. It is suitable for all skin types: dry, dehydrated, mature, combination, oily, or even acne-prone. However, be careful with people allergic to pollen, as honey can cause irritation in some cases. Finally, it promotes the healing of acne-prone skin.


Honey is also an effective remedy for hair breakage and loss. Thanks to its richness in nutrients, it strengthens the hair structure, thus promoting stronger and more lasting growth. Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it protects hair from external aggressions while providing shine. Using honey as a natural hair care product is therefore an excellent choice.
