SKINCARE PRODUCTS

Over 10 years ago, we started making our own infused oils, skin creams, balms and later, soaps, as I (Kena) was born highly sensitive to most chemicals used in foods and topical products. It has been a long road to develop skincare products that have healed and improved my sensitive skin and we are so happy to share them with you. 

Our products are made with infused oils using organic olive oil in a low ratio of plant to oil that we make ourselves. By using these gently infused oils, we can avoid concentrated, unnatural essential oils that only use a very small fraction of the plant. Yes, we believe a highly concentrated distillation process does not give a natural outcome and has been shown to be harmful in some circumstances. My background is in nursing, herbalism and nutrition and I am an avid researcher. I also have personal experience with skin problems related to many skincare products. They are just way too intense for many like me, who have sensitive senses and skin. BeeBlesst products are made with a lesser amount of plant material so are different than most products we have seen. Our method of infusion, using a smaller amount of plant material infused over time, makes for a gentle, yet very effective product. We have found no need for essential (distilled) oils, as our infused oils still pull off the volatile oils with their known properties and this time-honored form of extraction takes all the other constituents as well, not just the single volatile oil. We have found that all the plant parts work together and make a more whole, balanced product instead of using a small fraction and concentrated part of the plant. Our all natural products are designed for everyone and can usually be used by those who are sensitive to chemicals and concentrated products. See below for cautions.

​

More Important information about Essential oils vs Infused oils: 

1. Essential oils concentrate all pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers into a very small amount of oil. Even if they are organic, they may still use approved "chemicals" or other growth or pest-deterring products that will be highly concentrated in the final product. Our organic infused oils do not concentrate, but extract a small amount of the plant constituents into the oil gently.

2. There are numerous documented injuries from internal and external use of essential oils, including severe long term skin sensitivity and harm to pets, especially if swallowed. 

3. Essential oils use a very small portion of the plant. Only 1-5% of the plant contains the volatile oils that are called "essential" oils, so they use hundreds and often thousands of pounds of plant material for only a couple of pounds or ounces of oil. There is a lot of plant waste. It takes 2 tons, or 4000 pounds of Bulgarian roses to produce one pound of essential oil. Almost 8 million jasmine flowers picked on the day they open, are needed to produce just over 2 pounds of oil and lemon balm requires 3 tons (6000 pounds) of fresh leaves and tops for one pound of oil. Our infused oils are measured in grams and ounces so there is very little waste!  

4. Essential oil companies have taken over massive amounts of land all over the world and most use monoculture growing practices which have been shown to damage natural ecosystems. Infused oils can be grown anywhere on any amount of land and we purchase most of our plants from a company that grows all sorts of organic plants at their farm.

PROCESSING AND STORAGE OF OUR PRODUCTS

Of course, our honey is good forever if you don't introduce anything into it. Keep it free of water or anything else and it will last and last. It is the only food that does not spoil. Amazing! If your honey gets too thick for your liking or crystalizes, you can gently heat in warm water (not boiling, keep below 105 degrees to preserve enzymes) or set near low heat or in a warm place. Do not microwave as this will destroy many of the good constituents and enzymes. 

​

We receive our herbs when they are fresh or wild harvest them ourselves and then dry them until just dry or we purchase from a few trusted companies that have recently dried them to our standards. We make small batches and pay great attention to details. We believe that each step in the process is the most important. We expect all our skin care products, unless otherwise specified, to remain good to use for at least one year from purchase. 

​

​HERBS ARE DIFFERENT THAN MEDICINE

If you are interested in a particular herb or bee product, I strongly suggest you do your own research on the benefits to the skin and your health that they impart as we are not allowed by certain rules to give the full healing information about the herbs, oils, butters or honey bee products. Historically many herbs are used for various skin conditions and can be very beneficial. You can often find studies to back this up including those from government websites. There are absolutely no guarantees made for the outcome of our products as we all will have individual responses. 

 

CAUTIONS REGARDING ALLERGY, PREGNANCY & SAFETY

 Use a tiny amount at first on a small patch of skin preferably the inner arm to make sure you don’t have an adverse skin reaction before using any of our skin products in larger amounts. There are those who may have an allergy or intolerance to certain plants. Calendula and Chamomile may cause a rare allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family (Ragweed). 

Some feel pregnant women should use caution with herbs, especially Calendula. Our full strength Calendula topical oil is not recommended during pregnancy. We use a negligible amount of calendula per use in several of our other products that is considered safe for external use per research and many standards.

If you have any concerns regarding this or have any other health issues, especially related to skin, allergies, immune system, etc., concerns or questions, we recommend you contact your healthcare provider and/or an herbal practitioner before using any of our products. Feel free to call with any questions.

OUR OILS MAY MAKE TUB SLIPPERY-RECMMENDED TO CLEAN AND RINSE AFTER USE.

SOME ADVICE ON KEEPING SKIN PRODUCTS AS FRESH AND LONG-LASTING AS POSSIBLE

Our products are made with an all natural preservative that works well in oil products and is an extract of the elderberry. The herbs, beeswax and honey are all naturally antimicrobial and preserving. It is still important to not introduce wet hands or water into any of the products as this will encourage the growth of microbes since the elderberry preservative is made specifically for oil, not water and water in products is what encourages the growth of germs, even if made with natural antimicrobial ingredients. If you are using a dropper which is what is included with the oils, do not touch the dropper to water, skin, hair or any other surface. I encourage you to make sure you do not set the dropper down anywhere when you are expelling the drops and immediately put it back in the bottle after use. Use clean, dry hands or a scooping tool to remove the butters and balms from the jars. Keep products in a cool, dry place and you can keep your products in the refrigerator for longer storage.
