Handcrafted in Horseshoe Valley using all natural ingredients, including beeswax and propolis harvested from our own hives, this premium body serum delivers rich nourishment straight from the source. A concentrated formula means a little goes a long way—ideally applied after a shower or bath while your skin is still wet, allowing the water to help blend the serum deeply into your skin. Beeswax creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture, while propolis (more about propolis) offers natural antibacterial and soothing benefits for healthier, glowing skin. At Beamish Honey, we bring the hive to your beauty routine with pure, sustainable ingredients that celebrate the power of nature. 
 
Here are the specific skincare benefits of each ingredient in our Body Serum:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-Deep Hydration: Easily penetrates the skin and delivers long-lasting moisture without clogging pores.
-Anti-Aging: Packed with antioxidants (like vitamins E and polyphenols) and squalene, which fight free radicals and oxidative stress.
-Regeneration & Soothing: The anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritation, redness and assist with tissue regeneration.
 
Jojoba Oil
-Seals in Moisture: Functions chemically as a liquid wax, which makes it remarkably similar in structure to the skin's natural sebum.
-Balances Oil Production: Because it mimics natural oils, it hydrates dry areas while signalling the body to stop over-producing oils.
-Lightweight & Healing: Absorbs quickly without feeling sticky and provides anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
 
Castor Oil
-Locks in Hydration: Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture from the air and sealing it deep into the skin to prevent dryness.
-Skin Conditioning: High in ricinoleic acid, which softens the skin, improves suppleness and creates a healthy, radiant glow.
-Soothing Care: Contains soothing properties that help comfort irritated or inflamed areas.
 
Beeswax
-Protective Barrier: Acts as an occlusive agent, forming a breathable, non-comedogenic seal on the skin that locks in the benefits of the other ingredients.
-Soothes and Lubricates: Contains anti-inflammatory and emollient properties that help to alleviate itching and soothe dry patches.
-Regeneration: Rich in Vitamin A, which aids in cell turnover and helps heal minor abrasions.
 
Shea Butter
-Intense Moisture: Rich in beneficial fatty acids (stearic, oleic and linoleic acids) that deeply nourish and soften dry, flaky skin.
-Barrier Repair: Helps reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss.
-Anti-inflammatory: Excellent for soothing sensitive, inflamed or cracked skin including conditions like eczema.
 
Propolis  (more about propolis)
-Deep Soothing & Healing: Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties are highly effective for calming irritated skin, reducing redness and treating conditions like body acne or eczema.
-Barrier Support: Propolis acts as a natural humectant, pulling moisture into the skin while fortifying the skin's barrier. This helps to lock in hydration and prevent dryness.
-Antioxidant Protection: Rich in flavoniods, it neutralizes free radicals caused by environmental stress and pollution, protecting your skin from premature aging and dullness.
-Skin Regeneration: It stimulates collagen productions and promotes skin cell growth, making it incredibly beneficial for fading scars, repairing dry patches and soothing sunburns.
-Lightweight Glow: Unlike heavy body creams, a body serum with propolis absorbs quickly and layers beautifully under heavier lotions, leaving the skin plump and radiant.
