-
Does honey expiry?No, honey does not expire. Unless the honey has been exposed to harmful bacteria or such, honey will never expire.
-
Why does honey sometimes differ in colour?The different pollen and nectar which the bees collect are all different and because the bees don’t just collect one specific type, the colour of the honey harvested, will very often differ.
-
Can honey have side effects?Oeps! I guess that will depend on how much you eat or if you have a natural allergy to honey. Like they say:” To much of a good thing…”
-

What makes your Whipped Body Butter special?This product is handcrafted with only natural ingredients. We use raw honey and bee wax and natural oils. There is not a drop of chemicals or preservatives. Just think how good this is for your skin.
-
Does bee wax really have health benefits?Oh yes for sure. For example, in medicine, bee wax contains long - chain fatty acids and alcohols that can assist in reducing high blood cholesterol levels. It is also used to relieve pain, swelling and inflammation. When used in your daily skincare routine, like using our Whipped Body Butter, the bee wax locks in moisture and can help keep the skin firm and plump. The anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory properties soothe easily irritated skin, making it one of the best skincare ingredients. Try our body butter to see for yourself.

-
Can I feed honey to my baby?Occasionally, honey contains bacteria that can produce toxins in a baby's intestines, leading to infant botulism. It is a rare decease, but can be fatal. Please do not give your child honey until they're over 1 year old.
-
What is adulterated honey?That is honey that has been mixed with other substances, like added sugars or sweeteners, rendering the honey poorer in quality. We do not supply adulterated honey.
-
Has your honey been pasteurized?No, pasteurized honey is honey that has been exposed to high temperature during the processing process. We supply unpasteurized honey. Pasteurized honey, it is believed, will contain fewer antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and healthy enzymes than raw, unpasteurized honey. Honey is often pasteurized to prolong its shelf life, slow down the crystallization process and makes it smooth.
-
Is honey considered Vegan?No, unfortunately not. Honey is produced by bees and they are animals.

Raw honey is a powerful moisturizer, thanks to its humectant properties, which help retain moisture in the skin. Additionally, it contains antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent choice for those suffering from acne or other skin irritations. Raw honey is also rich in antioxidants, which help to repair and protect the skin from environmental damage. When used regularly, it can help to promote a healthy, glowing complexion, making it a versatile and valuable addition to your skincare regimen.

Q: Can I use your Whipped Body Butter on my face?A: At Maricoriverhoneybee, our Whipped Body Butter is formulated with high-quality, natural ingredients designed to nourish and hydrate your skin. While it is specifically crafted for use on the body, it can also be used on the face but should be applied to a clean dry face, prior to going to bed. However, we recommend performing a patch test first. Some facial skin types can be more sensitive or prone to breakouts, so it's important to ensure that the product suits your specific skin needs. If you have particularly sensitive or acne-prone skin, it may be better to use a product specifically designed for facial care. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use immediately.

Q: Why do you add coconut oil to beeswax candles?A: At Maricoriverhoneybee, we add coconut oil to our beeswax candles for several important reasons. First, coconut oil helps to reduce the melting point of pure beeswax, making it easier to achieve a consistent and even burn. This means our candles burn more smoothly and efficiently, reducing the occurrence of tunneling and leftover wax. Second, incorporating coconut oil enhances the scent throw of the candles, allowing both the natural beeswax aroma and any added fragrances to disperse more effectively throughout your space. Lastly, the addition of coconut oil helps to soften the beeswax, making it easier to work with during the candle-making process. This ensures that we can create high-quality candles that burn beautifully and provide a pleasant experience for our customers.
