FAQ

No, most pure raw or unheated honey has a natural tendency to crystallize over time. Crystallized honey is still edible and has not lost any of its natural health benefits.

No, honey does not expire. Unless the honey has been exposed to harmful bacteria or such, honey will never expire.

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.

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…”

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.

Yes, it is naturally gluten free. And this makes honey a product that can be consumed by people who suffers from gluten intolerance.

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.

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.

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.

No, unfortunately not. Honey is produced by bees and they are animals.

A: Beeswax is a natural substance produced by honeybees and is renowned for its numerous skin benefits, making it an excellent ingredient for treating skin blemishes. Here at Maricoriverhoneybee, we incorporate high-quality beeswax in our skincare products to harness these benefits.

Furthermore, beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture without clogging pores, which ensures that your skin stays hydrated and blemish-free. Incorporating beeswax-based products into your skincare routine can provide a natural and effective solution for clearer and healthier 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.

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.

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.
