How the story so far.......
HoneyMaiden Natural Cosmetics
Twelve years ago, I needed a truly clean, natural moisturiser I could use on my children’s dry, sensitive skin. Even the “natural” products I found were full of hidden nasties, so I decided to make my own.
In the hunt for Irish beeswax, my lovely Steve joined the local beekeeping group. That decision completely changed the course of our lives. Long story short, Swarms.ie was born, and we now live in the west of Ireland with our children, dog and hives of rescued bees – a small natural sanctuary on the shore of Kilglass Lough.
For HoneyMaiden, I use only beautiful, chemical-free, untreated beeswax from our rescued colonies, and just a small percentage of their honey so that the bounty is left to the bees and they can thrive.
All products are:
Handmade in small batches in the west of Ireland
Beeswax-based and free from parabens, silicones and mineral oils
Created with a “bees first” ethic – we only ever take a gentle excess.
Grá mór,
Abigail
