What our experts say...
This was a favourite of mine from last year’s Awards! I absolutely adore that each of the plant-based oils in this product come from “a flowering plant that bees adore” (it has after all been created in a boutique apiary in the Blue Mountains). As such, this oil smells like a spring day in a beautiful garden abuzz with foraging bees. I found it best to apply when still wet out of the shower: a little goes a long way and my skin feels super soft and hydrated after use.

The hint of jasmine and the petals in the tincture create a lush experience and the oil doesn’t feel greasy on the skin. I love that Nina’s Bees have refined their manufacturing process in order to reduce waste and also use Australian ingredients, which lowers carbon footprint and supports local business.
– Sarah Berry
Even though this oil seems a little heavier than some others, it soaks in straight away and has a lovely rose smell to it, that is almost like a perfume. No need to wear both! Nina’s Bees have a very thoughtful approach to sustainability and it shows. I really love the packaging on this product, it feels premium even though it’s made with social responsibility in mind.

Every oil in this very special product comes from a flowering plant that bees love. The result is a potent, deliciously floral body oil which could also be used as a natural perfume. Absolutely divine.
