Delicately scented and infinitely creamy, it’s sure to soothe the driest of hands. The process and ingredients in this product are so well considered.

This product is nourishing and has a beautiful aroma. I used all of the product and would gladly buy more.! I love the values that Nina employs and the fact that her product is manufactured in small batches. The welfare of the bees plays a huge part in the process of manufacturing and creating this product and I think that is commendable, bees are a vital part of the global organism and I think that what Nina’s Bees are doing is wonderful.
–Sam Christian
An incredibly nourishing and intensive hand treatment for skin needing extra love. My hands were so dry coming out of winter and applying this gorgeous, soft and buttery balm made me give an actual audible sigh of relief. I love that the beeswax used in the formulation to create a protective barrier on the skin comes from the maker’s own hives.
– Emily Fletcher
With a calming scent of lavender and patchouli, this hand balm is easy to apply to hands via a small scoop from its recyclable aluminium tin. I’m such a fan of Nina’s Bees and her huge efforts to take care of the local environment through beekeeping and education. I also truly appreciate the brand’s efforts to use aluminium tins (which are endlessly recyclable) and zero waste packaging for products.
