Let The Healing Begin With The Lotion Company

by Leave a Comment

For all things lotion, head to The Lotion Company, a small family-owned business in Muncie, Indiana. As you would expect, they have many types of lotion to choose from, from vanilla bean to lavender and peppermint, but that’s not what sets The Lotion Company apart. What makes them truly special is the care you find in their products and the genuine good they do their clients. They go beyond simply offering a product that smells nice and keeps skin soft – they sell lotions that heal.

Honey House Naturals Provides Customers With High-End Natural and Organic Products

by Leave a Comment

Natural body and skincare products can come in a lot of different shapes and sizes, and can originate from a variety of interesting sources. From naturally derived plant-based skincare to those made without the use of harmful chemicals that can do more harm than good to the skin, natural skincare is a thriving industry that seeks to provide customers with safe alternatives to the mass produced skincare products from major corporations. Honey House Naturals is one of these companies that wants to give its customers the high-quality skincare products that can enhance their overall health and beauty.

The story of how Honey House Naturals got its start is a unique one. It all began on a farm near Puget Sound, Washington, where Ruth Willis, a.k.a. “Queen Bee,” began keeping bees to enhance the fruit trees in her family’s backyard orchard. The bees began producing delicious honey, that Ruth began to sell at the local farmer’s market. But Ruth saw the potential in these bees and the honey they were producing and believed that their honey could be used for so much more.

Ruth found out exactly what this honey could do when one of her friends came to her with severely dry and cracked skin on their hands. This is how the idea for Honey House Naturals’ very first Bee Bar came about. The Bee Bar is a concentrated lotion bar made of pure beeswax and healing emollients. The Bee Bar was a success, and treated her friend’s damaged skin perfectly, restoring the softness and natural beauty of her skin within no time.

After succeeding at her local farmer’s market for many years, Ruth decided to take her business to the world. Since 1994, this 100% woman-owned company has been following their motto of “Natural, Nurturing, Unique” skincare and providing amazing products to customers who are looking for high-end, natural skincare products. They believe the purest values of skincare are integrity, purity, reverence, and health, and when your customers try their unique products, they’ll see exactly what those values mean.

Bee Bars

Honey House Naturals’ first and most popular product is their Bee Bar. The Bee Bar is a solid bar of lotion that is perfect for anyone suffering from dry skin and eczema. The bar is warmed by the hands to release the healing essential oils and butter, but it won’t dry out like most bars of soap. It comes in a variety of refreshing scents, like Vanilla, Lavender, and Spring Meadow, and with normal daily use, can last approximately six months.

Royal Bee Foot Bar

Do you have customers who have tired, dry, and worn out feet? Introduce them to the awesome Royal Bee Foot Bar. This amazing lotion is packaged in a 2.5 oz twist-up tube applicator, making it easy to apply it to any problem areas on the skin. It’s made especially with foot care in mind and contains organic coconut oil, almond oil, shea butter, organic palm wax, lanolin, organic argan oil, and Honey House Naturals’ special Honey House fusion of honey extract, propolis extract, pollen extract, and beeswax. It also contains deoplex, a natural antibacterial odor eliminator, so your customers can keep their feet smelling and feeling great.

Lip Butters

Let’s not forget the lips as well. Lipcare is often an overlooked part of skincare, but it’s one of the most important places to keep moisturized. No one likes dry, cracked lips, and Honey House Naturals Lip Butter will keep lips looking, and feeling fresh. The Lip Butter Tubes come in 11 wonderful flavors, like Apple Pear and Peppermint.

Bee Butter Cream

If your customers are looking for great skincare in a cream form than Honey House Naturals has exactly the right product. Their Bee Butte Cream is perfect for massaging into dry and damaged skin and is made from honey, beeswax, and royal jelly, also known as the “nectar of youth” for the Queen Bee. The 8 oz. tub of Bee Butter Cream helps to restore the natural moisture of your skin, and comes in four scents: honey, citrus, vanilla and natural.

Honey Blossom Soap

Honey Blossom Soap isn’t like very other soap out there. While most soaps clean your skin and leave you smelling fresh, they often times leave your skin feeling dry and moistureless. Not Honey Blossom Soap. This fantastic product gets you smelling fresh and clean, without stripping your body of the natural oils that keep it feeling smooth. It’s made from royal jelly, shea butter, and honey, with added Vitamin E, and olive oil. Take a whiff of their heavenly honey, citrus, or lavender fragrances!

Bee Manly Organic Beard Balm and Beard Elixirs

Last but certainly not least, we can’t forget about the men! Men care just as much, sometimes even more, about their skin than most people think. That’s why Honey House Naturals has its own selection of manly scents and products, called the Bee Manly product line! Honey House makes three fantastic products for men, the Bee Manly Foot Bar, Bee Manly Beard Elixir, and the Bee Manly Beard Balm. These products will keep a man’s beard looking soft, moisturized, and manageable! Not only are they great for the skin, they also come in a selection of super manly scents, like Smoky Cedar, Brisk Citrus, Rugged Mint, and Naked (a no-fragrance, natural scent).

Honey House Naturals knows exactly what they’re doing when it comes to natural skincare. If you have customers that are looking for an alternative solution to their dry, cracked skin and eczema, or even male customers looking to freshen up their beards, Honey House Naturals has the high-end, natural products they crave! Check them out today, and see the difference that natural products can make on your customers’ skin!

by Leave a Comment

Vendor Spotlight

What started out as a small business that simply raised goats on a farm in Idaho has now become the primary means of income for stay-at-home-mom Hannah Hirst and her business, Elli-Rose Essentials.

Owner Hannah Hirst cites her own sensitive skin as one of the reasons Elli-Rose Essentials came to fruition. Since they already had the goats, they decided to utilize them as more than just pets and use the healing properties of goat’s milk to create their lotions and lip balm!\

Elli-Rose Essentials’ products are perfect for customers who have dry, itchy, or sensitive skin. They are also committed to providing customers with products that are hand-selected and lovingly cut, packaged and wrapped by hand. When you buy an Elli-Rose Essentials product, you know you’re getting something that was made with love.

Their most popular product is their Chubby Chap lip balm, an oversized stick of lip balm made with coconut oil, beeswax, honey, and fragrance essential oils. They are free from chemicals such as petroleum and phthalate. It’s a natural product that’s perfect for sensitive, dry, and cracked lips.

Chubby Chap

The Chubby Chap comes in a variety of scents and flavors, like Buttercream, Vanilla, Huckleberry, Peach Daiquiri, Pomegranate, Strawberry Banana, Jelly Bean, Caramel Apple, and Candy Cane! They also have an Original flavor, for those who just want a great lip balm without the flavor oils.

If you have customers who plan on being outside during the hot summer months, they’re going to need protection from the harsh UV rays of the Sun. If they buy a Chubby Chap, they’re in luck! Chubby Chap has three flavors of lip balms that contain SPF 15: Twisted Tangerine, Pina Colada, and Sunkissed Vanilla! Don’t worry about going to the beach on vacation, just pack a stick of Chubby Chap lip balm!

But it’s not just lips that are susceptible to dryness or sensitivity. That’s why Elli-Rose Essentials also makes a fantastic line of Goats Milk Lotion!

Their Goats Milk lotion has a thick consistency that leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, rejuvenated and healthy!

Goat's Milk Lotion

 

These lotions are made using a combination of goats milk, honey, shea butter, soybean oil, sunflower oil, and aloe. It’s a naturally-made moisturizer that is great for customers suffering from dry skin. Elli-Rose Essentials also uses honey in their lotions due to its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The shea butter adds extra moisturizing qualities.

The Original Goats Milk lotions have great scents, such as Lavender, Bahama Breeze, Sweet Vanilla, Cherry Almond, Pear Vanilla, and Sun & Sand. They also have great seasonal scents such as Cucumber, Island Kiss, Hot Apple Pie, and Gingerbread.

Julie started her business in 2002 in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and grew from a small home business, to a larger office business.

All The Best Ingredients

For example: their hand creams are concentrated and contain a high grade seed oil called Meadowfoam.

Fresh From The Valley

If there’s one thing customer’s love, it’s a perfectly roasted coffee bean. And isn’t finding what customer’s love and providing it to them the basic job description of a small business owner? Still, finding the perfect bean isn’t as easy as it sounds. But don’t worry, we’ve already done the work for you.

It’s time to check out Baird Rock Farm!

The Secret is in The Roast

When it comes to roasting coffee beans, quality must always trump quantity. At least that’s how owner Rebecca Baird sees it. She takes the necessary time to slow roast every batch to bring out that full-bodied caramel flavor.

Many roasters will crank the oven over 500 degrees and have a batch of roasted beans in fifteen minutes, but Rebecca feels that this quick roasting method has a negative impact on flavor. She instead lets her beans roast at a low temperature for a full half hour, and then incrementally increases the temperature over time until she has reached the desired level of roast (light, medium, dark or espresso).

The process takes longer, but the difference in flavor is significant.

And even better, each order is roasted when you make it, not before. This ensures fresh beans with optimal flavor and aroma.

Flavors Abound

So what kinds of flavors are available? Plenty, and each is carefully roasted to perfection. Not to mention that most of them are available in whatever roast level you prefer.

Try the mouth-pleasing Cinnamon and Hazelnut, the perfect Coconut Creme or the incomparable Organic Bali Blue Moon which contains woody, smokey, earthy, chocolate and cherry notes. The options are varied and they are all amazing!

Beyond Coffee

But this company doesn’t just provide coffee. Are your customers looking for bar soap with the fresh scent of raspberry and peach? How about pro-vitamin B lotion with shea butter, cocoa butter and argon oil? You’ll find all of these and so much more when you shop their beauty lines and DIY beauty accessories.

And they use the same standards of quality with their beauty lines as they do with their coffee. Rebecca said,

“My greatest concern is how the product works for the customer.”

If you are looking to carry amazing coffee or wonderful beauty products, head over to Baird Rock Farm today!
