SUMMER LIP PROTECTION

BEE HIVE GOLD SUPER HYDRATING LIP BALM

Now that we are in the heat of summer, dry chapped lips can become of a particular concern to all sun worshipers across the northern hemisphere. The sun is now at it's highest most point in the sky which means the effects of it's intensity on our skin, hair and lips can rob necessary moisture from those areas of our delicate bodies.

Hydrating those areas is extremely important to keeping them on lips because beeswax locks in moisture, fosters cells and protects skin from damaging environmental factors.

The Amazing Bee

2012-06-13T09:06:00.002-07:00

The amazing Honey Bee can fly up to 15 miles per hour traveling up to six miles. Their buzz sound is created by it's wings stroking so fast, about 200 beats per second.

A worker bee will produce only about 1/12 teaspoon of honey during it's lifetime visiting between 50 and 100 flowers during each collection trip.

The antioxidant "pinocembrin" is associated with improved brain functioning. Interestingly, Honey is the ONLY food that contains "pinocembrin". Honey also contains all of the subtances, enzymes, minerals, water and vitamins necessary to sustain life. It is only food that does.

The bee is a fascinating creature.
