And, of course, Champlain Valley Raw Honey and Beeswax take center stage!

Why Beeswax and Raw Honey?

Both beeswax and raw honey are powerhouse ingredients when it comes to skincare:

✔ Beeswax creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture.
✔ Raw honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture to the skin while offering antibacterial benefits.
✔ Coconut oil deeply hydrates and softens.

By using pure, natural ingredients, you can ditch store-bought lip balms filled with artificial fragrances and preservatives.
