Facial oils have an image problem.

Say the words and people picture something thick and shiny. Clogged pores, a slick on the pillowcase, that just-deep-fried feeling. No wonder so many give them a wide berth.

But not all oils are cut from the same cloth. The difference between a heavy one and a feather-light one? It's the difference between a greasy blanket and pure silk.

We've unpacked exactly why on the blog this week. The short version is that the oils you choose change everything.

It's our latest read, and you'll find it in our Beehive Blog, which you'll find here: https://beautyandthebees.com.au/non-greasy-facial-oils/

Still can't name a favourite? We've made that delightfully easy.

Meet The Soap Lover's Dozen. Twelve of our little 30g bars in one box for 10% off, and a permanent new fixture in the lineup (not a here-today-gone-tomorrow thing).

It's the loveliest way to work your way through the range, one shower at a time, until you find the bar you keep coming back to. Buy Better, Buy Less. Just in its most tryable form.

Light enough to arrive as a featherweight little parcel, generous enough to share (if you really must). It's on our website now. 🐝

"Your morning toast just got a major upgrade... That jar of Leatherwood honey in your pantry? It's not just a sweetener. Scientists are discovering it's basically liquid medicine with antimicrobial powers that rival expensive pharmaceuticals.

We're talking wound healing, digestive health, hangover cures, and antioxidant levels that put superfoods to shame. Even diabetics can enjoy it thanks to its low glycemic rating.

Ready to discover why scientists are scrambling to unlock the secrets of this ""cure-all"" honey before it's too late?

Help us settle something...

We've been making these bars by hand in Tassie for over thirty years, and we still can't agree on a favourite around here. So we're handing it to the experts... you.

Drop your go-to soap below. Bonus points if you can tell us why. There's nothing we love more than knowing what wins people over. 🐝

Made for newborns. Adopted by their parents. We're not surprised.

Our Leatherwood Honey Baby Cream Bath is the same iconic, milky formula as our adult Leatherwood Honey Cream Bath, just unscented. Originally crafted for delicate baby skin, but loved just as deeply by mums, dads, and anyone whose skin prefers things gentle, fragrance-free and beautifully simple.

Here's what one of our lovely customers had to say about it... "Our little Jimmy was born on Monday and enjoyed his first bath with it on Wednesday. I used your products with my daughters 14 and 11 years ago. It's just so amazing!" ~ Kate C.

And it gets even better... Until Monday 8 June, every bath product order comes with a free 30g bestselling soap tucked into the parcel. We'll choose a bestseller we think you'll love. Whether you're treating yourself or someone who's earned a long soak, this is a lovely week to do it.

Our Leatherwood Honey Cream Bath was originally created for the St David's Suite at The Tasman, Hobart's award-winning Marriott Luxury Collection hotel, to grace its $12,000 hand-built Blackwood bath.

It's a rich, milky emulsion of Tasmanian Leatherwood honey and skin-conditioning plant oils, scented with natural beeswax absolute, leaving your skin feeling satin smooth and soft. Two or three capfuls under running water, and you're somewhere else entirely.

And until Monday 8 June, every bath product order comes with a free 30g bestselling soap tucked into the parcel. Our pick, your warming-up gift.

Run the water. Light a candle. Pour a few capfuls. Sink in.

There's a particular kind of quiet that real lavender makes in a room. The synthetic kind just fakes it.

This is the bar we made for slow evenings. Tasmanian lavender essential oil and actual flower petals (you can see them folded through the bar) bound up in a honey-rich, creamy soap that lathers like a quiet exhale.

The scent is the real thing, herbal, clean, faintly green. It doesn't shout from the shelf or cling to a room like air freshener does. It just settles softly on your skin and lingers there long after the towel.

A small pre-sleep ritual that doesn't ask much of you. (Also comes as a 30g mini if you'd like to test it first.)

There's a particular kind of cold that settles in around this time of year... The kind that gets into your bones a few hours before sunset, the kind no woolly jumper or second cuppa can quite shake.

We have a remedy for that. It's old, it's quiet, and it's been doing the work since people first had bathtubs.

A long, slow soak.

Not a quick hop in and out. A proper one. Water nearly too hot, candle lit, phone in another room, the kind that goes from warming your hands to warming your week.
Bath

To help you enjoy this life pleasure, until Monday 8 June, we're tucking a free 30g bestselling soap (we'll pick a beauty for you) into every order that includes one of our all natural beloved bath products. A small, sweet way to warm up this winter. No code needed, we'll handle it at our end.

Best place to keep a warming balm in winter? The coffee table.

Not the bathroom cabinet. Not the bedside drawer. The coffee table. Right there beside the mug, within arm's reach at the end of a long, cold day.

Because by the time the laptop's shut and the TV's on, the last thing you want is to go hunting through cupboards. You want to twist the lid off our Tasmanian Tiger Massage Balm, warm a little between your hands, and let the wintergreen, beeswax and Kunzea get to work on the shoulders that have been holding the day up since 7am.

A small thing. A useful place for it.
