🌿🐝 Why is my Mini Me Pamper Kit a bestseller? 🐝🌿

I think there are a few reasons this little box of botanical goodness has become one of my bestsellers…

Firstly, it’s a little spa moment at home. A chance to slow down, indulge your skin and enjoy a touch of aromatherapy without needing a whole bathroom cabinet full of products. ✨

But it’s also particularly lovely if you have sensitive or easily unsettled skin.

Trying a new skincare range can feel like a bit of a commitment when you don't know how your skin is going to feel about it. So I've created the Mini Me Pamper Kit with smaller sizes of some of my favourite products — giving you the chance to discover and enjoy the range before investing in full-size pots and bottles. 🌱

At £20, it’s a lovely way to dip your toes into apple & bee, see which products your skin loves and find your own little favourites.

And, of course, it makes a gorgeous gift too. 💚

Everything is handcrafted by me in small batches, using carefully chosen natural, botanical and vegan ingredients, with no unnecessary fillers, preservatives or synthetics.

Because sometimes the best way to find your skincare favourites is simply to try a little bit of everything. 🌿

✨ A little box of self-care.
A gentle introduction to botanical skincare.
And perhaps the beginning of a few new favourites. 🐝

🌿 Human-made is the new luxury…
There’s something rather special about something made by hand.
At apple & bee, every product begins with carefully chosen botanical ingredients and is hand-poured in small batches.
But it doesn’t stop there…
🌿 Formulated and blended by hand
🐝 Each jar filled and finished by hand
🏷️ Labels carefully hand-sewn
🪵 Wooden pots and lids, beautifully engraved
📦 Every order individually wrapped and packed
🤎 And every little detail finished with care
In a world of mass production, automation and more, faster, cheaper… I think there’s something wonderfully luxurious about slowing down and making things properly.
You’re not just buying a skincare product.
You’re buying the time, care, knowledge and hands that went into making it. 🤎
Human-made is the new luxury.
And it’s only going to get more valuable.

💋🌿 A little something new is coming…

I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes on some new lip care treats for apple & bee… 🐝

✨ A botanical Lip Polisher with soft sugar and delicate poppy seeds to gently exfoliate and smooth the lips
✨ Limited-edition tinted lip balms made with beautiful natural colour from alkanet & madder root
✨ Nourishing botanical ingredients

Soft, smooth lips, a hint of natural colour and a little bit of botanical magic. 🌿💋

I’m still testing, tweaking and generally faffing until they’re just right 😂

But I couldn’t keep them a secret any longer…

Coming soon. Lots of love Clare.x 💚🐝

✨ BRING THE SPA HOME ✨

Being a beauty therapist and aromatherapist for over 35 years, I’ve always believed that taking time to care for yourself shouldn’t be something you only do when you visit a spa.

Sometimes, you just need to create your own little spa moment at home. 🛁🌿

That’s where apple & bee botanical skincare comes in…

Beautiful, botanical, aromatherapy-inspired skincare, created to turn those everyday routines into something a little more special.

Light a candle, run a warm bath, put on your favourite music, make yourself a cup of tea ☕️ (I’m definitely a tea girl!) and give yourself a little uninterrupted time.

Massage your favourite oil into your skin, take a few deep breaths and let the beautiful natural aromas do their thing.

Your very own spa in a jar… right at home. 🤎

Because self-care doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive or reserved for special occasions.

Sometimes it’s simply about slowing down, breathing deeply and giving yourself the same care you so freely give to everyone else.

HELLO SEPTEMBER… 🍂
1st September already! Where has this year gone? 🥹
The evenings are starting to draw in, the nights are getting cooler and before we know it, we’ll be lighting the fires, reaching for cosy blankets and settling into those darker evenings. 🕯️🔥🍁
It’s almost time for cosy season… and your skin might need a little preparation too. 🤎
As the temperature drops and we start turning up the heating indoors, our skin can feel the difference. Cooler air outside + warm, dry air inside can leave skin feeling drier, tighter and a little less comfortable.
This is the perfect time to start thinking about nourishing and protecting your skin barrier, before the really cold weather arrives.
✨ Swap lighter textures for richer nourishment where your skin needs it.
✨ Keep your skin beautifully moisturised.
✨ Don’t forget your neck, hands and lips.
✨ And give your skin a little extra love at night.
My apple & bee botanical oils are perfect for this seasonal transition — beautiful, concentrated, waterless formulations designed to give your skin some much-needed nourishment. 🌿🐝
So… September, we’re ready for you. 🍂
Cosy nights, glowing skin and lots of little autumn rituals ahead. 🤎
Who else is secretly VERY excited for the ‘ber’ months? 🙋‍♀️🍁🎃🕯️

The little bee sat upon the sunflower made me smile. 🐝🌻 To the tiny pollinators doing the biggest jobs… thank you, bees. A little reminder to appreciate the creatures that help our flowers bloom, our gardens grow, and our world stay beautiful. 🌼💛
At apple & bee botanical skincare the bees hold such a special place in our heart and brand. From nature’s beauty to the importance of protecting our planet, we’re forever grateful for these little busy workers. 💛
Here’s to planting more flowers, supporting nature, and showing kindness to the bees that give so much. Clare.x 🐝🌿

🍏🐝 Where it all began…

This little pot holds a very special place in my heart because my Nourishing Lip Balm was the very first product I ever formulated for myself — 20 years ago! 🤍

Long before apple & bee existed, I was in my little world of oils, butters and botanicals, experimenting and creating.

I wanted something simple, natural and genuinely nourishing — something to soften and protect dry lips without unnecessary ingredients.

I had no idea then where that little lip balm would eventually lead me.

Fast forward 20 years and that same love of creating, formulating and working with beautiful botanical ingredients has grown into apple & bee botanical skincare. 🌿🐝

From one little lip balm… to a whole range of botanical skincare, made in small batches with so much care.

And I still get that little feeling of “I actually made this!” every time I create something new. 🥰

It might be one of my smallest products, but it represents the beginning of a journey that has taken me somewhere I never imagined.

20 years in the making… and still creating. 🌿❤️

Nourishing Lip Balm • £12

100% natural • waterless • vegan • handmade in small batches
