What do natural little bee do?
Natural Little Bee is a skincare company Based in the Scottish Borders. We predominantly use natural, organic, unrefined & where possible local ingredients to make a range of natural bee products. We use biodegradable labels & recycleable packaging to ensure we leave a kinder footprint to our planet.
Our products include;
- natural balms & salves

-cold pressed soaps
-natural facial serums
-chamois balms
- baby products
- therapeutic grade skincare (profession cycling teams, clinics for sports & clinical care i.e radio therapy)
All of our products contain a combination of either local beeswax or honey- this is, we believe the key ingredients to why our products really benefit the skin. Both beeswax & honey is still used today in hospitals in medicinal terms. Just as it was used in for example; wound healing in world war 1 & 2 with it’s natural healing properties. The combination of our bee ingredients & natural, organic unrefined butters & non diluted oils are primarily formulated to soothe and re-hydrate your skin. The moto here really is why re-invent the wheel. So in a nutshell we don’t dilute oils and we don’t use harsh chemical based ingredients.
Why do our skincare products contain beeswax and Honey?
Beeswax and Honey are amazing ingredients, and the ‘Big Skincare’ manufacturers know this which is why a surprising number of products that claim to be natural, actually feature ‘synthetic beeswax and honey???’, water and cheaper oils which act as a thin film on skin rather than an effective barrier. Beeswax and Honey are a humectant- this means it helps your skin to absorb and retain moisture to keep it from drying out. To boot it’s packed with natural antioxidants, has antimicrobial properties (it inhibits the growth and reproduction of microorganisms) and it is an antiseptic (It literally destroys microbes, inhibits their growth preventing and even counteracts their pathogenic action). These super properties mean it acts as an active protective barrier while allowing the skin to breathe, repair, soothe and nourish.
Unsere natürlichen Hautpflegeprodukte sind in ausgewählten Geschäften in den Scottish Borders erhältlich. Hier können Sie einen unserer handgefertigten Holzständer bewundern. Dort finden Sie eine Auswahl unserer Honigseifen, -balsame und -salben in allen Geschmacksrichtungen, darunter Natur (allergenfrei), Honig-Mandel und Orangenblüte-Honig.
Honig ist ein Superfood und hat erstaunliche Eigenschaften, die sowohl auf Ihrer Haut als auch in Ihrer Nahrung wirksam sind. Der Honig und das Bienenwachs in unseren naturallittlebee Honigseifen, Lippenbalsamen und Handsalben werden alle im Umkreis von 8 Kilometern im schottischen Tweed Valley geerntet.
Warum sind Bienen so wichtig?
Etwa 90 % der Wildpflanzen und 75 % der weltweit führenden Nutzpflanzen sind auf die Bestäubung durch Tiere angewiesen. Somit ist etwa ein Bissen unserer Nahrung auf Bestäuber wie Bienen angewiesen (WWF, 2023).
Wir filtern lokal gewonnenes Bienenwachs, damit es in allen Produkten hier bei Natural Little Bee verwendet werden kann. Das sind also Salben, Chamois und Babybalsame.
Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf der Seite „Unsere lokalen Bienen“.
Bienenwachs ist ein erstaunliches Produkt. Es hat viele Eigenschaften, die zur Verbesserung und Erhaltung der Hautgesundheit beitragen. Es ist hervorragend für Menschen mit trockener Haut geeignet. Wir verwenden Honig und Bienenwachs in unserem gesamten Sortiment an Seifen, Balsamen und Salben.
Why did you start Natural Little Bee?
The skin products for adults are not actually our first products nor the reason that Natural Little Bee exists. It actually started thanks to the founders Daughter, who suffered with sore and irritated skin from birth. After working through all the chemical based products that did nothing for her skin we arrived at a mix of Shea, Coconut and our super ingredient Beeswax which had an almost immediate impact on her skin and if it works for babies imagine what it can do for adults.
We are pleased to have gold award winning products and positive reviews from companies such as Green Parent Magazine & Bike Radar. Moreso, we are pleased to have wonderful reviews from customers and repeat custom which has been down to the tradition method of word of mouth. We are always excited to continue to develop new formulas for people who have difficult skin conditions as it’s the main reason why we established Natural Little Bee. Please do get in touch if you have any questions regarding any of our products. I have used the ethos that every formula should be kind to babies skin- therefore it should be kind to yours too
