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
- lotion bars & liquid hand & body lotion
-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.
Nos produits de soins naturels sont disponibles dans une sélection de boutiques des Scottish Borders. Vous pouvez admirer l'un de nos présentoirs en bois, fabriqués artisanalement localement. Vous y découvrirez une sélection de savons, baumes et onguents au miel, déclinés dans tous nos parfums : naturel (sans allergènes), miel et amande, et fleur d'oranger et miel.
Le miel est un superaliment aux propriétés étonnantes, aussi bien pour la peau que pour vos aliments. Le miel et la cire d'abeille de nos savons, baumes à lèvres et baumes pour les mains naturallittlebee sont tous récoltés dans un rayon de 8 km de chez nous, dans la vallée de la Tweed, en Écosse.
Pourquoi les abeilles sont-elles si importantes ?
90 % des plantes sauvages et 75 % des principales cultures mondiales dépendent de la pollinisation animale. Ainsi, environ une bouchée de notre nourriture dépend de pollinisateurs comme les abeilles (WWF, 2023).
Nous filtrons la cire d'abeille locale afin qu'elle puisse être utilisée dans tous les produits Natural Little Bee : baumes, peaux de chamois et baumes pour bébés.

La cire d'abeille est un produit exceptionnel, doté de nombreuses propriétés qui contribuent à améliorer et à préserver la santé de la peau. Elle est idéale pour les peaux sèches. Nous utilisons du miel et de la cire d'abeille dans toute notre gamme de savons, baumes et onguents.
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
