More than just honey

It seemed natural that Johnston Honey should grow to include other great products made with honey and beeswax. After all, half the fun of having a business is to coming up with new ideas and package them!

Body Soaps

Honey is great moisturizer, so it seemed natural to create a line of honey-containing Body Soaps. Carefully selected rich natural oils, including olive, coconut, palm and sweet almond, as well as cocoa butter are hand-blended with Johnston Honey to produce a soap with incomparable moisturizing qualities. Johnston Honey's Body Soap now comes in 10 great scents. Johnston Honey's Body Soap produces a rich lather that soothes and protects even the most sensitive skin.

Kid's Soap

Since the adult scents didn't interest the children, we developed 7 children's scents, and called it Johnston Honey's Kid's Soap. Adults can use it too, especially if they like chocolate!

Helping Hand Cream

Beeswax and honey have been used for centruries by the medical profession as an inert protective skin covering. We decided to produce a hypoallergenic hand cream for gardeners. We called it Johnston Honey's Helping Handcream. It contains pure Minnesota beeswax and was developed to enhance skin suppleness and prevent chapping. It is amazing how well it works! After several years of testing, Johnston Honey's Helping Handcream has proven extraordinarily effective from head to toe for all types of skin problems.

Beeswax Candles

Developing a suitable beeswax candle was a real challenge! Beeswax offers a natural light, without the noxious chemicals produced by paraffin. It burns longer and is naturally dripless if the candle is built right. Since a scent is nice (but may adversely affect those with allergies), some candles were scented with vanilla, cappuccino, apple cinnamon and lavender.
