  My Handcrafted Honey Oatmeal Soap Is spectacular for all skin types, and it is especially terrific for sensitive skin!  I use a great deal of our own raw honey, harvested from our own beehives, in my soap making.  Each bar averages between one and two teaspoons of that honey.  In addition, there is glycerin, buttermilk, vitamin E and pure essential oils.  Use it to cleanse twice daily, and before any home facial mask treatments.   Honey Oatmeal Soap Mix Your Soothing Mask First, place your favorite toner or witch hazel in the refrigerator to chill.   About The Facial Mask This mask contains soothing oats, cleansing and softening buttermilk whipping cream, along with skin smoothing yogurt.

  It’s a sweet job! About 3.5 years ago, my husband started beekeeping. It’s a secondary business so it’s been something of a time-management issue, but here we are, with an established company that’s doing well.  Coastal Honey Bees LLC, Stuart ,FL, is our sweet enterprise. By the end of 2020 topped 100 hives. Locations include an apiary in Hobe Sound, FL of about 20 hives. The remainder are part of our Pollenation Services, exclusively for high-end private golf courses, with the majority placed along the Treasure Coast, and about a dozen hives on golf courses on the West Coast of Fl.  I have been successfully crafting honey soaps for 2 years and my customers love them. Of course, our own raw honey, from our very busy little bees, is in every bar!  We do not sell honey retail. But you can buy my soaps here: Coastal Honey Bees On Etsy Stay happy!
