Simply Bee Wood Polish – 125 ml

The creators and owners of Simply Bee, Helena and Pierre van der Westhuizen, make it their mission to not only cultivate awareness of the benefits of using natural beeswax products but to also aid in bee conservation. Their journey into sustainable bee-keeping began with their father, who provided them with the foundation to not only create these products but to also continue a family legacy. Simply Bee’s products offer all natural handmade products, free from harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances and parabens. Making it safe and environmentally friendly. Being allergic to most cosmetics with synthetic ingredients and harsh preservatives, Helena has done much research, trials and studying of the bees and their products. This led to the beginning of Simply Bee, a range of natural, organic products for both the body and the home. Starting off with five products, they now offer 120 products including body lotions, hand cream, foot balm, ointments, shampoo, soaps, facial skin products and polishes. They strive to support our local suppliers, so their carrier and essential oil ingredients are bought from reputable local companies. Simply Bee is very fortunate to have their beehives in Fynbos rich areas around Hopefield, 140 km North of Cape Town, where there is no commercial farming within the immediate vicinity. Therefore, their honey, beeswax and propolis are all 100% organic. Their bees are not used for commercial pollination either, eliminating the negative effects of exposure to chemicals. Their hives are all placed on stands, which also makes them badger-friendly. The secret of a good product for the skin lies in the combination of good, natural ingredients with natural processes designed to maximise purity without damaging the ingredients. Natural ingredients are profoundly effective. They stimulate your senses, are better for the environment and beneficial to your overall well-being. Natural ingredients nurture the skin with wholesome nutrients that are familiar to the body’s chemistry, thus working in harmony with the body. The founders believe that natural ingredients must come from a renewable and plentiful resources found in nature, and contain absolutely no petroleum compounds. Equally important is how those ingredients are processed. Helena controls the manufacture of their products herself. Any processing, including distillation, condensation, extraction, steaming, and hydrolysis are kept to a minimum. Their goal is to maximise purity without negative effects on the ingredients – simply put: their goal is to keep natural ingredients natural. This ensures full retention of their beneficial properties.
