I received the Bee Butter from Rain’s new Bee Essential Remedies range at the fabulous Rain Africa event held at Platbos Forest in April.
I’m sick (and feeling very sorry for myself at the moment) and I’m sitting at my desk, spraying myself with my beautiful Bush Olive Tree Mist, dreaming about being back at Platbos. It makes me feel better.
Okay, that’s out of my system… let me get to the point of this post: the Bee Butter.
Rain Africa has a new range which harnesses the active properties of honey, propolis and beeswax.
‘Honey is packed with Vitamin B and C as well as amino acids and the essential minerals calcium, copper, magnesium and iron. It has powerful free radical scavenging properties due to phenolic and non-phenolic antioxidants. It promotes healthy skin, attracts moisture, soothes, softens and heals.
Beeswax forms the rich, creamy, moisturizing base of most of the range. This super-insulator acts both as a vehicle to carry moisture and botanical actives into the skin and as a highly effective barrier to seal them in.
Propolis is the substance bees use to seal their hives. It has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, soothes inflammation and is ideal for treating burns, skin ailments and lacerations.’
Included in this range is the Bee Butter, hand wash, hand lotion, scented sachets and candles and bath salts.
The Bee Butter is beautifully scented, rich and creamy. The nourishing cream sinks into my skin and leaves it soothed and moisturised. I’ve decided to keep this pretty pot on my desk and to use the butter for my hands (that are really dry and sensitive because of the sudden change in weather). I love that it’s incredibly moisturising, but it doesn’t leave a greasy film on my skin.
Another winner from Rain!
