Honey Care Beehive Botanicals Review
On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today. The information presented on the site about each of the products assessed has been obtained from publicly available sources. Those critics and this web site are sponsored by Rauscher | Bekke, manufacturers of Dermapril-SP. The information on this website is intended to inform and educate consumers.

Overview

Honey Care Beehive Botanicals are a line of skin care products manufactured and developed by—no surprises here—Beehive Botanicals. This company has been producing bee-centric products since 1972, and is located in Hayward, Wisconsin. In addition to skin care products, Beehive Botanicals also produce dietary supplements and a line of hair care products. All of this company’s products are made in the US and are animal cruelty free.

According to the manufacturer, Honey Care Beehive Botanicals gain their benefits from the bee-related ingredients that are incorporated into all of these formulas. Honey Silk is the brand name that Beehive Botanicals use for their skin products. Honey Care Beehive Botanicals manufacture five separate skin care products: a moisturizing facial cleanser, a hydrating cream, a night cream, a honey and cornmeal bath bar and a honey and pollen body moisturizer. It is suggested that using all of these products as a regimen will produce the best results, but that is not required to see benefits.

Product Details

The Honey Care Beehive Botanicals Moisturizing Facial Cleanser appears to be one of the more promising of the company’s skin care products for customers looking for anti-aging benefits. This product promises users softer skin, and a gentle skin cleansing experience. The moisturizing facial cleanser is also ph balanced, making it suitable for all skin types. Additionally, this product claims to function as a gentle alternative to harsh makeup removers and to offer some protection for your skin against environmental pollutants and free radicals.

The full ingredient list in Honey Care Beehive Botanicals Moisturizing Facial Cleanser is as follows: De-ionized water, Sodium lauraminodipropionate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Safflower Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth 20, Sorbitol, Peg 40 Cas Acid, Bee Propolis, Carbomer, Orange Oil, Diazolidinyl urea, Methyl Paraben, Sodium hydroxide

We were happy to see that Beehive Botanicals provide a full ingredient list for most, if not all, of their products on the official company website.

The Good

  • Products are animal cruelty free.
  • Products are available for order from official website. Ingredient lists are provided for all products.

The Bad

  • No products offered by this manufacturer are specifically targeted to fight aging.
  • Products contain parabens, which have been linked to contact dermatitis in some users.
  • Official website is not very informative about many of the bee-related ingredients found in their products.
  • No free trial sample or money back guarantee is offered.

The Bottom Line

We like the attitude they seem to have over at Beehive Botanicals; the official website gives the impression that this manufacturer cares what goes into its products, and also cares about smoothly integrating their manufacturing process with the environment. Unfortunately, we can’t really recommend Beehive Botanicals to our readers who are specifically looking for anti-wrinkle products. The company has several skin care products, but none devoted to fighting the signs of aging. Also, the official Beehive Botanicals website seems to assume that buyers are already completely familiar with their various bee ingredients and does not provide descriptions of what each ingredients does. If you’re looking to find out the difference between Bee Propolis and Bee Pollen, you’ll have to look elsewhere. This could definitely be a solid line of basic products, but if you’re looking for a dedicated wrinkle fighter, you probably want to keep looking.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
