What's the Difference in our Royal Jelly Body Butters?
We have four luxurious Royal Jelly Body Butters - each with a different scent, formulated for hydrating different levels of sensitive, dry skin. Our award-winning Royal Jelly Body Butters protect your skin’s own natural moisture barrier. These creamy, rich formulas melt into dry skin with no greasy after-feel.
This formula is power-packed with four hive ingredients, ultra-rich butters, and hydrating essential oils. Cupuaçu, cocoa, and shea butters, as well as dry skin-softening pecan and peach kernel oils combine for deep hydration. Rich in vitamins and nutrients, we have four delicate formulas all made with Savannah Bee Honey.
Original: The Red Box

Rosemary Lavender: The Purple Box
Combining royal jelly and other hive treasures with the aroma therapeutic benefits of reviving rosemary and calming lavender essential oils, our signature formula body butter delivers deep nourishment and antioxidants to keep skin glowing and soft.
What are the Benefits of Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly is considered the most precious product of the beehive. It is a complex blend of lipids, proteins, vitamins, and amino acids - often taken as a supplement. These nutrients deeply moisturize dry skin and work to improve elasticity - which ultimately helps protect skin’s own natural moisture barriers from dehydration and inflammation.
What exactly is it?
Royal jelly earns its name being the exclusive diet of the queen bee. This food source is a vitamin-rich, creamy substance produced by worker bees mostly from pollen, enzymes, and some honey.
All baby bees are fed small amounts of royal jelly at birth. However, the future queen bee is fed this substance exclusively and in high quantities her entire life. The queen bee, who can lay up to 2,000 eggs/day, will grow to be much larger than the worker bees. Because of Royal jelly, the Queen Bee can live for six years. While worker bees live around six weeks during the summer.
How do we collect Royal Jelly?
Royal jelly is harvested by encouraging worker bees to produce queen bees through the use of movable frame hives. Beekeepers collect royal jelly from each individual queen honeycomb cell after about four days.
