Brighton Beekeeper creates artisanal skincare products from beeswax

A new line of beeswax-based skincare products has been launched by The Brighton Beekeeper, a local beekeeping business. Announced in September, the collection includes handmade body butters and balms made from cappings beeswax, a by-product of honey harvesting, combined with nourishing ingredients like shea, mango, and cocoa butters. The full range can be found at thebrightonbeekeeper.co.uk/collections/beeswax-skincare.

Jack Lockyer, the founder, emphasized the importance of both the beeswax and the accompanying ingredients, noting the significance of texture, scent, and overall experience in daily use products. As a family-run business, they take pride in crafting these items in Brighton, expanding their offerings beyond honey.
