The quiet helpers – unseen but essential.
While botanicals are the stars, some ingredients play vital supporting roles. Beeswax has been used since Egyptian times to seal, heal and protect; clays have purified skin in spa rituals since the Roman Empire. Zinc oxide, a natural mineral, shields skin from sun and irritation, while arrowroot has been used in South America for centuries to calm and absorb. Even upcycled coffee, once a discarded by-product, now energises skin with antioxidants while promoting sustainability. These are the humble but powerful allies that ensure every Bee Divine formula is safe, stable and effective.
