Beekeeper’s Daughter owner Ashlee Strange handmakes all her products. Growing up in a family of beekeepers, she’s always had an affinity for bee by-products. After having children and deciding to use natural products on their skin, she came back to bees.
“The most important properties of my skincare are the bee by-products,” said Strange. “The benefits they have for skin are incredible.” The Manuka honey, bee pollen and beeswax Strange uses have effects ranging from anti-bacterial through to anti-ageing – and they promote wound healing, too.
Strange initially made products for herself but was soon inundated with requests from friends and family. The business has grown since then, with a wide range of products available for maternity and baby shoppers alongside traditional skincare.
“Bees are my family’s business, and natural skincare is my way of sharing the extraordinary healing and skins soothing by-products of the bees with others,” said Strange. Pregnancy is a delicate time, and with increased blood flow and stretched skin infused, beneficial skincare is hugely important.
Beekeeper’s Daughter’s maternity range offers nursing balm, sunscreen, and a body oil among other healing products.
