Sweet Skin Secrets: The Benefits of Raw Honey + 3 Simple DIY Recipes

At Shade Tree Naturals, we believe the best skincare starts with the simplest ingredients—straight from nature. One of our all-time favorites? Raw honey. 🍯

This golden goodness isn’t just delicious—it’s completely unprocessed and packed with powerful skin-loving nutrients that hydrate, heal, and protect.

Let’s explore why raw honey deserves a permanent place in your skincare routine—and how you can use it in a few simple, natural DIY recipes at home.

🌿 Why Raw Honey Is a Natural Skincare Hero

  • Ultra-Hydrating: Raw honey is a natural humectant, which means it draws moisture into the skin—leaving it soft, plump, and dewy.
  • Naturally Antibacterial: Its antimicrobial properties help prevent breakouts and soothe inflamed or irritated skin gently and effectively.
  • Gentle Exfoliation: Unlike processed honey, raw honey contains natural enzymes that gently remove dull, dead skin without stripping moisture.
  • Antioxidant-Rich: Raw honey is full of antioxidants that help fight environmental damage and support a glowing, youthful complexion.

🍊 Featured Favorite: Honey Vanilla Orange 

This warm, comforting seasonal blend has become a customer favorite for a reason. We’ve paired the skin-loving benefits of raw honey with sweet vanilla and bright orange essential oil for a scent that smells like sunshine and feels like home.

Available in:

  • Handmade Soap – Gently cleanses while nourishing your skin
  • Whipped Body Butter – Creamy, rich hydration that sinks in beautifully
  • Lip Balm – Softens and protects with a hint of citrusy sweetness
  • Sugar Scrub – Smooths and polishes dry skin with raw sugar + oils

This seasonal collection is only here for Spring and Summer!
