Simply Bee, a family orientated business, produces amazing natural products made with Fynbos beeswax, propolis, and honey, mixed with essential oils.
"Natural ingredients are profoundly effective, stimulate your senses, are better for the environment and are beneficial to your overall well-being.
Natural ingredients nurture the skin with wholesome nutrients that the body chemistry is familiar with, thus working in harmony with the body. Simply Bee believes that natural ingredients must come from a renewable and plentiful resource found in nature, yet with absolutely no petroleum compounds.
Ingredients are only a part of what makes a product natural. Equally important is how those ingredients are processed. Simply Bee's goal is to maximize purity without negative effects on the ingredients. Simply put, our goal is to keep natural ingredients, natural. "
Helena and Pierre van der Westhuizen, owners of Simply Bee, believe their mission is to not only cultivate awareness of the benefits of using natural beeswax products but to also aid in bee conservation.
Their beehives, as began by their father, has provided them with the foundation to not only create these amazing products but to also continue a wonderful family legacy.
Simply Bee’s products offer all natural handmade products, free from harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances and parabins, making it safe and environmentally friendly.
Their bee hives are in Fynbos areas around Hopefield (in the heart of the famous West Coast fynbos region) where there is no commercial farming within the immediate vicinity. Therefore, Simply Bee honey, beeswax and propolis are all 100% organic. Their bees are not used for commercial pollination either, which eliminates the negative effects of exposure to chemicals. Their hives are all placed on stands, which also make them badger-friendly.
Simply Bee started off with only five products in their line, due to public demand the line has now grown to over forty products in a relatively short period. These include body lotions, hand cream, foot balm, ointments, shampoo, soaps, facial skin products and polishes.
Simply Bee sent me some amazing spoils!

I received the following goodies:
Simply Bee Hand & Body Lotion - boasts the most amazing honey aroma and it makes your skin feel silky smooth.
Honey Hand Wash - this is a luscious hand wash with added honey which feels wonderful on the skin too.
Lip Balm Stick - This natural lip balm is loaded with coconut oil, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, to nourish, condition and soften lips. (Definitely going to come in handy this winter season!)
Daily Moisturiser - A light-weight natural moisturiser specially formulated with beeswax and some of nature’s most nutritious substances such as Sweet Almond, Grape seed and Lavender oil. I have been using this for the past couple of days and I must say my face looks and feels a lot more hydrated and vibrant!
AND of course I received some delicious Pure Honey! (My absolute favourite!)
Here are some interesting facts from Simply Bee on why honey is so great for you:
• Honey is a great source of simple sugars, minerals and vitamins. • Honey provides fuel to the brain and energy as well as aiding digestion. • Honey acts as a sedative, relieving insomnia. • Despite being sweet, honey blocks the growth of oral bacteria and tooth decay. • It also kills “bad” stomach bacteria. • Honey treats burns, infected wounds, ulcers and most allergies. • It can cure persistent coughs, sore throats and blocked noses. • It also helps to regulate blood pressure and slows oxidation of “bad” LDL cholesterol—protecting you against heart disease. • Helps to fight diseases of the nervous system. • Aids in preventing osteoporosis, • Promotes fertility • Helps in the protection against cancer.
