I tried this cream hoping that it would soothe my itchy dry skin on my feet, legs and face. I’m amazed at how quickly it worked. I use the cream daily as an all purpose moisturizer, even as a night cream and my skin has never felt and looked better – Helen W

Directions for use:
The secret is to use sparingly on slightly damp skin to seal in moisture. The cream is extremely rich so needs to be worked in thoroughly and left for five minutes or so to absorb into skin. Unlike water based products that leave nothing on the skin, our slow-to-absorb formula means a long lasting protective moisturising barrier effect on the skin.

I love love LOVE this product. I have spent years and a small fortune trying moisturisers – only to find my skin didn’t feel “moisturised” after using them! I have used every “quality” product on the market, including many expensive salon-only products.
I discovered Beauty and the Bees by recommendation – and have never looked back. This moisturiser goes a long way, is very cost effective but most importantly leaves my skin feeling hydrated and comfortable. In conjunction with the rosewater spray, this is my “don’t leave home without it” product.

I have suffered with very dehydrated and sensitive skin for years and have searched and tried many facial moisturisers over those years, nothing is as fabulous as ultra rich leatherwood honey, olive oil and marigold. It is the ONLY moisturiser that I can apply once a day and not have to reapply during the day. The only thing that is missing that would make it perfect, is if it also had a natural SPF in it! Because at the moment I still have to also apply a clear zinc sunscreen, which apparently (according to my boyfriend) smells like old oily skin :0( so I don’t tend to use it much! Maybe Beauty and the Bees could look into creating this? Thanks for such a wonderful product, which not only is totally natural, but Tasmanian! (I’m a mad Tassie fan!)
Love Robyne

I am 39 years old and have always had dry, flaky skin. Your Ultra Rich cream is the only one I have found which keeps my skin hydrated and relatively wrinkle free. Whilst geranium and lavender essetial oils are amongst my favourites, I prefer the plain marigold, which just oozes natural goodness.
Thank you so much – I could not live without this decadent cream!

A beautiful rich, soft cream which I can use for any possible reason, to calm irritated or bites on skin, dry skin, have used it on dry lips. A really lovely product to use.

I stumbled upon this product whilst visiting Tasmania a couple of years ago, and have recommended it to all and sundry since.
I now have at least 6 other family and friends addicted to it, even die-hard chemical cream fans.
This cream is an absolutely amazing product.
I don’t think I knew what actually feeling ‘moisturised’ was until i used this cream.

I react to pretty well all commercially produced moisturisers and beauty products, but the Beauty and the Bees Honey & Olive (Marigold!) has never caused me one moment’s discomfort. The natural ingredients and lack of preservative, plus in the case of Marigold – the lack of perfume, has for me made it a very beneficial moisutirser.
anonymous comment on WOWMOW site –
I suffer from extremely dry skin and eczema. My sister recommended these products and they are fabulous! My skin feels hydrated and smooth. The cream I order (ultra-rich) is quite thick but that suits my skin. I strongly recommend these products.

I first purchased the Marigold Honey & Olive cream & Rose Clay when I was in Tassie over a year ago. Who would’ve known that stumbling across that store by chance, would have me addicted to BEAUTY & THE BEES face cream!!!! It is just soooo beautiful on my skin & actually feels like it is doing some good to my skin. I love, love, love that this is a product that isn’t full of toxic chemicals. I sometimes get lazy with reordering & will often just grab some face cream from the local herbal dispensary when I run out, thinking it will just get me through a week or so before I can get online and order some more of your luxurious face cream……BUT, every time I do, I just feel disappointed with what I buy & my skin just doesn’t feel the same or as great as it does with BEAUTY & THE BEES cream. So thank you, thank you for having such great products that make us feel & look great! 🙂

I visited Tasmania two years ago and discovered Honey and Olive Ultra Rich moisturiser. I love it and have been using it ever since. My skin feels so beautifully soft, refreshed and clean.
Patricia –
This cream is such a wonderful find for my poor sensitive dehydrated rosacea skin. I had all but given up on any facial creams, as they all would lead to screaming red, burning skin. It was a last dig attempt when I ordered this product and I’m so glad that I did. My skin has taken on a lovely color and after only a brief period of use I have lost the discomfort I have lived with for years that was caused by dryness.

I have just received my second order of Honey and Olive Ultra Rich Moisture Cream and just wanted to let everyone know that I am delighted with the product. Like most people I have tried a huge range of products of all prices and types, searching for ‘the one’ and finally, finally I can stop wasting money on other brands. This cream goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave my skin with a thick coating or worse a stiff feel and at the end of the day, my skin is still supple and protected. I even had a beauty therapist remark how soft my skin was and that I should keep on with whatever it was I was doing! Can’t get a better endorsement than that!!!
KATH –
The Ultra Rich Cream is fantastic! I use this cream all year round. I have oily skin but I find it suitable even here in very hot Perth. I also use the Green Clay soap which greatly helps with pimple breakouts. Wonderful and fragrant products and best of all…they don’t burn my skin like commercial products.
Angela –
The only cream around that makes my facial skin feel soothed, nourished and protected. What a bonus that it’s so beautifully natural and Tasmanian made. I’ve tried other products too, with wonderful results. Just beeautiful!
manuelinor –
This cream is sensational! I have very sensitive skin, have had problems with acne etc. and have to always be careful what I put on my face. After many years of trial and error with multiple commercial and natural creams and oils, I gave this one a go. It truly does work for me – it is light but deeply moisturising, smells heavenly, doesn’t leave my face greasy, lasts a good 12 hours (at least) and even appears to have smoothed out my skin tone and lines. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🙂
Casey –
Have been using this product on my very sensitive skinned daughter for nearly 4 years. Love it and won’t buy anything else. Thank you for making this product.

I now use this cream for all seasons. In summer I dilute with a little water, or if I get a bit of sun on my arms I use it generously!! Soothing calming and helps with plumping out wrinkles 🙂
Have converted a few to beauty and the bees, my 19 yr old daughter is your latest fan. Thanks again for your truly natural products.
