Dr. Sara Robb will be at the Bee Academy on 15 February 2026 at 13:00 to deliver her talk on Bee Cosmetics.

Don't forget to register if you are planning on being there.

Super Natural Cosmetics

You can make super natural cosmetics, with the honey, wax and propolis from your apiary. Dr Sara Robb will discuss ingredients from the hive and how they enhance cosmetic formulations. For example, the characteristics of honey—such as colour, flavour, and antioxidant levels—depend on its nectar source, making each variety unique. Using different honey types in cosmetic formulations allows beekeepers to produce distinct products, including soaps. During the session, Sara will demonstrate how to make Oat & Orange Beekeeper’s Soap, using her no-cure method. Same‑Day Soap is a cold‑process soap method that uses controlled chemistry to fully saponify the soap quickly, so you can use it or sell it the same day you make it! Finally, Sara will provide an overview of the steps required to sell cosmetics legally, for those beekeepers who would like to sell soaps, creams, and balms.
