Beecology has such a lovely array of bath and beauty products that I wanted to try one of everything. From shampoo and conditioner to soaps, lotions, and lip balm, all Beecology products are as natural and sustainable as accidental beekeeper and company founder David Rzepka can make them. They even let their customers choose which charities receive the 20% of net profits they donate each year through SweetYear.org.

Rare as it is for someone who tries so many body products, I can honestly say I liked every single thing I tried from Beecology.

The Hand and Body Cream is a stand-out, with honey, beeswax, and propolis from the bee hives perfectly melded with an array of luscious oils. The scent is light and natural, and the overall feeling is enriching and smooth; my skin seems to glow when I use it. I also enjoy the Body Wash in Honey and Peppermint which is a great pick-me-up for early mornings, or in Lavender Bergamot which has an herbal, sultry edge that I like before date night.

I still like a certain bee-centric line that was bought by a bleach company and went mainstream; but if you're pining to fill an all-natural, indie hole in your soul, Beecology might do it. It did for me.~Delilah
