Why Ingredients Matter!

Honeyism prides itself on our use of organically sourced ingredients! Many of our ingredients are sourced from local vendors and international markets from Southern India and East Africa. We care about what our consumers are putting on their skin and we care about what ingredients work and have great benefits for the skin!

No matter if the product is $20 or $200, the first thing most people look at is the ingredient list or product description. We know this and have placed both the ingredient list and product description on the product page for every item we sell. Below you will find a list of some of our most used organic ingredients and their benefits for the skin!
