I am Suzanne, a 47-year-old mother of two, a business journalist – and an advocate of natural, yet gorgeous and effective skincare products that don’t cost the earth.
It was when looking for bath and skincare products for my children that I became increasingly frustrated at how difficult it is to find natural formulations.
I’ve known for many years that sodium laureth sulphate (SLS) was an ingredient I didn’t want to put on my skin if I could help it . But once I had children, I became outraged that it was virtually impossible to buy products that didn’t contain it. I had fears about other ingredients too.
The Miss Honey brand is born from my desire to find natural skincare creams that don’t contain skin-unfriendly ingredients, but which are incredibly indulgent and pampering.
I am an enthusiast too for the benefits of honey and beeswax, natural beauty products that go back as far as Cleopatra and have been used to ward off wrinkles and rejuvenate, moisturise and heal skin for generations.
My products also reflect my interest in championing the plight of the honeybee, whose populations have been dying out and yet whose pollination is responsible for a third of the global food economy.
