If you joined us this summer at one of our make-and-take workshops in Sydenham and Kingston, this post will come as no surprise to you. We gathered together as a small group (that included our founders, Aly and Lisa) to craft our newest creation by hand.
We're so excited to finally share HONEY BOMB, our brand new, deeply nourishing body balm, with the rest of the LAKE+MAIN community!
This rich, buttery balm brings together locally sourced honey and beeswax from Maple Ridge Farm with luxurious botanicals and soothing essential oils to restore even the driest, most sensitive skin.
If your skin is craving hydration, protection, and a dose of natural radiance, this balm is the buzz you’ve been waiting for.
Why Honey Deserves the Skincare Spotlight
Honey has been used in skincare for thousands of years—and for good reason. Here’s why this humble golden ingredient is the hero behind HONEY BOMB.
- Natural Humectant: Honey draws moisture from the air into your skin, locking in lasting hydration where it’s needed most. That means smoother, softer, and more supple skin that stays nourished all day long.
- Packed with Antioxidants: Full of natural enzymes and antioxidants, honey helps protect your skin from environmental stress and supports barrier repair. Think of it as nature’s defense system in a jar—perfect for soothing post-summer skin or prepping for dry fall weather.
- Naturally Soothing and Restorative: Honey’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it a go-to ingredient for calming sensitive, reactive, or irritated skin. Whether you’re dealing with flakiness or rough patches, it helps restore balance gently and effectively.
- Works Hand-in-Hand with Beeswax: In HONEY BOMB, honey pairs beautifully with locally sourced beeswax to form a protective, breathable layer on your skin—locking in moisture without clogging pores. It’s the perfect combination for long-lasting hydration and a silky-smooth finish.
- Good for Your Skin and The Planet: By sourcing our honey and beeswax from Maple Ridge Farms in Sydenham, we’re supporting local beekeepers and sustainable agriculture that keeps pollinators—and the planet—thriving.
The Full Formula: Nature’s Best, Blended for You
HONEY BOMB combines organic honey and beeswax from Maple Ridge Farm with:
-
Sweet Almond Oil for lightweight hydration
-
Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil to smooth and repair
-
Vitamin E for antioxidant protection

The result? A balm that melts effortlessly into skin, leaving behind a subtle, earthy sweetness—like a walk through a late-summer field warmed by the sun.
