MY PRODUCTS
HAND CREAM
My hand cream is made from beeswax and rapeseed oil from mainland Scotland which gives it the characteristic yellow colour. There are no added scents or additives of any kind and will be suitable for most skin types. Each tub contains 15ml.
LIP BALM
The lip balm is made from island wax and mainland Scotland rapeseed oil which gives it the bright yellow colour. There are no additives such as flavourings or scents. Each tube contains 8ml.
BOOT POLISH
Boot polish is made from beeswax and grapeseed oil which creates a white firm polish suitable for all leather products. Some people use this product on their horse tack. Each tub contains 50ml.
FURNITURE POLISH
This product is made from beeswax and pure turpentine which gives that distinctive smell to wooden furniture. Each tub contains 50ml.
WAX WRAPS
My wax wraps are made from island wax and cotton fabric only. The design of the fabric varies considerably due to cotton remnants being used. I make 2 sizes, squares of 30cm and 15cm. The larger ones can be used as an alternative to cling film in many situations while the smaller ones are used for covering jars and rammicans.
PINE FIRELIGHTERS
This is my only product not using beeswax but are made from candle ends collected from family and friends and topped with a Scots pine gathered from the Arran forests. Each bag contains 10 firelighters and will have a variety of colours depending on what candlewax I have at the time.
CANDLES
The candles are made from pure beeswax by the dip method so all are individually shaped. Each one contains 40g of wax and is approximately 11cm long.
Beeswax candles emit non-toxic fumes and actually purify the air by producing negative ions that take out the positive ions on dust and mould spores.
HONEY
Honey is the main reason for keeping bees of course so is my main product but availability depends on weather and season. Jars come in 4 sizes, 454g/1lb, 227g/1/2lb, 140g/5oz and 85g/3oz.
SOAP
My soap is made from an organic base and my honey, approximately 10% by weight. Since my honey does not have a strong scent and I do not want to add fragrance, there is no honey smell to the soap. Each soap is 5.5cm diameter and approximately 40g.
HONEY COMB
Honey comb is much sought after by those who enjoy chewing the honey-filled wax. Just like honey, availability depends on weather and season. The size of each comb varies but is usually between 170g/6oz and 227g/8oz and the price reflects this.
