Details

A deeply healing, ultra-nourishing hand balm for hands that do a lot — and skin that genuinely needs repair. The Oh, Honey! Hand Balm brings together two of nature's most powerful restorative ingredients — 850+ MGO certified Manuka honey from New Zealand and grass-fed and finished Hudson Valley tallow — in a thick, concentrated formula that goes far beyond conventional hand creams. Manuka honey at 850+ MGO is among the most potent grades available, prized for centuries for its clinically validated antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Tallow mirrors the skin's own lipid structure, delivering essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins that genuinely repair and replenish rather than simply coat. Hudson Valley lavender essential oil adds its calming, antimicrobial aromatherapy benefits and a clean, grounding scent that makes every application a moment of pause. Hudson Valley beeswax and Israeli jojoba oil complete the formula, providing structure, lasting moisture, and a finish that is rich without being greasy. A true multitasker — designed for hands, but effective anywhere the skin needs serious repair. Five ingredients. Nothing else. Housed in a refillable aluminium vessel with a gold turn key.

How To Use

Use the gold turn key to gently roll the balm up from the aluminium tube — it is a thick, concentrated balm rather than a cream, so a small amount goes a significant way. Warm a pea-sized amount between the palms and massage into clean hands, paying extra attention to knuckles, cuticles, and any areas of dryness or cracking. For an intensive overnight treatment, apply generously before bed and wear cotton gloves to allow the formula to work deeply into the skin while you sleep. Can also be used on elbows, heels, lips, or any area of the body requiring concentrated repair.

Key Ingredients

• Grass-Fed & Finished Beef Tallow (Sebum Bovinum) — Hudson Valley, NY — The restorative foundation of the formula. Dry-rendered from regenerative Hudson Valley farms and biologically compatible with the skin's own sebum, tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and essential fatty acids that deeply repair compromised skin, restore the barrier, and deliver lasting hydration that mimics what the skin produces naturally. The most nourishing base the formula could be built on — and the reason the Oh, Honey! balm delivers results that conventional hand creams cannot.
• Manuka Honey MGO 850+ (Leptospermum scoparium) — New Zealand — The hero active of the formula and one of nature's most rigorously studied healing ingredients. Sourced from the nectar of New Zealand's Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka) tree, this honey is certified at 850+ MGO — one of the highest potency grades available, ensuring meaningful antibacterial and therapeutic activity. MGO (methylglyoxal) is the compound responsible for Manuka honey's distinctive healing properties: clinically shown to combat a wide spectrum of bacteria, accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and support the regeneration of damaged skin tissue. At 850+ MGO, it is an exceptionally active ingredient in even small concentrations.
• Lavender Essential Oil (Lavandula Angustifolia) — Hudson Valley, NY — Locally grown and harvested in the Hudson Valley, this pure lavender essential oil brings both therapeutic and sensory value to the formula. Rich in linalool and linalyl acetate with proven anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin cell regeneration-promoting properties, it soothes irritated, overworked hands, supports healing of minor cuts and cracks, and delivers a clean, calming scent that transforms every application into a brief moment of stillness.
• Beeswax (Cera Alba) — Hudson Valley, NY — Pure Hudson Valley beeswax that provides the balm's thick, structured consistency and forms a breathable, long-lasting protective barrier on the skin's surface. Seals in the moisture and actives delivered by the tallow, honey, and jojoba, shields the hands from environmental dryness and irritants, and extends the balm's therapeutic contact with the skin throughout the day.
• Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) — Israel — USDA organic, cold-pressed, and unrefined. A liquid wax that closely mimics the skin's own sebum, delivering lightweight, lasting hydration without heaviness. Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, it softens and conditions the skin, supports collagen production, and ensures the formula spreads smoothly and absorbs comfortably without any greasy residue.
