Hive & Honey Balms and Salves for Skin Care
Nelson Olive Oil Co. carries a line of balms and salves made by Hive & Honey, built on an olive oil base rather than the mineral oils found in many drugstore balms. This lineup covers everything from a lip balm you can carry in a pocket to full-size skin balms for daily use. Each product in the line targets a different part of the routine, from lips to hands to a baby's skin.
Choosing a Balm for Your Routine
The five balms and salves in this collection differ mainly by intended use and scent rather than by base ingredient. A shopper looking for a targeted, concentrated product should start with the salve, while a shopper looking for daily all-over coverage should look at the balms. Shoppers can read more on what makes olive oil quality matter for skin care before choosing between them.
Balms and Salves in This Collection
- Arnica Salve - Hive & Honey: a concentrated salve suited to targeted, everyday skin care.
- Baby Balm - Hive & Honey: formulated for use on a baby's more sensitive skin.
- Balm of Gilead - Hive & Honey: a full-size balm for all-over skin nourishment.
- Herbal Balm - Hive & Honey: a botanical balm suited to daily skin care use.
- Lip Balm Raspberry Ice - Hive & Honey (15g): a raspberry-scented lip balm sized for a pocket or bag.
Olive Oil Soap Bars by Scent
Hive & Honey also makes a line of bar soaps built on an olive oil base, sold in four scents. Bar soap made this way tends to lather gently rather than aggressively, which suits daily hand and body washing without stripping the skin. Each scent below works well on its own or paired with the matching hand or body wash from the same collection.
Olive Oil Soap Scents Available
- Peppermint Olive Oil Soap - Hive & Honey: a peppermint-scented bar for a cool, fresh wash.
- Bergamot / Lime Olive Oil Soap - Hive & Honey: combines bergamot and lime for a citrus-forward scent.
- Gardener Olive Oil Soap - Hive & Honey: suited to hands that need a thorough scrub after outdoor or garden work.
- Paeon Olive Oil Soap - Hive & Honey: scented with peony for a floral option.
Every soap, balm, and wash in this collection follows the same purity testing standards for our products, so the olive oil base going into a soap bar meets the same standard as the olive oil sold for cooking.
Hair, Body, and Hand Care by Scent
The largest part of this collection covers everyday hair, body, and hand products, sold in matching scent lines so a shopper can build a full routine around one fragrance. Citrus Bloom is the widest line, covering shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The remaining products round out hand, face, and lotion needs.
Citrus Bloom Hair and Body Line
Shampoo - Citrus Bloom (500ml) and Conditioner - Citrus Bloom (500ml) are sold as a matching pair for daily hair washing. Body Wash - Citrus Bloom (500ml) extends the same scent to the shower, while Body Wash - Rose Geranium (500ml) offers a floral alternative for a shopper who prefers a different fragrance for body versus hair.
Hand, Face, and Body Essentials
Hand Cream - Naturally Nourished (40ml) is sized for a purse or desk drawer rather than daily bathroom use. Face Wash - Juniper Orange (300ml) and Face Moisturiser - Serenity (125ml) are scented differently from one another, so a shopper can pair a citrus-forward wash with a calmer, unscented-leaning moisturiser routine.
Additional Hand and Body Products
- Hand Wash - Lemon Tea Tree (500ml): a lemon and tea tree scented wash for the kitchen or bathroom sink.
- Hand Wash - Malle Eucalyptus (500ml): a eucalyptus-scented alternative for a shopper who prefers a cooler fragrance.
- Hand & Body Lotion - Soothing (500ml): a full-size lotion for daily use after washing.
How to Choose a Personal Care Product Here
Start with the part of the routine that needs attention first: hands, face, hair, or an all-over balm. A shopper replacing an everyday hand soap should start with the olive oil soap bars, since they work at the sink without needing a matched shampoo or conditioner. A shopper building a full routine around one scent should start with Citrus Bloom, since it covers shampoo, conditioner, and body wash together.
Matching Scents Across Product Types
Rose Geranium, Lemon Tea Tree, Malle Eucalyptus, and Juniper Orange each appear on a single product rather than across a matched set, so these work well as a one-off addition to an existing routine rather than a full replacement. A shopper who wants variety across hand, face, and body products can mix scents freely, since every product in this collection shares the same olive oil base.
Trying Personal Care Products Before You Buy
Nelson Olive Oil Co. offers free samples on the website, giving a shopper a way to test a scent or texture before committing to a full-size balm, soap, or wash. This matches how the tasting room in Nelson, BC works for the oils and balsamics, an approach rooted in Nelson Olive Oil Co.'s Canadian ownership and values, extended here to skin and hair care.
Building a Gift From This Collection
A soap bar, balm, or scented hand wash from this collection works as a smaller addition to a larger gift alongside oils or balsamics. Shoppers assembling a larger gift set can browse the olive oil and balsamic gift packs and add a personal care item as an extra.
