Bee & Botanical of Spring Lake
New this week! I now have an assortment of Michigan beeswax candles for Sweetwater Market from Swarm Naturals. These candles are made with 100% pure beeswax and 100% cotton wicks. They not only have that nice natural honey scent but they are the cleanest and brightest burning candles on the market. Because beeswax has a very high melting point, they also burn slower, lasting longer.
Also new this week: Lip Balms! Unflavored, peppermint and grapefruit, made with moisturizing oils, Michigan beeswax and the finest organic essential oils for flavoring.
I will also have a full assortment of our Certified Organic Soap including our newest Rows & Furrows Garden Soap, Quietude bath Tea, and pretty lavender sachet gifts for Mom!
Look forward to seeing you at the market!
