OUR INGREDIENTS & STANDARDS

Our process begins with standards.

How we formulate, what we choose, and what we intentionally leave out are inseparable.


Formulated With Intention

At Herb & Honey Naturals, our formulations are guided by intention, restraint, and respect for the skin.

Every ingredient is chosen for a purpose. Every omission is just as deliberate.

This page outlines the standards we follow, the ingredients we trust, and the choices we make -

 so you can feel confident in what you’re using and why.



Our Approach to Formulation

We believe skincare should support the skin, not overwhelm it.

Our products are made slowly, in small batches, using thoughtfully sourced ingredients and time-honored apothecary methods. We prioritize quality over convenience and integrity over trends - never rushing processes or adding unnecessary components for texture, scent, or shelf appeal.

Each formula is created to be effective, gentle, and deeply supportive of the skin’s natural balance.


Ingredient Integrity

We believe true quality lives in sourcing, formulation, and craftsmanship - not paperwork.
While our finished products are not certified organic, we intentionally source certified organic botanicals, oils, and butters whenever available.


In rare cases where an organic option does not exist - such as certain minerals, salts, or functional ingredients - we thoughtfully select the highest-quality alternative. Our focus is always on purity, integrity, and ingredient transparency.


This means prioritizing:

  • Organic, raw, and unrefined materials whenever possible
  • Cold-pressed, hexane free oils rich in naturally occurring nutrients
  • Ethically and responsibly harvested botanicals
  • Whole-plant infusions over isolated or synthetic substitutes


Our herbs are slowly infused - never heat-processed - allowing them to release their therapeutic compounds naturally over time. By protecting the integrity of both the plant and the oil, we preserve what makes them effective in the first place.


We believe the skin recognizes real ingredients - and responds accordingly.


What We Choose to Leave Out

Our formulations are intentionally free from ingredients commonly found in conventional and even “clean-labeled” skincare. We work exclusively with whole, unrefined, plant-based materials - never synthetics or lab manufactured substitutes.


We do not use:

Fragrance & Sensitizers

  • Synthetic fragrance or parfum
  • Essential oils
  • Isolated fragrance allergens
  • Masking fragrances of any kind

Preservatives & Stabilizers

  • Synthetic preservatives (including parabens and formaldehyde-releasing agents)
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Benzyl alcohol (synthetic or isolated)
  • Potassium sorbate
  • Sodium benzoate

Emulsifiers & Texture Modifiers

  • Synthetic emulsifiers
  • PEGs (polyethylene glycols)
  • Polysorbates
  • Ethoxylated ingredients
  • Carbomers
  • Acrylates

Petrochemical-Derived Ingredients

  • Mineral oil
  • Petrolatum
  • Paraffin
  • Petroleum waxes

Silicones & Film Formers

  • Dimethicone
  • Cyclopentasiloxane
  • Cyclohexasiloxane
  • Siloxanes or silicone blends

Artificial & Disruptive Additives

  • Artificial colorants or dyes
  • Synthetic opacifiers
  • Plastic-derived fillers
  • Sulfates (SLS, SLES)
  • Drying alcohols
  • Harsh surfactants
  • Aggressive exfoliating agents

Synthetic Actives

  • Lab-created retinoids
  • Synthetic acids
  • Isolated chemical actives designed to force rapid results


Why This Matters

Many of these ingredients are used to improve shelf life, texture, scent, or visual appeal - not because they benefit the skin. By choosing to exclude them entirely, we allow our formulations to remain gentle, supportive, and compatible with sensitive and compromised skin, while honoring the integrity of our slow-infused herbs and unrefined oils.


How We Formulate Instead

  • Whole-plant infusions
  • Cold-pressed, unrefined oils
  • Naturally stable, oil-based formulations
  • Time-honored apothecary methods
  • Minimal, purposeful ingredient lists

Nothing added for convenience.
Everything chosen with care.


No Fragrance. No Essential Oils. On Purpose.

We do not use synthetic fragrance or essential oils - by design, not by omission.

While commonly added for scent, both can be sensitizing and may interfere with the skin’s natural barrier and healing response. Essential oils, though plant-derived, are highly concentrated extracts that can be irritating for many skin types when applied topically.

Instead, we allow the plants themselves to speak.

The natural aroma of our products comes solely from the herbs and unrefined oils within - soft, grounding, and true to the plant. Nothing is added to mask, overpower, or override the skin’s needs.

This approach allows our formulas to remain:

  • Gentler on sensitive skin
  • More compatible with daily use
  • Focused on function, not fragrance


Nothing added for scent.
Everything included for purpose.
