Blueberry Honey, Real Berry Seeds, Summer in a Jar
Someone asked once why we put blueberries in a body scrub. Not blueberry extract or blueberry fragrance—actual blueberry seeds from the farm. Because when you're making things in Maryland with honey from the Eastern Shore and berries from your own yard, that's just what you reach for.

This collection started with jars of blueberry honey that kept selling out at farmers markets. Then a body butter that people said smelled like opening windows in July. Then a scrub we formulated in our Owings Mills lab with honey crystals and those blueberry seeds, because sugar alone felt too one-note. Now there's tea and candles and lollipops—everything that captures that specific feeling of summer fruit still warm from the sun.
The body care products get made in small batches here. Sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil, our honey. The scrub rinses clean, doesn't leave the tub slippery. The butter absorbs fast enough that you can get dressed without waiting. Both smell exactly like their names suggest—no candy-sweet fake fruit, just honest blueberry and honey.
Small Batch in Owings Mills
Body butter and scrub both formulated and produced in our Maryland lab facility. We mix, pour, and package here. Small batches mean we can adjust texture and scent based on what's working, what customers tell us, what the season requires.
Real Blueberry Seeds for Texture
The scrub contains actual seeds from blueberries—not microbeads, not synthetic anything. Gentle physical exfoliation from something you could eat if you were so inclined. Combined with honey crystals and organic sugar for a texture that feels thorough without feeling harsh.
Sweet Almond and Cocoa Butter Base
Body butter built on sweet almond oil and cocoa butter with our honey mixed in. Rich but not greasy. The kind of formula that absorbs within a minute or two, leaves skin soft without that slick film some butters leave behind.
Berry Honey from American Beekeepers
Blueberry, raspberry, and mixed berry honey varieties all sourced in the United States. Each tastes different—lighter or darker, sweeter or more floral—depending on what the bees found. Star K kosher certified. Sold in glass jars, no squeezy bottles.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
All packaging designed with sustainability in mind. Glass jars for honey, recyclable materials throughout, minimal plastic where possible. If you're trying to reduce waste, these products make it easier.

On wet skin in the shower, before you shave if you shave. Massage it in, rinse clean. It won't leave the tub slippery like oil-heavy scrubs sometimes do. Use it once or twice a week, or more often if your skin can handle it.
