Oh Honey, You Deserve This
Made in small batches in Maryland, this set is the real deal. The honey crystals in the scrub are legit. The cocoa butter in the body butter is organic. These are the products people actually finish—and then text you asking where to get more.
What Makes Our Nectar+Honey Gift Set Special?
- Nectar+Honey Body Scrub (8oz): Organic cane sugar and honey crystals in a base of sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and organic cocoa butter. Phthalate-free fragrance oil. Exfoliates without stripping.
- Nectar+Honey Body Butter (7oz): Sweet almond oil, coconut oil, organic cocoa butter, and Bee Inspired honey. Emulsified formula absorbs quickly on damp skin. Same phthalate-free fragrance oil as the scrub.
- Nectar+Honey Soy Candle (6oz): 100% American-grown soy wax, cotton wick, phthalate-free fragrance oil. Burns for approximately 30 hours.
- Real honey crystals: The scrub uses dried honey with cane juice and molasses — not honey fragrance, not honey extract.
- Organic base ingredients: Cane sugar, cocoa butter, shea butter, and stearic acid are all certified organic.
- Made in Maryland: Small batches at our Owings Mills facility, checked before they ship.
The set that earns a spot on the bathroom counter, not in the drawer.
How to Use: In the shower, scoop a palmful of scrub onto wet skin and work it in circles — elbows, knees, anywhere rough. The sugar dissolves, the oils rinse clean. Pat dry (not completely), then warm a small amount of body butter between your palms and smooth it on while skin is still slightly damp. It absorbs in under a minute. For the candle, trim the wick to a quarter inch before lighting and let it burn until the wax melts fully to the edges on the first use — about an hour — to prevent tunneling. Burns for 30 hours total.

Nectar+Honey Gift Set FAQs
What does the Nectar+Honey scent actually smell like?
Honey, but not perfume-honey or candy-honey. Just honey. The scent hits before you even open the jar. Warm, golden, faintly toasted, with the kind of depth that comes from real honey crystals in the formulation rather than synthetic honey fragrance. It's the smell of opening a hive frame on a warm day, translated into body care and a candle. Not floral, not vanilla-sweet, not bakery. Just the honey itself, the way it actually smells in a kitchen on a Sunday morning.
Why combine a scrub, a body butter, and a candle in one set?
Same scent, three formats. The body scrub gets the fragrance into the steam of your shower. The body butter leaves it on your skin afterward. The candle holds it in the room. Used in sequence, you build the Nectar+Honey scent from the ground up. Shower, dry off, light the candle, let the room catch up to your skin. People who buy individual pieces often come back for the others because one product is never quite enough when the scent is this good.
How long does the set last with regular use?
The candle burns for approximately thirty hours total, which works out to roughly a month of three-to-four hour evening sessions. The body care lasts longer per ounce. The 8oz scrub usually covers about two months of weekly full-body use. The 7oz body butter lasts six to eight weeks of daily post-shower application, since a small warm amount on damp skin spreads further than you'd expect. Most customers reorder around the eight-week mark.
What's the difference between a sugar scrub and a salt scrub?
Sugar dissolves as you work it into damp skin, so the texture eases off the harder you press. That makes it gentler than salt for most body areas and especially for anyone with sensitive skin. Salt scrubs stay coarse the whole time and can sting if you've nicked yourself shaving. Our scrubs are sugar-based for that reason. Cane sugar exfoliates, then rinses cleanly without the stripped feeling some salt formulas leave behind.
Where are these gift sets made?
Every body care item, candle, soap, and lollipop in our gift sets is made in our Owings Mills, Maryland facility, and the honey is jarred there from beekeepers we've worked with for years. Some keep apiaries on Maryland's Eastern Shore, others work coffee plantations in Guatemala, sunflower fields in Ukraine, or citrus groves in Florida. The vessels and packaging come from suppliers we've vetted for quality. When you give one of our sets, you're giving things made by the same hands that wrote the labels.
Are the products in this gift set full-size or sample sizes?
Full-size, every one. The body scrubs, butters, candles, lip products, and honey jars in our gift sets are the same versions you'd buy individually, in the same sizes, made in the same Owings Mills batches. We don't make special trial-size versions for gifting because the point is to give someone enough to actually live with a product. Exact sizes are listed in each set's contents so you know what's coming before you buy.
