Product Description
Who is it for?
Very dry, extremely dehydrated skin – This VERY rich, non-greasy cream is a great night cream too. This was our first cream that we began with 19 years ago, and over the years eczema and dermatitis sufferers have reported excellent results with the marigold option in this range * see below
I have just received my second order of Honey and Olive Ultra Rich Moisture Cream and just wanted to let everyone know that I am delighted with the product. Like most people I have tried a huge range of products of all prices and types, searching for ‘the one’ and finally, finally I can stop wasting money on other brands. This cream goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave my skin with a thick coating or worse a stiff feel and at the end of the day, my skin is still supple and protected. I even had a beauty therapist remark how soft my skin was and that I should keep on with whatever it was I was doing! Sue: (Review) Can’t get a better endorsement than that!!!
What is it?
Great for skin all over the body-hands, feet, also is a great hair conditioner – simply work through hair and leave overnight, wash out in the morning with one of our fabulous natural soap shampoo bars.
* Choose Marigold (which is unscented) if you are eczema prone.
Directions for use:
The secret is to use sparingly on slightly damp skin to seal in moisture. The cream is extremely rich so needs to be worked in thoroughly and left for five minutes or so to absorb into skin. Unlike water based products that leave nothing on the skin, our slow-to-absorb formula means a long lasting protective moisturising barrier effect on the skin.

My husband recently underwent seven weeks of radiation treatment for throat cancer, and as expected this had a terrible effect on the skin around his neck and throat. This unscented, rich moisturiser was an absolute godsend. Because we stored it in the fridge, it had a soothing and cooling effect on the skin – and as the treatment progressed it helped him somehow avoid the skin cracking and peeling. It was especially good at night – much more comfortable than the thick pawpaw cream the docs recommended slathering on. He’s now two weeks past treatment, and we can’t believe it – his skin has recovered incredibly quickly, you genuinely wouldn’t know to look at it that there had ever been a problem. The cancer nurses confirmed to us that they’ve never seen someone’s skin come through the treatment so well – so thank you very much for the recommendation, and also for the warm welcome from the staff in your Salamanca store. So helpful with advice, and generous with a couple of product samples too.

Hi Ruth,
Wow, that’s fantastic news, we are so happy to hear this product had such great results. We have had other cancer patients say it’s worked well for them, the Marigold has soothing and healing properties which help a lot of skin problems.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write, we appreciate it. 🙂

Just tried this for the first time. I have never used a moisturiser like it. I could feel that there was beeswax in it, but it still manages to be a light, non-greasy cream. I have very dry skin, and have used all sorts of moisturisers over time. This immediately dried but kept a nice, moisturising, protective layer behind. My skin usually gets very sensitive in winter, and feels prickly under certain types of fabric. With this moisturiser it feels silky (my skin never feels silky, but rather bumpy) and moisturised in a way I feel like I have never experienced. I am actually having a feeling of wellness based on how good my skin feels! Highly recommend. I also use the shampoo and conditioner bars from these guys. I’ve just managed to get my partner onto the glossy beard soap. These guys are onto a good thing!

What a wonderful product this Honey & Olive moisturiser is. I can’t speak highly enough of it….after many many years of buying other products for my dry, sensitive skin, I’ve finally found gold. It’s perfect, smells beautiful and glides very easily and gently onto the skin. Thank You Beauty and the Bees.

When you are on a good thing….I’ve been using this Moisture Cream for years and have never needed to try anything else. It was delivered interstate in less than 24 hours – as it has always been.
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you for your kind words, we are glad you are as happy with the product as we are 🙂

Just wondering if you could come up with ‘travel packs’ of your Honey & Macadamia and Honey & Olive moisturising creams. It would be great if I could bring these with me on long travels without the worry of keeping these refrigerated. I have been using these for the past four months and the results are amazing.
Claire Brodribb –
Watch this space Lena we are working on this!

I love all the skin care products from the range. The thicker creams are fantastic when the weather is cold and I want to protect my face from wind. It is good to know the product is clean and good for your skin. Always happy with the delivery – almost the next day. Great!

First purchased this earlier in the year from Salamanca market and have re-purchased with other items online. Beautiful, beautiful product …. feels amazing on my mature dry skin and leaves no greasy residue … love it … you’ve got me converted !
Wendy –
My husband was very badly burnt 35 years ago and suffers with deep, painful cracks in the scar tissue on his hands and knuckles. The Ultra Rich Moisture cream is fantastic, applied to damp skin it goes on so easily and soothes and protects his hands. I now get him his own jar so he doesn’t use mine. So glad we stumbled across theses products at the Salamanca Market when on holidays in Tassie an number of years ago.

I now use this cream for all seasons. In summer I dilute with a little water, or if I get a bit of sun on my arms I use it generously!! Soothing calming and helps with plumping out wrinkles 🙂
Have converted a few to beauty and the bees, my 19 yr old daughter is your latest fan. Thanks again for your truly natural products.
Casey –
Have been using this product on my very sensitive skinned daughter for nearly 4 years. Love it and won’t buy anything else. Thank you for making this product.

This cream is sensational! I have very sensitive skin, have had problems with acne etc. and have to always be careful what I put on my face. After many years of trial and error with multiple commercial and natural creams and oils, I gave this one a go. It truly does work for me – it is light but deeply moisturising, smells heavenly, doesn’t leave my face greasy, lasts a good 12 hours (at least) and even appears to have smoothed out my skin tone and lines. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🙂

The only cream around that makes my facial skin feel soothed, nourished and protected. What a bonus that it’s so beautifully natural and Tasmanian made. I’ve tried other products too, with wonderful results. Just beeautiful!
KATH –
The Ultra Rich Cream is fantastic! I use this cream all year round. I have oily skin but I find it suitable even here in very hot Perth. I also use the Green Clay soap which greatly helps with pimple breakouts. Wonderful and fragrant products and best of all…they don’t burn my skin like commercial products.

This cream is such a wonderful find for my poor sensitive dehydrated rosacea skin. I had all but given up on any facial creams, as they all would lead to screaming red, burning skin. It was a last dig attempt when I ordered this product and I’m so glad that I did. My skin has taken on a lovely color and after only a brief period of use I have lost the discomfort I have lived with for years that was caused by dryness.

I visited Tasmania two years ago and discovered Honey and Olive Ultra Rich moisturiser. I love it and have been using it ever since. My skin feels so beautifully soft, refreshed and clean.

I first purchased the Marigold Honey & Olive cream & Rose Clay when I was in Tassie over a year ago. Who would’ve known that stumbling across that store by chance, would have me addicted to BEAUTY & THE BEES face cream!!!! It is just soooo beautiful on my skin & actually feels like it is doing some good to my skin. I love, love, love that this is a product that isn’t full of toxic chemicals. I sometimes get lazy with reordering & will often just grab some face cream from the local herbal dispensary when I run out, thinking it will just get me through a week or so before I can get online and order some more of your luxurious face cream……BUT, every time I do, I just feel disappointed with what I buy & my skin just doesn’t feel the same or as great as it does with BEAUTY & THE BEES cream. So thank you, thank you for having such great products that make us feel & look great! 🙂

I suffer from extremely dry skin and eczema. My sister recommended these products and they are fabulous! My skin feels hydrated and smooth. The cream I order (ultra-rich) is quite thick but that suits my skin. I strongly recommend these products.

I react to pretty well all commercially produced moisturisers and beauty products, but the Beauty and the Bees Honey & Olive (Marigold!) has never caused me one moment’s discomfort. The natural ingredients and lack of preservative, plus in the case of Marigold – the lack of perfume, has for me made it a very beneficial moisutirser.
Helen W –
I tried this cream hoping that it would soothe my itchy dry skin on my feet, legs and face. I’m amazed at how quickly it worked. I use the cream daily as an all purpose moisturiser, even as a night cream and my skin has never felt and looked better.

I stumbled upon this product whilst visiting Tasmania a couple of years ago, and have recommended it to all and sundry since.
I now have at least 6 other family and friends addicted to it, even die-hard chemical cream fans.
This cream is an absolutely amazing product.
I don’t think I knew what actually feeling ‘moisturised’ was until i used this cream.
Joanna –
A beautiful rich, soft cream which I can use for any possible reason, to calm irritated or bites on skin, dry skin, have used it on dry lips. A really lovely product to use.

I am 39 years old and have always had dry, flaky skin. Your Ultra Rich cream is the only one I have found which keeps my skin hydrated and relatively wrinkle free. Whilst geranium and lavender essetial oils are amongst my favourites, I prefer the plain marigold, which just oozes natural goodness.
Thank you so much – I could not live without this decadent cream!
Anne Collins –
I received the Honey and Olive Moisture Cream cream yesterday, thank you very much, it’s as gorgeous as I remember it .. I was given a tub as a gift last year and really loved it.. top quality, smells yummmm .. does the job .. makes me happy!!! Excellent product, excellent service! Many thanks!

I have suffered with very dehydrated and sensitive skin for years and have searched and tried many facial moisturisers over those years, nothing is as fabulous as ultra rich leatherwood honey, olive oil and marigold. It is the ONLY moisturiser that I can apply once a day and not have to reapply during the day. The only thing that is missing that would make it perfect, is if it also had a natural SPF in it! Because at the moment I still have to also apply a clear zinc sunscreen, which apparently (according to my boyfriend) smells like old oily skin :0( so I don’t tend to use it much! Maybe Beauty and the Bees could look into creating this? Thanks for such a wonderful product, which not only is totally natural, but Tasmanian! (I’m a mad Tassie fan!)
Love Robyne

I love love LOVE this product. I have spent years and a small fortune trying moisturisers – only to find my skin didn’t feel “moisturised” after using them! I have used every “quality” product on the market, including many expensive salon-only products.
I discovered Beauty and the Bees by recommendation – and have never looked back. This moisturiser goes a long way, is very cost effective but most importantly leaves my skin feeling hydrated and comfortable. In conjunction with the rosewater spray, this is my “don’t leave home without it” product.
