The Honey B Soap Company's Name
Why did you name your company "The Honey B Soap Company?"
When I first started out, I was baking for friends. I thought the name "The Honey B" was a good name for several reasons:
So, you can see there were many reasons the name was meaningful to me. When I had my "crazy pregnancy idea" to make soap, it was natural for me to keep "The Honey B" since many people already associated me with that name. Even though I make soap now, baking is still an activity that is relaxing for me and a good opportunity for time with my kids.
Do all your products contain honey?
Our Honey Soaps contain honey and beeswax. Charcoal and Clay also has beeswax. Our Lip Balms and Lotion Bars contain beeswax. Most of our other products are vegan friendly made with only vegetable oils and butters.
Do you have bees? Where do you get your honey and beeswax?
I do NOT have bees. I get my honey and beeswax from a few local beekeepers and online retailers.
When I first started out, I was baking for friends. I thought the name "The Honey B" was a good name for several reasons:
- Honey is sweet and so are my baked goods.
- "B" because it's the first letter of my name, Brittany.
- Bees are busy and so am I...very busy.
- Bees make honey. Honey is sweet and so am I...please don't ask either of my sisters to verify this.
- Bees are team players and in my busy family, we need this concept to make things work.
- Bees are a critical part of a delicate ecosystem and are vital to the health of that system. This is a reminder of the value each of us has and how much of a difference we really do make.
