A potent powerhouse that harnesses gifts from land and sea, this mask is brightening, moisturizing, and seriously restorative. Raw Honey from the Sonoma County Bee County hives that's collected with the most epic amount of love and care - and only when there's a surplus - harmonizes with extracts of rose, Oregon grape root, and kelp to create a mask that revitalizes with every use. And catapulting this Honey Mask to the next level? Propolis extract. The resin that honeybees collect from trees and flowers to coat their hive, propolis is incredibly healing, antibacterial, and protective. A cherished creation as a once-a-week treatment mask, daily morning cleanse, or periodic spot treatment, this decadent offering will have you reaching for it time and time again.
2oz
Raw Honey, Organic Vegetable Glycerine, Rosa x Damascena (Rose) Extract, Berberis Aquifolium (Oregon Grape Root) Extract, Ascophyllum Nodosum (Kelp) Extract, Propolis Extract
Apply to freshly cleaned skin. Leave on for 15-30 mins and rinse. May also be used as a morning cleanser.
Founded in May 2019 by Candice Koseba, who began her career long before 2019 as a chef, first in Chicago and then in Carmel, where she worked at the Michelin-starred restaurant L’Auberge. There, during stroller walks with her then-newborn son, she became curious about edible plants and decided to pivot her career. Eventually, Koseba and her husband moved to Sonoma County, and she began to study at The California School of Herbal Studies in Forestville.
In 2014, after her husband took a gig as the chef de cuisine at Single Thread in Healdsburg, Koseba signed on to become the restaurant’s lead forager. It was here that Candice had her first experience with honeybees. Of her time there, she says, “There was a desire to have hives on the (Single Thread) farm, and I saw the opportunity to learn,” Koseba remembered. “As a forager I had become fascinated with observing and anticipating cycles and seasons of life.” Working with a colony of honeybees was a natural extension. She read everything about bees that she could get her hands on. She took classes at Santa Rosa Junior College with Serge Lebesque, a local bee expert. She even joined the Sonoma County Beekeepers Association.
As Koseba’s knowledge and comfort level grew, so too did the number of colonies under her charge. Eventually, she founded Sonoma County Bee Company to manage them all. Today, the company works as a collective; Koseba and fellow beekeepers tend hives all over Sonoma County. They offer basic apiary management, swarm removal and beekeeping consultations. Their priority is, and always will be, the health of the bees and only ever taking that which is a surplus within the hive. They are committed to a thriving bee population, and Candice's beekeeping enthusiasm is second-to-none.
