SOS Bee Ointment – why we developed it
Natural help for skin that needs protection
We are often asked why we have a bee ointment in our product range – and the answer is simple: because we wanted to create a product that reliably helps in many minor skin emergencies, completely without chemicals, fillers and plastic packaging.
Many of us are familiar with this: chapped hands after winter, cracked skin from frequent disinfection, small wounds, or insect bites that just won't heal properly. That's exactly what SOS Bee Balm is designed for. It's a skincare product that draws on traditional knowledge about resins, bee products, and plant oils, translating it into a modern formula.
Our motivation: 100% active ingredients, 0% unnecessary extras
We deliberately developed the ointment to be water-free . Why? Because water in creams always necessitates preservatives and stabilizers. Instead, we rely on 100% natural active ingredients that noticeably nourish and soothe the skin.
- Beeswax protects and binds moisture without clogging the skin.
- Larch resin has traditionally had anti-inflammatory properties and supports skin regeneration.
- Propolis is a powerful natural product of bees with antibacterial and wound-healing properties.
- Olive, almond and castor oils provide intensive moisture, supply the skin with vitamins and make it supple.
This resulted in an ointment that not only cares for the skin but also makes a small contribution to the rediscovery of natural remedies.
Application: a true all-rounder
Whether it's chapped skin , minor wounds , rough lips , insect bites , or stressed hands and feet – the SOS Bee Balm accompanies you in many everyday situations. Just a thin layer is enough to soothe the skin and leave a protective film.
Sustainability considered from the very beginning
Our products are designed to be good not only for your skin but also for the environment. That's why the ointment comes in a glass jar with an upcycled lid made from recycled wood. Each lid is unique – and the jar can easily be reused or recycled later.
From idea to shelf – and to you
We are particularly proud that SOS Bee Balm is now available not only online from us, but also on the shelves at Globetrotter and Alnatura . There, it reaches precisely the people for whom we developed it: everyone who values natural, effective, and sustainable care.
Our conclusion
For us, SOS Bee Balm is more than just a product – it's a statement of conviction. It demonstrates that natural cosmetics can be effective, honest, and sustainable . We wanted to create a skincare product that we could wholeheartedly recommend – to family, friends, and anyone who wants to give their skin a little extra protection in their daily routine.
And for those who haven't seen it yet --> our pitch salve is inspired by bee salve and its traditional formulation. It also contains larch and beeswax, but with even fewer ingredients and at least the same effectiveness. There's also a blog post about it and even more information!
