Ok so you might ask what have Bees got to do with skincare, but in actual fact, they have a lot to do with nearly EVERYTHING on our planet!  Bees play an incredibly important part in pollination, particularly in agriculture. Cereal crops are wind pollinated, but virtually all fruit and vegetables are pollinated by insects; nearly entirely by bees. It has been estimated that one third of ALL the food we eat relies on pollination by bees, or 70 out of the 100 crop species that feed 90% of the population.

And yet despite the literal wonders of the world, humans are destroying this beautiful planet and everything on it at a rate unprecedented in over TEN THOUSAND YEARS.  Here at White Rabbit Skincare, this does not sit easy with us at all, and we are determined to make a change - every little helps, after all!

(After all, remember that a whopping 60% of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream!) Camellia Oil - what is it?? Latin name: Camellia Kissi Oil There are actually three different kinds of flower that Camellia Oil (or also known as Tea Seed Oil) can come from and these are the Camellia oleifera, Camellia japonica and the Camellia sinensis plants. We use Camellia...
