Honeybee Gardens
Honeybee Gardens was created in 1995 by author and herbalist Melissa J. Hertzler. Years of herbal study prompted Ms. Hertzler to create natural personal care products for her and her family. What began as kitchen cosmetics soon turned into a profitable enterprise. Since 1995, Honeybee Gardens, Inc. has operated under one simple concept, "Create pure, all-natural bath and body care products made from only the finest organic ingredients, offer them at a reasonable price, and treat every customer like a friend." Along the way, they've managed to do some things they're very proud of. Honeybee Gardens products are created entirely of natural materials. You can actually pronounce their ingredients! They reuse and recycle as much as possible and, perhaps most importantly, they DO NOT test ANY of their products on animals (those are strict orders from their two dachshunds, seven pussycats, 'Pekoe' the lovebird, the turtle and the fish)! We carry their waterbased nail polish, lipsticks, hair rinses, powders, goatmilk soaps and lip balms.

  LIVING NATURE'S STORY  

Suzanne Hall is the owner of Living Nature. I'd like to tell you in her words, how the company began and where it's going today:

"Living Nature began on a day back in 1987 when I knew I needed to find something with direction and that I felt driven about. Having studied analytical chemistry (by mistake), art history, art, various natural therapies to various degrees, I knew several things:

·I wanted to do something that was honorable trading (needing to feed my family)

·That highlighted the importance of keeping New Zealand unpolluted

·That involved New Zealand native plants

·That was involved in health and the well being of people

·It had to be environmentally sound and not include the use, exploitation or abuse of animals, people or the environment.

·I also needed to be able to work from home. It needed to not be dependent on the weather or the local economy.

From these seeds the idea was born, firstly to produce medicines, and then after studying further the human organism, I realised how important the skin is to our health and how it reflects internal health. I then realised not only did I feel passionate and inspired by the idea of skin care, but instinctively knew how it worked and that there really was not many products or people that dealt with it holistically. I wanted to make creams that had wonderful textures and worked, not greasy balms that most people didn’t like using on their skin.

My own history of severe acne, both on my face and back, made me decide to work with the condition of acne first. I did not like using oily creams, and began making gels that cooled, soothed and did not clog the skin. Our New Zealand native plant Harakeke (Flax, but different to the Linseed flax Linus) has a great gel that while a bit tricky to extract forms a great base for other active ingredients.

Because I didn’t realize that plant-based preservatives hadn’t been invented yet, I didn’t realize it was such a difficult thing to achieve, and set about finding health giving ingredients that also prevented moulds and fungi forming.

I was delighted that the first gel made from Harakeke, Manuka honey and Manuka essential oil worked so well for my acne condition. And so it began …

TODAY

It seems only yesterday that the project began but it is now 14 years later. As I see my first son grow taller than me and into a young man, Living Nature has grown into a more mature business. We've been through many mistakes, bad decisions, good decisions, lots of luck and support from friends, customers and other business people.

We are still situated in Kerikeri, New Zealand, and supply customers in many parts of the globe. Our team of over 60 people are really enthusiastic about promoting New Zealand and providing wholesome skincare for the rest of the planet.

You'll be able to see on our site the full range of products that are available to you. We are working with various groups to grow more plants and much of our time is spent trying to convince our government to protect our unique position here in NZ by promoting an organic and GE-free environment.

TOMORROW

We're always bringing out new products and have several that will be launched over the next year.. We will hugely be focusing on awareness of GE-free ingredients, and more medicinal ingredients from our New Zealand shores.

Why Made in New Zealand?

New Zealand is very isolated and there are many areas that have never been sprayed or contaminated with pollutants. Many of the plants are unusual and have evolved differently to other countries which have prolific mammals.

Seventy percent of our products are derived from New Zealand plants. As the raw material industry in New Zealand grows, we will be expanding this. The issues that are important for New Zealand is to focus on how precious this land really is, and to protect its shores as a unique place on the planet.

Living Nature is based in Kerikeri, a rural town of New Zealand with a population of under 10,000. The staff and I all enjoy this special place, with beautiful rivers and coastline, native bush and an abundance of warmth in the people who live here. New Zealand people on a whole are pioneers, adaptable to constant change which has helped in the creation of Living Nature. The people accept and encourage new ideas, always looking outside the square for new and innovative solutions.

Our factory here is based on several acres along with a retail shop and clinics. Our plants are all grown away from our premises on land far away from any roads."

She adds, "There’s a lot of important issues to think about when we’re putting products in and on our bodies. Cosmetics & skincare products applied externally can effect the whole chemistry of our metabolism and can even seriously poison us. As time progresses and biochemists study how we interact with our environment, we are starting to realize the effects of preservatives, radiated products and polluted animal supplies on the human body and on the globe.

We’re having to think about things that we’ve never had to think about in history before.  I urge you to consider not only the effect of what you’re using on your own body but also the chain reaction caused by how we effect our surrounding environment as well. The planet is quickly, very quickly feeling the effects of human beings living as part of it. We are actually destroying the very foundations that sustain life itself. We hope in these pages to bring to light or at least redirect you to the larger external issues that are effecting us all."

 

  MARTINA GEBHARDT'S STORY  

Martina Gebhardt is the owner of Martina Gebhardt Naturkosmetik. I'd like to share with you how the company began and where it's going today:

For more than fifteen years the self-taught Martina Gebhardt produces  and commercializes natural cosmetics under her own name. Actually the company founder is an architect who started very early with the production  of natural cosmetics for her own use, since she herself suffered skin problems as a teenager. Producing cosmetics for her friends and relatives was  such a success that she started a production facility.  Until this day she  supplies to numerous natural products stores, wholesalers, and  cosmetologists. In the meantime she employs 25 workers and the demand for her pure natural products grows continuously.

Throughout all these years the House Gebhardt not only maintained faithfully its valuable recipes, but also  kept the company's philosophy: products derived from dead animals or raw  materials for which animals had to be killed are absolutely taboo; animal testing is rejected as well: no synthetic or imitation of raw materials are  used; no artificial colors or scents; no preservatives; no emulsifiers; no artificial light protection filters; no paraffin and no surfactants. One may wonder: what ingredients do these natural cosmetics contain at all? It's very  simple: they consist of 100% natural components from controlled biological  farms or following the strict Demeter-regulations. Producing according to rhythmic, bio-dynamical rules and the corresponding combination of raw materials guarantees a minimum shelf life of the finished product of one and a half years. The basis of these care products is beeswax and wool wax,  combined with high quality oils, herb extracts and essential oils.

The  production of make up cosmetics is completely banned according to the company's philosophy since it would require the use of components for  which animals have to be killed or the use of artificial coloring agents. Under the same token, no shampoos or foam baths containing surfactants  are produced. The product spectrum is composed of various articles such as creams, milks, facial lotions and high quality oils for all different skin types.

In principle Martina Gebhardt Natural Cosmetics abstains from animal testing and from product contents for which animals have to suffer or  be killed. The company is a member of the International Manufacturers against Animal Testing in the Cosmetic Industry (IHTK).

She adds, "The term cosmetic is derived from the greek word KOSMOS and means: world order, the order of nature. Cosmetic is the art of preserve and promote the order, and thus the beauty, of the body. The oldest known recipes for cosmetics out of natural ingredients date from Ancient Egypt. They demonstrate that it is possible to create creams and ointments without synthetic preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers and perfumes. Bees wax and wool wax are excellent base materials for skin care creams: they contain a natural emulsifier which helps skin stay soft and elastic. Genuine essential oils, propolis and rose water reduce bacteria growth, thus functioning as a mild preservative.

In Ancient Egypt as well as among native peoples all over the world much attention was paid to the time of the day and the time of the year when ointments would be prepared. Healers and medicine men watched the seasons and the movements of planets and stars – and noticed that plants which were collected and processed at different times were not equally effective in their healing effectiveness. Traditional Indians in Central America still prepare essential oils and ointments "according to the laws of nature". Within our company we have tried to reapply some of this old knowledge not only in the way we grow our plant materials but also how we compose and prepare our products ("biologic-dynamic", "organic", "spagyric").

The formidable successes of modern chemistry have changed the face of the earth and our lives to an incredible extent, and much of it has contributed to a more worthwhile existence for many. As far as cosmetic products are concerned, however, mineral oil and synthetic products have taken over the market – with the consequence that the number of people suffering from allergies and other skin problems has increased exponentially over the past decades, reaching epidemic proportions.

In our company we are moving into a different direction by using only high quality natural raw materials and composing them into a blend which incorporates some of the ancient principles of COSMOS/COSMETIC but also the knowledge and advanced production technology our modern age has to offer. The quality of skin care products depends primarily on the freshness of the raw materials and the recentness of their preparation. FRESH herbs and oils are the "secret ingredients" responsible for the high quality of our products.  These raw materials we obtain almost exclusively from "organic growers" ("controlled biological cultivation" or "DEMETER-contract-cultivation"). Only passingly should it be mentioned that we do not, of course, use any raw materials from dead animals."
