Who doesn’t have a jar of honey in the pantry? A naturally healthy and versatile product, honey has a place in many a recipe but it is often used as an eco-friendly ingredient to keep our skin supple, too – you only need to browse the internet for a second to find hundreds of honey-based face masks, body scrubs, and hair treatments. 

In fact, honey has been known as a precious gift of nature since the neolithic era and the times of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, as demonstrated by a cave painting found near Valencia (Spain) that shows a man collecting honey from a comb.
