Known for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and — most importantly — hydrating qualities, honey is a great ingredient to have in any skin-care product. Made with a blend of organic honey and aloe, this cream will keep you supple and hydrated well into the next morning. Best off all, this family-owned brand of beekeepers donates one percent of their total earnings annually to Save the Bees, so you can feel good about supporting this company!
