Honey & Lemon

In ancient times, honey was considered as food for the sages, and Provencal beekeepers still believe it to be so. Honey is one of the very few ingredients whose production is 100% exclusive to nature. It is also one of the oldest-known beauty ingredients. The softening and moisturizing benefits of honey delights the body from head to toe. Rich in sugar, mineral salts and vitamins, it is a highly effective skin treatment. Honey holds water molecules to the surface of the epidermis, thus strengthening the hydrolipidic film (the skin's natural barrier against harsh environmental elements) and preventing drying.

About André Nevière,
a Beekeeper from Valensole

André Nevière has about fifty beehives, which he inherited from his father. Around them is the Valensole plateau, where his bees gather pollen. From the first days of spring, rosemary and thyme can be found on the plateau. In the summer, it is covered with lavender. When André Nevière collects his honey, he does not bother with the cumbersome cosmonaut’s outfit intended to protect him. He does not worry about getting stung. He even says that his bees are gentle. And then there is this exquisite honey… Mr. Nevière is no show-off, but how could anyone not be proud? As he says, it must be acknowledged that lavender honey is "the finest, one of the best honeys there could ever be."
