Review on 🐝 Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream - 3.4oz Jar, Enhanced SEO by Chad Slaughter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

NOT THE SAME PRODUCT - cheaply processed ingredients that don't work!

I have used a product with this name for many years. Ingredient List (old version): Water, Cocoa Butter, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Glycerin & Royal Jelly, ORGANIC Aloe Leaf Juice, Castor Oil, Olive Oil before you hit the chemicals (the rest of the list includes other natural oils and extracts, as well as no readily identifiable preservatives New and DEFINITELY NOT IMPROVED Version: Ingredients: Water, Aloe Leaf Juice (no longer "Organic" and replaced Cocoa Butter with #2 (now #7 on the list), Glycerin (no royal jelly for ingredient #22), Glyceryl Monostearate (Emulsifier), Castor Oil, Cocoa Butter (#2 through #7), Cetearyl Alcohol, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Lauryl Laureate, Stearic Acid, Hydrogenated Cocoglycerides, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Natural Beeswax. (with #4 through #14 and now mostly through replaced with a processed form that emulsifies more oils), Olive Oil (#9 through #15), Shea Butter (#5 through #16) - a total of 8 new chemicals have been added .ikats, high quality ingredients have been traded in favor of cheaper, processed substitutes and standard preservatives moved down. Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate are now included in this product. The lid no longer says "naturally protects and moisturizes", which is appropriate as the new version doesn't do any of the 3 - it's not as natural, it smears the hand, doesn't have the old version's magic of being non-greasy . while softening and moisturizing the skin and keeping it protected throughout the day. Keep your money until they realize their mistake and bring back the old formula. You can buy much better products for much less than the new version. What used to be my favorite gift, as well as my daily hand cream, is no longer on my shopping list. Additionally, I totally dislike Savannah Bee products - if they're stuffing a product with cheap chemical substitutes, I think why won't they do the same with their entire product line and trade a well-deserved reputation for quality they no longer deserve. As I work on this review, I have the previous version in my right hand and the new product in my left. Just tested. My right hand is soft and smooth, without a trace of fat. When I touch my left hand, that finger gets greasy, but when I press I can still feel the dry skin texture. I hate it so much when great products are sacrificed for the cheap pursuit of profit.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Not as good as it says it is
