St. John's wort - olive oil - beeswax cream We transformed the St. John's wort flowers, which grow naturally in the pasture of our apiary (Ağva Kurfalllı plain), into St. John's wort oil by first soaking them in olive oil. Then, we produced this natural cream using 100% of this oil and the beeswax we obtained from our own apiary. The beeswax we produce as beekeepers contains trace amounts of honey, pollen and propolis. We believe that St. John's wort - olive oil and beeswax, which are really important for the skin, will have incredible effects on your skin.
