If you are like me, a beauty enthusiast struggling with hyperpigmentation and body discoloration, you will appreciate the formula that sets these products apart.

It Works…
In severe cases of eczema, prescription treatments may be the best route, but many of us with eczema-prone skin can get by with over-the-counter products filled with emollient and humectant ingredients to rehydrate and restore the dry, cracked skin caused by eczema.
Every botanical extract, seed oil, or mineral used has unique qualities providing endless skincare possibilities and holistically boosting skin health and overall wellness – inside and out.
With a deep-set commitment to sustainable production methods and delivering high-quality clean beauty products safely formulated to address hyperpigmentation concerns. Honey Botanics is setting new standards. When searching for sustainable beauty options that uplift people alongside its customer’s skin health needs may seem like an unattainable goal. However, it is not impossible.
The answer? Look no further than Honey Botanics. An environmentally-friendly company committed to community development. Their dedication goes past manufactured items. They provide vegan, cruelty, gluten, and sulfite-free product lines designed explicitly for those seeking assurance in ethical brands.
The Woman Behind the Honey Botanics Brand
Behind every brand lies a unique story that can be substantial or insubstantial. However, in the case of Honey Botanics, there is an underlying purpose behind its creation. As a result, significance and depth are infused throughout the product line.
Aisha Darboe founded Honey Botanics; as an unassuming entrepreneur hailing from Gambia, Darboe is not your typical entrepreneur. Instead, she is mild-mannered and humble yet passionate about helping others achieve healthy skin through her beauty brand Honey Botanics. Perhaps it stems from her own struggles with eczema, which drove her to create this brand out of necessity when traditional medication failed her after years of use.
When customers enter Honey Botanics, it is more than buying products. First, Darboe questions them on what could be causing their hyperpigmentation or any other skincare issue they are facing. She then guides them properly toward optimal results through perfect product recommendations tailored specifically for them.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Darboe as we delved into what it means to be a woman forging new paths towards healthy living through entrepreneurship like hers: “I have experienced challenges finding people who believe in my brand’s mental impact, but I know in my heart that I have created something special, safe, accessible and affordable.”
Being a Black woman in business.
During our dialogue, I posed the question about being a Black woman in business. We touched upon how difficult it can be to prove oneself worthy as a woman and a Black individual. Undoubtedly many of us have had obstacles piled against us where we must work three or four times harder than our peers just for recognition or respect.
Furthermore, while there may be an urge to exclusively collaborate with other Black-owned businesses, practicality sometimes prevails over passion when running one’s own company. However, Darboe deeply admires her local community. They have shown their love through unwavering support since she moved into her new space last year.
Products we Fall in Love with and will continue to repurchase.
Remember those dark days when hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and body acne dehydration struggles were all we could think about?
Fortunately, a great skincare brand like Honey Botanics offers holistic solutions to these problems. Personally speaking, I found their Kojic Acid Face Soap and Konjac face sponge incredibly effective in revitalizing my skin within days of use. By the end of the second week of consistent usage, my friends could not stop raving about my glowing complexion. Meanwhile, Kojic Body Soap did what no other product could do previously. It faded away the discoloration on my underarms caused by natural deodorants.
The Detox Body Soap and Glutathione Soap also significantly improved my body’s acne and dehydration issues. So not only me but even my daughter benefited greatly from this amazing range of products.

Regarding Brooklyn’s Lifestyle content sharing philosophy – authenticity reigns supreme. As someone who values experience over everything else, rest assured that anything I share with you has been first vetted personally by yours truly. Ninety-five of what I share, I have personally tried or experienced myself, so when it came time to write about Honey Botanics, I did not want to feature just another Black-owned brand worth supporting [although yes, they are].
