Where We Started

Hey there, it's John. I'm the founder of JW Honey, and I'm obsessed with your health. That's why JW Honey is full of non-toxic alternatives to many traditional skin care and hair care options.

Back in 2016, I noticed that I was getting flare ups of dermatitis on my hands, forearms, elbows, even my feet. I tried eliminating things from my diet, changing my sheets, even changing my clothes to all cotton. But it wasn't until I changed the soap and shampoo that I was using until things started to get better. But even with buying the best stuff I could find at the store, I was still using ingredients like fragrance, phosphates, and sulfates. Once I started making my own soaps and moisturizers, my skin and hair made a complete 180.

In 2024 I started sharing what I was making with some friends that were also struggling with skin issues, and after hearing stories from them about how they were healing, I decided that I should pass that healing on to you.

One of the things that grinds my gears about the cosmetics business is the lack of transparency. That's why we tell you WHY we put the things we do in our products, and why they all work together. If you want to learn more, go over to the Our Ingredients page and take a look at the list we've put together that details what we use and why.
