🌿 A NEW OPTION is coming to Budgee Botanicals! 💚

We’re trialling Candelilla Wax — a plant-based wax that gives us the option to make our balms and lip balms beeswax-free and vegan-friendly. 🌱

Don’t worry - our original beeswax products are staying! 🐝💛

We’re simply adding another option for those who are vegan, prefer plant-based ingredients, or can't use beeswax.

Same Budgee Botanicals goodness, just another option to choose from. 💚

We’re excited to put this new wax to the test and see what you think!

Would you be interested in a vegan, beeswax-free option for our balms and lip balms? 🌿

🌿 Bug Balm 🌿

Our natural Bug Balm is handcrafted with Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Clove & Citronella essential oils.
A handy natural companion for enjoying the outdoors & ready for the warmer months 🌿🐝

All things lip balms! 💚🌿💋

A little behind-the-scenes look at some of the lip balms I’ve been busy making, filling, labelling and packaging lately! 🥰

Made in small batches with lots of love and care — and available in a variety of lovely flavours/scents. 🌿💋

Now… if only they would stop disappearing so quickly! 😂
I make them… & somehow they mysteriously vanish! 👀🤣

Thank you so much to everyone who continues to support my little business. Every purchase, repeat order, recommendation and kind word means more than you know. ❤️

🌿 Behind the scenes at Budgee Botanicals 🌿

I thought I was getting ahead of myself and stocking up for the busy months ahead… 😂

But apparently you lovely people have other plans! 😅
Every time I make a batch, they seem to keep selling, so I'm finding myself making larger and larger batches just to try and stay ahead!

With some big markets and events coming up over the next couple of months, I'm putting in the work now to build up plenty of stock — especially of some of your favourites. 🌿

Measuring, melting, pouring, labelling and packing happening behind the scenes… but honestly, I'm not complaining! 🥰

It's such a wonderful feeling knowing that the little products I make are finding their way into your homes and becoming favourites. ❤️

So if you've been eyeing off a Budgee Botanicals balm or lip balm, you might want to grab one at the Toowoomba Farmers' Market next time you're there.

🌿 Handmade in small batches. Made with care. Budgee Botanicals 🌿

It’s been busy behind the scenes lately at Budgee Botanicals! 🌿

My lip balms have been selling so quickly, and while I still have some available, I’m busy making more to keep up with demand and build up plenty of stock for the busy season ahead!

Today’s batch includes Lemon Balm & Peppermint and Rose & Hibiscus lip balms, made with nourishing olive oil, coconut oil & mango butter 🌹🌿

It’s keeping me busy, but I’m so incredibly grateful for all the love and support for my little business 😊

If you’ve been wanting to grab one, there are still some available!

Making new batches of your favourites, stocking up and storing them away, ready for the busy season ahead! 🌿

September through to November is shaping up to be a busy time, and I’m getting prepared!

🌸 Spring’s Blessings

From natural ingredients to the finished balm. 🌿

Every tin of our Skin Repair Balm with Plantain, H**p Seed & Black Seed Oil is handmade in small batches with care and attention to quality. From carefully measuring and blending nourishing ingredients to pouring, setting, labelling, and packaging, every step is done with love. 💚

Made with natural ingredients chosen to help nourish, repair and support healthy-looking skin, it's a balm I'm proud to create for you and your family.

Thank you for supporting a small local business, it truly means the world. ❤️

This is my daughter's new little business ❤️
