The honey retains some of the beautiful floral-citrus flavor and fragrance of those plants. About a pound of honey contains the essence of roughly two million flowers. To make orange blossom honey water, we mix orange blossom honey with tincture of benzoin and rose oil, and disperse the mix in water.

Pineapple has a gentle but powerful ability to stimulate and refine the complexion.Native to the Americas, the pineapple plant has succulent, spiky leaves, closely spaced in a rosette on a thick stem. The clusters of light purple flowers become fleshy and fuse together to form the pineapple fruit.

Blueberries are full of antioxidants and essential fatty acids, which help regulate moisture, while their high tannin content gives them antiseptic qualities.
