Slide Ridge Citrus Hand Balm Recommended by Whom You Know


This is the perfect hand balm to keep next to the sink in your kitchen! It’s made completely from all natural ingredients… how many creams, balms or lotions do you know of that only contain FOUR ingredients, all of which are completely natural? My guess is very few! This hand balm is excellent, and I use some just about any time I’m passing through my kitchen. It’s soothing on your skin and smells great – but not too strong!

Slide Ridge might call this product "Hand Balm", but once it's out of the jar, this Lotion Bar will want to be rubbed all over your body. It's a great moisturizer for after the bath, and adds a subtle protective coat to your skin with its beeswax base. It comes in a handy little jar, which you turn over, rap it once, and open. Out slides this handful of solid moisturizer that begs to be used anywhere you choose. Keep it in the fridge to help it last, as a cooling refresher after a workout or a soothing touch in the summer months. The luscious ingredients that this product line uses make for soft skin that relaxes into the natural oils and grows young under its touch. It will become your best on-flight friend, tucked into your bag, since it's not a liquid. Slideridge will have to develp an entire spa line of products now, because this one little item just begs for company. It's time for a Bee Fanclub, to be sure.

Honey Bee Citrus Hand Balm is created with finest ingredients of: beeswax, coconut oil, avocado oil, mango butter, cocoa butter and essential oils. Luxuriate your skin with this Honey Bee Citrus Body Balm. This body skin balm is formulated for your soothing pleasure. Support this welcoming product Made in the U.S.A.; South Syracuse, Utah.






Martin James began his beekeeping dreams at the age of 8 when he asked to attend a class at the local university (USU). He was too young, but the following year, he persuaded his mother to enroll and the professor allowed Martin to come along with her. His fascination for bees has never waned.

About a dozen years ago, Martin along with his sister Karla decided to get serious about beekeeping with a desire to make his passion his profession. Martin had already built a successful floor covering business, but decided it was time to follow his boyhood dreams. Since that time, Slide Ridge has grown from a few beehives to thousands of beehives and millions of bees. The operation now employs not only Martin, but his brother, two sisters, and other full and part-time staff. His parents have contributed their expertise from the beginning and continue to bring meaningful experience and service to the company.

After a few years of pollination and honey sales, Martin decided it was time to create a new, unique product, using the honey from his bees. The goal was to diversify the company and provide better revenue from derivative honey products. We’re beekeepers, and to us, honey is art, sunshine, captured in a jar. But we weren’t satisfied with beautiful honey; we wanted to make something different, something no one else was doing, something amazing! So, we decided to use our beautiful honey to make vinegar, from scratch, without any prior knowledge of how to do it.

It took seven years to understand and perfect the process: seven years of patience, seven years of setbacks, seven years of progress, until finally, we had the perfect vinegar, the perfect flavor. The end result was a sweet Honey Wine Vinegar unlike anything we have ever tasted. It retains the sweetness of the honey and radiates the strength and beauty of the sunshine that is its ultimate source. Hand crafted and tended through a custom 18 month process, we bottle the essential joy of the sun!

The “Bee Simple” skin care line follows our clean label attitude we use in making all of our food products. Keep the ingredients “simple”. With the help of third generation Slide Ridge family member Taleen, she brings her creative and high energy personality into the skin care product line.

She has combined natures hard working raw ingredients for a product that will give you results you will love. Coconut oil, Cocoa butter, and bees wax are just a few of the ingredients that make our lotion bars so replenishing. Not only will your skin feel hydrated but you will start to see it heal. While the oils and butters hydrate and heal your skin the bees wax places a protective layer to seal in moisture. Find relief from skin rashes, eczema, and even psoriasis. Rub it on your feet and see those calluses start to fade away. Give our lotion bar a try and let nature show you what it’s made of.

Our Honeybee Citrus Hand Balm combines the light honey scent of the beeswax with the tangy fresh smell of your favorite citrus fruits. This is our most popular scent with both men and women. Brightens your spirits and boosts your energy.
