About Mama’s Beeswax

Welcome to Mama’s Beeswax, a Surrey-based artisan brand specialising in handmade beeswax and honey products. Founded by Helen Worwood, a passionate female beekeeper in Epsom. Mama’s Beeswax is dedicated to producing local honey, natural skincare, eco-friendly household essentials, and beeswax candles —all made in small batches using beeswax and honey from my own hives.

Why I Started Mama’s Beeswax

I began beekeeping over a decade ago, and what started as a hobby and a de-stress from my day job has become my life’s passion. Over the years, I’ve become increasingly aware of the impact of pollution, plastic waste, and chemicals on both our planet and our daily lives. I wanted to make a change—starting with my own habits, such as switching from bottled shower gels to natural soap bars, liquid to bar shampoos and reducing my reliance on single-use plastics one bottle at a time.

Mama’s Beeswax was born from extensive research into traditional products and how beeswax and honey can replace synthetic, chemical-laden products in our everyday routines. My goal is to rejuvenate traditional products, so that they are skin kind and beautifully effective and not simply sustainable – they help us all say “buzz off” to plastic.

Sustainable & Ethical Craftsmanship

Everything at Mama’s Beeswax is:
Handmade by me in Surrey – I personally craft each product in small batches.
Eco-friendly & sustainable – I choose high-quality, plant-based ingredients and source responsibly, prioritising minimal packaging and low-impact shipping.
Plastic-free & zero-waste – I package in recyclable aluminium tins or paper wrappers wherever possible. Sticky labels are made from cane fibre waste and paper labels are loaded with up to 20 different native wild flower seeds so you can plant them and help feed the bees!
cruelty free tested & trusted – My products are cruelty-free and tested by myself, my family, and close friends.

When you choose Mama’s Beeswax products you're supporting an independent lady beekeeper and artisan crafter, helping to protect bees, nature, and our planet—one sustainable product at a time.
