4 All-Natural, Ancient Ingredients That Your Skin Will Love Now
WOMEN HAVE USED THESE NATURAL INGREDIENTS IN SKIN CARE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
Our planet produces some incredible, all-natural substances for taking care of your skin.
Is it any wonder why women (and yes, men too) have been using these all-natural gifts for skin care for thousands of years?
Citizens of ancient Greece, Rome, China, India, and Egypt are just a few of the early people who used some of these natural (and very healthy) compounds to care for their skin.
Today, we are continuing this tradition here at BOOM!, by using these all-natural ingredients in our skin care.
Here are a few of our favorite ancient, all-natural ingredients that are just as healthy for your skin now, as they were thousands of years ago...

1. Uncooked, Unstrained Honey: A Natural Moisturizer
People have been using honey as a skin-care product for millennia—going all the way back to the milk and honey baths of ancient Greece and Egypt.
Fast forward to today: Here at BOOM!, we use uncooked, unstrained honey in many of our products, including our most popular moisturizer, Boomsilk™.
Here’s why you may want to include honey in your skin care routine, too…
- Honey’s natural properties help maintain your skin’s vibrant appearance.
- Honey is a natural humectant. It attracts and retains moisture while allowing your skin to breathe.
- Honey can soothe your skin and open your pores.
Put that all together and you have a natural moisturizer for your eye area, face, lips and body.

2. Beeswax: A Natural Barrier
Ancient people used beeswax for thousands of years for everything from candles and adhesives to medicines and mummification.
And, of course, skin care.
Here’s why we love beeswax for your skin today:
- Beeswax is a natural occlusive. That means it forms a long-lasting barrier against the elements while letting your skin breathe.
- It holds in your skin’s moisture. The occlusive barrier can also help hold in your skin’s moisture and cut down on dryness.
- It’s a humectant. Beeswax attracts water to keep your skin hydrated.
- It naturally softens your skin. As you might imagine, nutrient-rich beeswax feels soft and smooth.
Those are just a few reasons why we use beeswax in our full-body moisturizers, Boomsilk and Boomstick Glo™.

3. Propolis: A Nourishing Ingredient
Affectionately called “bee glue,” propolis is a resin-like paste that bees gather from the buds and bark of trees. Bees use it to keep their hives germ-free.
Ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians are just a few of the early people who recognized the value of propolis. This bee product was used medicinally, for embalming and making perfume—among other things.
(Yes, it was used for ancient skin treatments, too.)
Skip forward a few millennia: We love propolis for your skin today because...
- It’s a natural sealant. Propolis seals moisture into your skin for a dewy complexion.
- Propolis may reduce redness to help your skin look clearer.
- Propolis is nourishing, leaving you with vibrant, healthy-looking skin.
Here at BOOM!, we use raw, uncooked, unstrained honey and beeswax that naturally contain propolis. And all of our bee products are harvested with sustainable, bee-safe methods.
If you’re looking to try propolis, you’ll find it inside our moisturizers Boomsilk and Boomstick Glo.

4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Another Natural Moisturizer for Your Skin
Extra virgin olive oil is the original skin-care product.
For over 5,000 years, Mediterranean people have used extra virgin olive oil as a skin conditioner, body cleanser, after-bath moisturizer, personal lubricant, massage oil and hair product—to name just a few uses.
Those uses continue to this day. Here’s why…
- It’s a natural moisturizer. Olive oil can soften, smooth and hydrate every inch of your skin.
- Olive oil can soothe irritated or inflamed skin.
- You can use olive oil on every part of your body, making it ideal for skin care.
Today, we continue these traditions here at BOOM! You’ll find all four of these pure, nature-made ingredients in our most popular moisturizer, Boomsilk, as well as our Boomstick Glo.
As you can see, we carefully selected each of these ingredients for their phenomenal (and time-tested) skin-care benefits.
