Honey has long been celebrated as nature’s liquid gold, soothing, hydrating, and rich in restorative properties. In beauty, it’s the ingredient that softens the skin, smooths the lips, nourishes the hair, and even lends fragrance a luminous depth.
We asked five beauty buffs to share the honey-infused products they can’t live without, and the results are as indulgent as they are effective. From Guerlain’s weightless serum to Dior’s amber-sweetened scent, consider this your golden edit of products worth adding to your beauty wardrobe.
Joewsef Maalouf, Founder of Skinfits
This honey-infused skincare ampoule feels like a silky syrup of golden goodness, made with 83% black bee propolis extract. I love how the golden liquid in the glass bottle catches the light like honey poured into sunlight, and how it pairs with COSRX’s science-ey ethos, with the ingredients listed transparently on the bottle. The sensorial experience feels rich, soothing, and intensely hydrating, making this a staple in my skincare wardrobe.

This serum feels like silk in water. Light yet deeply replenishing. Infused with Guerlain’s exclusive honey and royal jelly extracts, it delivers the richness of an oil with the freshness of a serum. I love how it sinks in effortlessly, leaving a luminous veil that makes skin feel instantly comforted and resilient. It’s my go-to for travel recovery or anytime my skin needs a reset. It’s elegant, effective, and endlessly hydrating.
Natalie Kasses, Executive Stylist & Educator at Unik Hair Salon
One of my favourite honey-infused haircare ranges is the Kérastase Curl Manifesto line. Enriched with Manuka Honey, it deeply nourishes my curls, leaving them soft, defined, and full of life. It’s my go-to for hydrated, bouncy curls with a luxurious finish.
Alexia Lawrence-Jones, Founder of Lex Comms
I’m obsessed with the Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil and use it almost every day. One swipe, with or without liner or colour, instantly smooths, plumps, and defines the lips. With its subtle hint of luscious, golden tint, it’s the easiest way to feel polished with minimal effort.
Chimere Cisse, Art Publicist & PR
One of my favourite honey-laced fragrances is Dior’s Tobacolor. The golden, velvety sweetness of honey runs through every note, softening the tobacco and adding a touch of fruity brightness. Wrapped in amber warmth, it feels rich yet luminous, bold yet soft. It is a scent I return to again and again.
