Our Commitment to Herbs: How We Embrace the Power of Plants

Since the very beginning, The Honey Pot Company has been guided by one simple idea: plants have always held the power to nurture, balance, and comfort. Herbs have been at the heart of everything we do, from our very first product to the innovations that continue to shape the future of personal care. Today, we celebrate our journey with herbs, our ongoing commitment to plant-derived wellness, and the exciting new ways we are continuing to evolve.

Herbs Have Always Led Us

Our story began with a dream—literally. Before The Honey Pot Company was born, our founder, CEO, and Chief Innovation Officer, Beatrice Dixon, had a vision that would change everything. In this dream, she was gifted a plant-derived formula that would become our first-ever product: The Foaming Wash. From that moment, Beatrice knew that herbs would be the foundation of our brand’s mission to create holistic vaginal wellness care.

“For centuries, herbs and botanicals have been used across cultures for their healing, restorative, and adaptogenic properties, particularly in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Here at The Honey Pot, we are reviving and refining these time-honored remedies, bringing them into modern formulations that support wellness today.

The Honey Pot studies the benefits of each herb individually - we also focus on how they synergize with other ingredients to create powerful, harmonious blends. Take our Foaming Washes for example: we combine deeply nourishing Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), soothing Calendula, and balancing Apple Cider Vinegar to provide for our human’s most intimate needs.

We aim to craft herbal blends that engage the senses while delivering targeted, effective support. Because at its core, working with herbs is not just formulation…it is about balance, harmony, and the timeless power of nature.” - Alix Ozaki Lo, Director of Product Development

Working with herbs requires not just knowledge but also creativity - to transform them into products that are beautiful but also deeply effective and functional.

What We are Excited About Now

Guided by Beatrice’s expertise and leadership, our innovation team has continued to push boundaries in plant-derived care. That same commitment to harnessing the wisdom of herbs led to a groundbreaking moment in menstrual care—the creation of our Herbal Pads.

“When we launched our herbal pads, we were not just creating a menstrual care product. We thoughtfully chose essential oil blends, OCS certified organic cotton, and an ultra-absorbent core, introducing innovation that centered comfort, not just function.

A combination of plant-derived wellness, of generational knowledge, of listening to our bodies and trusting nature to meet us there. Herbs like mint, lavender, and aloe have been trusted for generations to soothe, cool, and calm—and we believed it was time they showed up in modern period care, too.

Using innovation with intention, created a shift in the way humans thought about period care. It created herbal infused moments that our community looks forward to. A way to feel seen, supported, and even a little bit loved on, during a time that can often feel anything but.” - Lavory Lindsey, VP of Innovation

While our Cooling Herbal Pads have been a community favorite, we listened to those who wanted to explore the benefits of herbs without mint. The result? Our newest innovation: The Calming Pad formulated with Ashwagandha, Lavender, and Lemon Balm to ease skin irritation for a moment of pure Zen. Innovation is about listening as much as it is about creating.

Our Vision for the Future

With every product we develop, we ask ourselves: How can we support our community through each phase of life? What does our community need, and how can plants support it?

The future of The Honey Pot Company is rooted in continued exploration. And as the landscape of vaginal wellness evolves, we are staying at the forefront—learning, innovating, and growing alongside our community.

At the helm of it all is Beatrice Dixon, leading us with an unwavering commitment to herbs andplant-derived care. Her vision continues to guide our journey, ensuring that we stay true to the mission that started it all: harnessing the power of herbs to support, comfort, and care for Humans with Vaginas everywhere.
