At Le Couvent des Minimes, honey and beeswax from the 70 hives were collected for food and also to make candles. Today, the "Natural healthy recipes" from our range "Couvent  des Minimes" (www.lecouventdesminimes.fr) combine honey for its fortifying properties and shea butter, together with a selection of beneficial plants. In this same range, the "Energizing recipes" mix revitalising verbena with invigorating lemon ; in the "Calming and relaxing beauty recipes" essential lavender oils with extract of moisturizing white acacia. All our beauty preparations include our best seller, "Gardener's balm" (shea butter and 7 magical plants) for the hands, and the brand new "Intensive Hair Treatment "
