Get To Know: The Honey Pot Co.

Last Updated on November 20, 2022

The Honey Pot Co. (“Co” as in Company) is a black-owned, toxin-free, dermatologist-tested, and plant-based feminine care brand that’s helping to steer the conversations about vaginal health on the right path.

Brands like The Honey Pot Co. are so important because they are positively altering perceptions about female sexual health. Unfortunately, these conversations are still being held in occasional hushed whispers. So, these brands are needed more than ever to turn up the volume and declare it a priority—as it should be.

In this article, we dive into a sugary cauldron to get to know a brand that’s pH-ighting the good fight: The Honey Pot Company.

TL;DR: The Honey Pot Co.’s brand profile

The origins of The Honey Pot Co.

The origin story behind The Honey Pot Co. is a personal one. CEO and co-founder, Bea Dixon, struggled with bacterial vaginosis (BV) for many months. Unfortunately, there was no existing prescription or remedy for her condition at the time. However, as luck would have it, Dixon found a solution through a dream.

She narrated that one night, an ancestor paid her a life-changing visit in her dream. This ancestor gave her a precious gift—a list of herbal ingredients to cure her BV! So, with her ancestor’s help, she created her own solution. This solution is what we know today as The Honey Pot’s feminine wash—the first product the brand eventually launched.

After healing herself, she decided it wouldn’t be right to just stop there. So, she went on to change the lives of other women too, by starting The Honey Pot Co. Through this, she broke into the feminine care industry with something it’d never seen before— the first plant-based feminine care brand.

After launching the wash, Dixon realized that her feminine care regimen entailed so much more than a vulva cleanser. She needed to take wipes, menstrual products, and treatment products into account. As a result, the brand expanded their product offerings to cater to a wider range of women’s needs.

Today, The Honey Pot Co. offers everything from washes, wipes, tampons, and pads, to vulva cream, deodorants, and suppositories. And, every single product is formulated with high-quality botanicals and herbs that have powerful benefits.

The Honey Pot Co.‘s brand philosophy

From the importance of pap tests to PCOS awareness, there are so many conversations today that center on women’s health. One key conversation under this umbrella is vaginal health and why it should be every woman’s priority.

This conversation is especially important because the majority of us have very likely received only the most minimal, unhelpful sexual health education from our school systems (and maybe even from our parents, too). So, it’s crucial we unlearn the wrong things, learn the right things, and re-emphasize the things that’s always been true about vaginal health.

One of The Honey Pot Company’s slogans is Made by humans with vaginas, for humans with vaginas. This means that every product from them is not just made by a woman, but by one who’s experienced the same problem you’re trying to solve. According to Bea Dixon:

“Our target customer is any human with a vagina that wants to use clean products for their health and wellness.”

BEA DIXON (FOUNDER), BYRDIE

According to board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Wendy Goodall, the vagina is “one the most sophisticated parts” of the female body (Source). This is because the bacteria living inside must be in perfect balance for the organ to perform at optimal health.

The Acid-Base pH of your vagina creates the “perfect balance” which keeps the good bacteria alive. It also keeps bad bacteria and fungi that cause all kinds of infections in check. This balance is super delicate, as the slightest stimulus can easily tip it to the wrong side. Therefore, every woman needs both the knowledge and tools to be able to maintain a normal, healthy vaginal pH balance. This is where The Honey Pot Co. steps in to give women both.

The Honey Pot Company is on a mission to normalize women’s health and bodily functions. They advocate for more feminine care products that are “powered by herbs”. They also advocate for increased inclusivity in the feminine care industry. Their products are made for the woman looking to give her honeypot a fresh start!

The Honey Pot Company’s product range

We’ve heard for years that the vagina is a self-cleaning organ that doesn’t need any special cleaning products. Sure, that’s very true. But, your vulva—which includes the clitoris, vaginal lips, and the area surrounding the vaginal opening—doesn’t self-cleanse. This is why The Honey Pot Co. created cleansing, soothing, and healing products to use externally, never internally.

The brand’s product range has just about everything you need for your intimate health. These include feminine washes, deodorants, wipes, pads (for both menstruation and incontinence), tampons, menstrual cups, suppositories, bath bombs, vulva cream, and organic moisturizing lubricants. They also offer their products in curated sets for daily use known as “Rituals” and “Systems”.

Let’s explore 10 of their key product lines:

As we mentioned earlier, the products come in bundles as well. These are called “Rituals”. They include Normal Daily Ritual, Sensitive Daily Ritual, Cucumber Daily Ritual, Your First Period Ritual, Period Care Ritual, Sex Ritual, Nighttime Ritual, Support Ritual (for rebalancing pH), and Sooth Ritual.
