You're In Business

Mother Bee Ltd. appears to be a legitimate small business producing natural beeswax skincare products, with a history dating back to 2014. However, as a submission for a technology project evaluation, it scores low due to a lack of technical innovation (purely manufacturing/CPG), hyperbolic claims regarding audience reach ('everyone'), and inconsistent submission data (project name listed as 'DeepHunter'). While the revenue figure (£500k lifetime) indicates a functional micro-business, it does not meet the scalability or traction benchmarks of the calibration reference.

Project Details

Description
Mother Bee was born after a family recipe was passed on. Primarily made from bees wax and other oils blended together, it has had great success in treating all sorts of skin conditions on animals & people. Soothe & Protect is the original recipe and other products have been formulated keeping to the tradition. Sweet Relief which was launched in March for Sweet Itch suffers has been a huge success, with instant relief from the itching it heals the skin and repels the flies as well as keeping a barrier between the horse and the midges. Mother Bee has developed the human side in the form of lip balms, Barrier hand cream & Lotion bars, and hopes to develop this range in time. All of which have been very popular with a huge variety of people. I’m pleased to say there is something for everyone! From Baby to Grandfather there is no one who couldn’t benefit. Bees wax is well known for its healing properties. Beeswax is key for maintaining skin texture and health. It has the ability to keep moisture in the skin and the high vitamin A content stimulates the production of skin cells while keeping the skin insulated from environmental factors. Beeswax also brings to the skin the necessary antioxidants for a healthy complexion. These healthy effects come in a package that is completely natural. Even when processed, beeswax is still active biologically and preserves anti-inflammatory, germicidal, antibacterial, and anti-allergenic properties, making it the chosen solution for many skin disorders such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis.
