About HoneyDrop

"For as long as I can remember, I've felt a pull toward expressing myself and helping people. Following that pull led me to a deep love of the earth, and my own healing experience with natural ingredients gave me a real appreciation for nature and the quiet miracle of life itself.

I started making self care creations simply to express that love. Over time, I felt called to share them, and that's how HoneyDrop was born.

Every product I make starts with high quality botanicals and oils, chosen for their purity and for what they actually do for your skin. I formulate and handcraft every batch myself, in small quantities, so I can bring the same care to the hundredth as I did the first.

I believe the best self care comes from ingredients that honor both your body and the earth they came from. Nothing unnecessary, nothing synthetic, just what actually belongs there. My customers tell me they can feel the difference, and that feeling is the whole reason I keep making this."

-Kate O'Malley, HoneDrop Founder

A Family Business

HoneyDrop isn't just one person. It's a family business in the truest sense, built with the people closest to me. Every part of this, from the way it looks to the way it feels, carries more than one passionate set of hands.

Rooted in Community

HoneyDrop is local forward. Getting to know our customers, participating in local events, and being a real presence in the Chicago Suburbs are at the center of what we do.

We believe deeply in the power of community. We envision an a world that moves toward something more connected, where you know the people behind what you buy and they know you too. That belief is part of a larger shift we want to be part of, a return to community oriented living, where relationships matter as much as the products themselves.

All our products are made in Wheaton, IL.

Giving Back to What Gives Us So Much

Loving the earth isn't just an ingredient philosophy for us, it's something we act on. HoneyDrop is a proud member of United Plant Savers, an organization dedicated to protecting native medicinal plants and the wild spaces they grow in.

We also tend four pollinator gardens on our property, with more on the way!
