Click here for the full audio-visual experience!

This week, I spoke to Beatrice Dixon, CEO and Co-Founder of The Honey Pot Company, a plant-derived vaginal wellness line. Beatrice suffered from bacterial vaginosis for months until a visit from her grandmother in a dream led to the end of her struggles. In the dream, her grandmother gave her a list of ingredients that helped her develop the formula for a herb-powered vaginal wash. 

The mixture worked like magic, and Beatrice chose to share her discovery with the world with a goal to provide humans with vaginas healthy alternatives to traditional feminine care products. 

The Honey Pot Company was born and is the first complete feminine care system on the market catering to the needs of the vagina from birth to menopause. Its products are clinically and dermatologically tested, effective, and contain known and trusted ingredients. 

The line includes vaginal cleansers, organic menstrual tampons and pads, organic incontinence pads, mommy-to-be products, soothing vulva creams, and boric acid suppositories, refreshing panty sprays, and organic lubricants. 

Beatrice attributes her success to her diverse background and passion for wellness and herbal medicine. Her experiences in the retail, pharmaceutical, and natural food industries are an integral part of her business structure. Today, The Honey Pot Company’s products can be found online and in stores nationwide at Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Amazon, Bed Bath and Beyond, Wegmans, and other retailers.
