Sustainability at Hilltop

SUSTAINABILITY AT HILLTOP

As a business, we have a responsibility to safeguard the future for everyone, humans and bees. It’s important to us that we are a business for good not just for profit. Making life sweeter for everyone.

We are a B Corp certified business

Did you know we are a B Corp Certified and we're the FIRST Honey brand in the UK to do this?

In 2021 we joined over 5,000 businesses across the globe who are using their business as a force for good. After a few years in the making, we are so un-bee-lievably proud of this achievement. Every aspect of our business has been examined to ensure we meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

Here's Scott, our founder to tell you more...

Feedback

Very quick delivery and excellent 🍯

Tastes fantastic

Lovely honey. Had a little hiccup at the beginning which the guys were great about and sorted straight away. Many thanks

Useless

Buy yourself an actual lip balm. This is expensive compared to many other options you can buy in the shop, it's definitely a lot worse than the average chapstick or vaseline option, and it's using a lot of very non sustainable ways to make it LOOK sustainable. Absolutely do not buy and I wish I could get a refund for it just so I can say I didnt waste money on it.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that our Original Beeswax Lip Balm did not meet your expectations. We take sustainability seriously here at Hilltop and are continuously working towards improving our processes.

We understand that there are many lip balm options available in the market, but we believe in the quality and benefits of our natural ingredients in our lip balm. We appreciate your honest review and hope to have the opportunity to make it right for you in the future.

Loved the 800+

The taste was gorgeous and it did wonders for my sore gums. I was amazed at how it soothed and seemed to reduce my infection :-) So sad that you've sold out :-(

Hi Tracey!
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the taste of our Manuka HONEY MGO 800+ and that it helped with your sore gums. We apologise for being sold out, however please stay alert as we will be restocking soon - Thank you for your support!

Tasty

I have been having this on my breakfast cereal every day. It is absolutely delicious.
