Product Reviews: Natural Goodness You Can Feel
1. Honey and Propolis Shampoo
Price: ₱70 / ₱140
Description: Made from natural ingredients like honey (for conditioning and hair growth) and propolis (to treat dandruff, graying, and falling hair). Blended with palm kernel, coconut, and castor oils plus essential oils for scalp nourishment.
My Review: My first time using organic shampoo — no foam, a bit runny, but I love the mild, earthy scent. It feels great knowing it’s free from harsh chemicals.
2. Propolis and Cider Liniment
Price: ₱95
Description: A soothing blend designed to relieve muscle pain, boost circulation, and speed up tissue recovery using natural ingredients like menthol, camphor, honey cider, and propolis.
My Review: Not a fan of the strong smell, but it’s highly effective in easing muscle soreness.
3. Propolis Throat Spray
Price: ₱75
Description: Fights bacteria and viruses while soothing sore throats, freshening breath, and supporting gum health.
My Review: Tastes a bit like Bactidol. It’s handy and effective — a must-have during flu season.
4. Honey Beeswax and Propolis Lip Balm
Price: ₱65
My Review: I love this lip balm! It keeps my lips soft and protected — definitely a new favorite.
5. Ilog Maria Sting-Less Mosquito Repellent
Price: ₱70
Description: Citronella-based with plant and fruit oils, plus propolis for antibacterial and antifungal protection.
My Review: Smells pleasant and lasts a few hours. While not as long-lasting as Bgone, it’s a good natural alternative for short outdoor trips.
6. Healing Massage Oil
Price: ₱155
Description: A calming mix of essential oils, herbs, nut oils, honey, and propolis designed to soothe the body and mind.
My Review: Love the scent! Perfect for massage therapy, reflexology, or just a relaxing night in.
7. Spearmint and Oatmeal Soap
Price: ₱35 / ₱60
Description: Cooling and refreshing. Great for summer and suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
My Review: A minty, invigorating soap that helps with skin asthma — definitely a staple for the hot months.
8. Honey-Propolis Feminine Wash
Price: ₱45
Description: Combines the antibacterial power of propolis and the healing properties of honey in a gentle, pH-balanced feminine wash.
My Review: It has the same cooling effect as PH Care but with all-natural ingredients. Affordable and effective — I’ll be buying more!

Wow, affordable nga sis and you can't go wrong with anything made out of honey. Parang ang sarap mag benta nyan dito sa Manila heheh! pero serious ako. Pwede kaya?
WALA ba silang honeybee hehe nghahanap po kasi ako ng pure honey bee eh
meron sila honey kaso wala that time.
i would love to go there too someday. :)
I tried the Lip Balm before. It was so nice and let me say, "delicious". Funny cause I just love how it tastes and keep on wiping my lips with my tongue after putting some. hahaha.
haha! their lip balm is my favorite too.
just wondering, why are they closed on Mondays? hihi
anyway, i have tried their lip balm, a friend gave it to me a year ago, malapit na maubos so i need to visit their place to purchase it
joy - rest day daw nila mon. =)
really love honey and its nutritional value... lalo na ung pure... Yahweh bless.
My aunt is super addicted to Ilog Maria too. At home, we use their cider, honey, soaps, massage oils, and shampoo. The shampoo though is quite sticky. Hahaha Love their products too!
hmmmn bakit di ko napuntahan yan before, i am hearing a good reviews on their pruduct I want to try one also
Honey farm... I have not seen one. For Php1,000 you got a lot of natural products. They're all from Ilog Maria Honey Farm. The place really needs to be promoted. I want to visit that place If I have a chance.
I'm hearing lots of good reviews from different beauty bloggers about Ilog Maria products! :)
this is new to me, tagal ko na ring hindi nakakabisita sa silang. i miss it there, palaging malamig :)
the products are really affordable, i would like to try them too :)
I was only familiar with the Human Nature line. I'm glad to hear that more and more people are going for organic products. :)
These posts need more attention from the media :)
How I wish I can try this too! Great loot for less than 1k pesos for all of those. :D I'm into beauty products and specially if its this affordable!
I am so much afraid of bees, but I love honey! :D
My group was just there and we were really dismayed at how they displayed their products.....in direct sunlight and heat. What was more flabbergasting was the fact that their product literature specifically states for Storage : OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT and HEAT.
When we called the Shop girl's attention to the fact that their products were displayed in DIRECT SUNLIGHT and HEAT, she did not pay attention to our admonitions. Since our counsel was ignored, I decided to write my comments on Ilog Maria's site. However, the reply of Mr. Joel Magsaysay was "Product replacement and turn over is always done every half of the day." I think that that is most incongruous to their Storage Instructions.
Then today I used their massage oil. Oh my!!! The floral scent was just way too overpowering. I started sneezing and sniffling. I told my masseuse to stop using the Ilog Maria Massage Oil and we resorted to using the Spa's regular oil.
I bought a variety of products amounting to almost PhP3K. I haven't taken any product that needs to be taken orally because of fear that their products may have broken down and its efficacy may have been compromised because of being subjected to direct sunlight and heat.
I agree with you. Same thoughts and observations here.
