A Ritual of Silken Earth & Enzyme Glow

May Lindstrom’s The Honey Mud — A Skin Ceremony in Every Jar

In a time when skincare often leans clinical and hurried, May Lindstrom Skin brings us back to the roots of self-care: intention, sensuality, and devotion. Every product in her tightly curated line feels like a small ceremony, hand-blended in microbatches and housed in obsidian-hued glass. And among them, one stands apart for its cult-like following and unique sensory allure: The Honey Mud.

This product has become a quiet legend. A hybrid cleanser and mask, it marries the cleansing power of halloysite clay with the nourishing, probiotic-rich benefits of raw honey—resulting in a texture that is as decadent as it is therapeutic. It looks and feels like chocolate mousse or caramel cream—thick, glossy, and softly sticky—and yet it rinses clean, leaving the skin calm, plump, and lit from within.

The Ritual Begins with Scent
Before you even touch it, the ritual begins. The scent profile of The Honey Mud is unlike anything else: warm notes of sweet orange, raw cacao, frankincense, and myrrh weave together with a grounding base of vanilla and ylang ylang. It doesn’t smell “clean” in the sterile sense—it smells like earth after rain, like the air in a monastery kitchen, like something ancient and wise. It invites you to breathe deeply, to settle.

What’s Inside the Jar?
At its core is raw honey—not pasteurized or stripped, but alive with enzymes, natural sugars, and antibacterial compounds. It hydrates deeply while calming inflammation and feeding the skin’s microbiome. Wrapped around the honey is halloysite clay, a rare, superfine white clay known for its gentle detoxifying properties. This clay binds impurities, helps to clear congestion, and exfoliates without disrupting the skin’s protective barrier.

Other notable ingredients include:

• Macadamia nut oil – softening and nourishing for dry, irritated skin

• Witch hazel extract – refining and toning, but without the sting

• Colloidal silver – known for its antimicrobial and healing properties

• Essential oils of frankincense, myrrh, sweet orange, ylang ylang, and vanilla – calming, aromatherapeutic, and supportive for emotional well-being

It’s worth noting: The Honey Mud contains no fillers, no synthetics, no preservatives you can’t pronounce. Everything in it serves a purpose—either for the skin or the soul.

How to Use It – Dual Rituals
Use The Honey Mud in two ways:

1. As a daily cleanse: Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently, and rinse. It creates a soft, creamy emulsion that lifts dirt and oil without foam or friction.

2. As a weekly mask: On dry skin, apply a generous layer and leave it for 10–20 minutes. During this time, the honey infuses hydration while the clay gently purifies. The scent lingers like incense in the air, turning your bathroom into a place of stillness.

This isn’t a product you rush through—it’s one you feel. The texture, the scent, the warm rinse—it slows your pace and reconnects you to your own body. And it’s exactly that kind of mindfulness that May Lindstrom encourages with every jar she sends into the world.

Why It Matters
More than just a cleanser, The Honey Mud is a response to our over-processed, over-performed approach to beauty. It invites us to return to care as something sensual, nourishing, and soulful. It asks us to carve out time not just for results, but for reverence.

May herself speaks often of skincare as a personal, sacred ritual—one rooted in memory, emotion, and the alchemy between body and botanicals. The Honey Mud is her most iconic invitation into that space.

For Those Who...

• Feel overwhelmed by harsh routines or sterile beauty counters

• Want to fall in love with skincare again

• Have sensitive, dry, or reactive skin that needs a loving touch

• Seek beauty that aligns with ritual, sustainability, and emotion

Final Reflection
To use The Honey Mud is to honor your skin not as something to fix, but as something to cherish. It’s a product that nourishes deeply—but also reminds us to pause, to breathe, to touch our faces with reverence.
