Honey, Honey: Shining the Spotlight on Gisou’s Hero Ingredient
If there’s one brand that’s made its way into our routines and secured a permanent space, it’s Gisou. Going TikTok stratospheric in an instant, they are far more than their shelfie-worthy packaging. Infused with the brand’s iconic Mirsalehi Bee Garden Honey and a host of other happy hair ingredients, every product aims to refresh our routines to leave us feeling our very best selves. And if we didn’t believe in the power of honey before, we definitely do now. Want to know why? Learn all about Gisou and their not-so-secret ingredient below - and all the products we never miss a chance to restock on.
Who is Gisou, and why is honey such a special ingredient?
Founded by Negin Mirsalehi, Gisou was born out of a passion for honey bees and haircare. And while we might have seen Honey knocking around in our beauty routines before, it’s not just any Honey Gisou use. Unlike the Honey we might get in the supermarket, the wellbeing of every Mirsalehi Honey Bee is put first, drawing on six generations of beekeeping. The result? Happy, healthy bees that create some of the most powerful Honey in the world.
So when Negin’s mother - hairdresser and beekeeper in training - discovered the moisturising and nourishing properties the family’s Honey had on hair, a secret formula was born. Going on to be used in their bestselling Honey Infused Hair Oil, to their Lip Oil, Hair Perfume and everything in between, we expect pure joy in every drop.
