Flowerdale Valley Skincare Guide: Which Products Should You Choose?

Flowerdale Valley is an Australian skincare brand making small-batch skincare in country Victoria. Best known for its original Bee Balm, the range now includes beeswax balms, cleansing balms, hyaluronic acid serums, moisturisers, face oils and lip balms.

With several products performing similar roles but using quite different formulations, choosing between them isn't always obvious.

This guide explains the differences between the Flowerdale Valley products available from Petits Trésors and how they can fit together in a skincare routine.

Which Flowerdale Valley Bee Balm Should I Choose?

Flowerdale Valley makes several beeswax and honey balms. The main difference is in their accompanying oils, botanical ingredients and essential oils.

Flowerdale Valley Bee Balm

Best starting point: The original Flowerdale Valley balm.

Bee Balm combines beeswax and raw honey with sweet almond, jojoba and avocado oils plus Australian lavender essential oil.

It can be used on the face, neck, hands and body.

Choose original Bee Balm if you want Flowerdale Valley's signature beeswax and honey formulation and enjoy lavender in your skincare.

Petits Trésors stocks Bee Balm in 90g and larger 200g sizes.

Flowerdale Valley Honey Bee Balm

Choose this if: You want Bee Balm without lavender.

Honey Bee Balm uses the same core beeswax, raw honey, sweet almond, jojoba and avocado oil formulation without lavender essential oil.

There is no added fragrance or essential oil, although the beeswax and honey give the balm its own natural aroma.

Flowerdale Valley Calendula & Honey Ointment

Choose this if: You want calendula and shea butter in a rich beeswax balm.

Calendula & Honey Ointment combines organic jojoba oil, fair trade shea butter, beeswax, honey and calendula extract.

This makes it distinctly different from both original Bee Balm and Honey Bee Balm.

Flowerdale Valley Meditation Balm

Choose this if: You prefer an aromatic body balm.

Meditation Balm combines sweet almond oil, beeswax and honey with Flowerdale Valley's Meditation Blend of rose, patchouli, lavender, orange and clary sage essential oils.

Flowerdale Valley particularly recommends it for the neck and décolletage and it can also be used on the body.

Which Flowerdale Valley Hyaluronic Acid Serum Should I Choose?

Flowerdale Valley makes several hyaluronic acid serums. You don't need every one simply to use hyaluronic acid. The easiest way to choose is to look at the additional ingredients in each formulation.

Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin B5

Choose this if: You want the simplest starting point.

Flowerdale Valley's original Hyaluronic B5 combines sodium hyaluronate with panthenol (Vitamin B5) in a lightweight serum.

This is the straightforward choice if your priority is adding a simple hyaluronic hydration step to your routine.

Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide B3

Choose this if: You specifically want niacinamide.

This serum combines hyaluronic acid with niacinamide (Vitamin B3), allowing you to include both ingredients in one skincare step.

Hyaluronic Acid + Kakadu Plum

Choose this if: You want hyaluronic acid combined with an Australian botanical ingredient.

This formulation combines hyaluronic acid with Kakadu plum extract.

Hya Marine Glow

Choose this if: You want sea moss alongside hyaluronic acid and B5.

Hya Marine Glow combines hyaluronic acid with Irish sea moss extract and panthenol (Vitamin B5).

Which Flowerdale Valley Face Oil Should I Choose?

The Flowerdale Valley face oils are substantially different from one another.

Precious Face Oil

Choose this if: You want a complex botanical oil blend.

Precious Face Oil combines sweet almond, cherry kernel, marula, rosehip and pomegranate oils with essential oils including myrrh, rose, lavender and frankincense.

It is the multi-oil option within the Flowerdale Valley range.

Australian High C Face Oil

Choose this if: You prefer Australian jojoba and native botanicals.

Australian High C uses Australian jojoba oil infused with Kakadu plum, quandong and calendula.

Despite the name, it is better understood as a botanical face oil rather than a conventional water-based Vitamin C serum.

Cold Pressed Marula Face Oil

Choose this if: You want a simpler single-oil approach.

Flowerdale Valley Cold Pressed Marula Face Oil provides the most straightforward option of the three for customers specifically looking for marula facial oil.

Which Flowerdale Valley Moisturiser Should I Choose?

An important distinction is that not every Flowerdale Valley moisturiser is designed for the same part of the body.

Calendula, Chamomile & Shea Face Moisturiser

This is a dedicated face and neck moisturiser combining shea butter, calendula, chamomile and sweet almond oil.

Choose it when you want a rich Flowerdale Valley facial moisturiser rather than a body cream.

Shea Butter, Lavender & Orange Moisturiser

This is a hand and body moisturiser rather than one of Flowerdale Valley's dedicated facial moisturisers.

It combines shea butter, aloe vera and sweet almond oil with lavender and orange essential oils.

Choose it for hands and body, particularly if you enjoy aromatic body products.

Where Does Take It All Off Cleansing Balm Fit?

Take It All Off is Flowerdale Valley's balm cleanser and makeup remover.

Massage it over the skin then remove it with the supplied wet cloth.

Petits Trésors stocks both the regular 90g and larger 200g sizes.

It is the first step if you want to build a broader Flowerdale Valley skincare routine rather than use individual products in isolation.

What Order Should I Use Flowerdale Valley Skincare?

A simple routine is:

1. Cleanse
Start with Take It All Off Cleansing Balm.

2. Serum
Choose one Flowerdale Valley hyaluronic acid serum according to the formulation you prefer.

3. Moisturise
Apply your chosen facial moisturiser.

4. Face oil or Bee Balm
Add a face oil or Bee Balm afterwards if you want a richer final skincare layer.

5. Sunscreen
Finish your morning skincare routine with sunscreen.

You don't need every step or every Flowerdale Valley product. Choose according to your skin, preferred formulation and how simple or extensive you want your routine to be.

Where Is Flowerdale Valley Skincare Made?

Flowerdale Valley is Australian owned and its skincare is handmade in small batches in country Victoria.

The brand began with founder Mel Young's interest in beeswax and skincare while living on an old beekeeper's farm. Bee Balm became Flowerdale Valley's original skincare product and remains its bestseller.

The beeswax and honey used in Flowerdale Valley's Bee Balms come from its on-farm beehives.
