Alas!  I was able to go here!  After hearing so much about Ilog Maria and their products, I can’t wait to go there. 

The first thing you’d see would be the STORE.  It was not your usual fancy store that will attract people to come over.  It was a simply a store.  A store where you browse and see what they have to offer.  Straightforward selling, no saleslady to bug you to try this and that.  Buy what you need and be on your way to your next destination.  No fuss shopping.

Their products speak for itself.  It is just soo addicting to go here, I just got one bottle then another and another.  Their products are mostly below P100 apiece so you’d be very tempted to buy almost everything they have.  If you think about it, the prices are not cheap but it is the quality you’d be getting and rest assured that they are giving you the best. 

Did you know that they rarely give interviews?  They prefer to just devote their very limited time and resources to expand their operation to be able to continue to supply customers.  Their website has been designed to answer all pertinent questions about Ilog Maria Honeybee Farms.

Here’s what I bought:

• Virgin Honey, 500ml at P210 (good for digestion and boosts energy, take it with the cider vinegar, this is for HubbyBubbly)
• Honey Cider Vinegar, 500ml at P105
• Royal Jelly Face Oil at P110 (rejuvenator, I now use this at night as my moisturizer, like the smell)
• Honey Face Scrub at P125 (Kills bacteria, exfoliant and softens your skin, still sealed)
• Propolis Gold, 30ml at P110 (antioxidant, strenghtens immune system, if this works well, will buy the bigger one, 320ml at P930)
• Honey Glycerin Face Soap at P80 (love, love, love it! I just wish they tone down the fragrance or they’ll have unscented ones.)
• Sting-less Citronella Mosquito Repellant at P65 (I can’t have enough of this natural insect repellant.  I now have 3 different kinds)

  On my next visit, I’ll buy the Propolis feminine wash soap, frozen RJ, RJ hair oil, beeswax lip balm and supply of sting-less mosquito repellant.

If only, they’re within Metro Manila!  I’m sure I’ll passby often together with lotsa lotsa people who patronize and swear by their products.  So far, they are not looking into expanding their business because having an outlet will only increase the cost of our products many times over. They have to consider the rent, salaries, utilities, delivery costs. These costs will have to be absorbed by our customers.

But did you know that you can order online?  Oh yes,  you can!  However, you’ll notice that prices are higher when ordering online.  This is due to the added costs of website development and maintenance, plus the added costs of maintaining a shipping operation which can assemble, pack, ship, track and account for your order.

TiP:  Browse thru Ilog Maria before going to Ilog Maria.  Choose and decide what you want to buy so when you go there, you’ll just get your to-buy list and go.  Simpler and faster.
