Business Spotlight: Tanja Lewit – Honey Buz

In a world where time weaves its wisdom, old world cures, crafted from the Earth’s own bounty, have endured the ages. Passed down through generations, these remedies were born from the deep understanding of nature’s healing touch—herbs, flowers, roots, oils and honey blended with reverence and care.

For Tanja Lewit, creator and founder of Honey Buz, this age-old knowledge of natural cures was more than a tradition her own family embraced—it was the foundation for a personal journey that would transform her life and also others.

However, it was a deeply personal experience that ultimately led to the creation of Honey Buz. “My close friend, Susan, who also shared my love of nature, was struggling with cancer,” Lewit says. “As she navigated the harsh realities of treatment, I witnessed the toll it took on her.”

The powerful effects of chemotherapy were visible not just in her friend’s body, but in the frustration of finding products that could provide relief without further harm. The search for gentle, chemical-free alternatives to soothe the skin and ease the discomfort of treatment became a turning point for Lewit.

Lewit’s connection with her friend deepened when she was later diagnosed with breast cancer herself. In the face of their shared struggle, the two women bonded over their experiences and their mutual desire to find solutions in the healing gifts of nature. This deep sharing planted the seed for Honey Buz, a company that would honor the healing power of nature and provide a gentle alternative to the harsh chemicals often found in conventional skincare and other products.

My vision for the company is rooted in the belief that true healing comes from the Earth’s gifts which offers a gentler path to wellness,” Lewit says.

A born entrepreneur with two other successful enterprises, she partnered with a natural formulator to develop Honey Buz’s product line five years ago. The inaugural launch included what are still bestsellers—hair shampoo and conditioner bars along with a canine shampoo. The products were so well received they earned an invitation by the Japanese government whose country in 2020 was in the midst of losing their young farmers to the tech industry.

I launched my first business, Panel Components & Systems, in 1989, where we manufactured meters to monitor electrical power output,” Lewit explains. “My second business developed smart sensor monitoring similar to a FitBit designed to track network and IT data centers for efficacy.”

She continues, “When I arrived in Japan with my new Honey Buz products, I saw a natural connection between agriculture, technology and health. All three of my businesses are centered around health—the health of power, the health of IT systems and the health of people.”

Protecting and caring for the Earth, which provides us with these beautiful, natural remedies, is essential,” says Lewit. “Because our products do not contain any harmful chemicals, any residue from them will not harm the environment.” Each product from Honey Buz embodies the magic of nature’s gifts—simple, pure and effective.
