Manuka Honey is nature's healer for sensitive, inflmamemd, or reactive skin. With its potent antibacterial properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and moisture balancing properties, this honey works on a cellular level to restore radiance, balance, and softness to even the most reactive complexions.

Why Manuka Honey?
MÄnuka Honey is the most unique and beneficial form of honey in the world. In 1981, researchers at the New Zealand University of Waikato discovered that MÄnuka Honey has a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey and identified its active agent, methylglyoxal (MGO)āthe concentration of which is widely measured in the industry to determine the potency of whatās in the jar. These enzymes create a natural hydrogen peroxide that works as an antibacterial. Manuka honey has a variety of health benefits both internally and externally. Internally, manuka honey aids with boosted immunity, supporting digestive health, and supporting a healthy oral system. Externally, Manuka honey is an antibacterial powerhouse, deeply hydrating, soothing for inflammation, and balancing the skins microbiome, by managing & balancing the healthy bacteria on the skin.Ā
Benefits of Manuka Honey:
1.) Soothes Inflammation & Redness: Manuka Honey contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce visible redness and inflammation. This property makes it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin and a balanced barrier.
2.) Balances the skin Microbiome: Manuka's antibacterial action directly targets harmful bacteria without disrupting healthy flora. A healthier barrier means clearer, calmer skin long term.
3.) Hydration: Manuka honey acts as a humectant, drawing in moisture while also being gentle enough and non-irritating, helping to repair and strengthen the skin barrier. It also aids to skin elasticity and smoothness over time.
4.) Rich in antioxidants: Manuka Honey protects skin from oxidative stress, pollution, and UV damage. This supports healthy aging and a brighter, more resilient complexion.
5.) Natural Antibacterical: Manuka honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound with potent antibactercial properties. It helps fight acne causing bacteria and reducing breakouts without drying or irritating the skin.
