INCI: Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka Honey) Mel

Function: Humectant

Hydration: Hydration, anti-microbial 

The Science: Manuka Honey is a highly effective natural humectant, thanks to its unique sugar composition, which draws moisture into the skin and helps retain it. Sourced from the nectar of the Manuka plant, a flowering bush native to New Zealand and Australia, this monofloral honey contains a rich blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a powerhouse for skin health.

Manuka Honey is known for its potent antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, helping to soothe minor skin irritations and promote a balanced complexion. It’s also rich in vitamin B3, potassium, zinc, and phenols and flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals caused by stress or sun exposure. This helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while keeping the skin soft, hydrated, and youthful.

With both humectant and emollient properties, Manuka Honey draws moisture from the air into the skin, boosting hydration and enhancing the skin’s natural barrier for a healthy, radiant glow.

The Story: Manuka Honey is especially effective for soothing dry, flaky, and irritated skin, helping to restore moisture and promote a calm, healthy complexion.
