Care products made with manuka honey
Manuka honey, which originates from New Zealand, is called the king of honeys thanks to its antibacterial effects and other health benefits. Some say that it is four times as effective as any other honey, and this claim is founded on scientific findings.
What’s the story of manuka honey?
Some view manuka honey as a sort of superfood with clear cosmetic effects. A study by the University of Sydney assessed the benefits of manuka honey, which turn out to be primarily associated with its extra-high concentration of active ingredients. That is, the more pure the ingredients responsible for its benefits, the more the honey is considered potent in terms of nourishing the skin, retaining moisture, and calming the skin.
Is there a point to using care products made with manuka honey?
These advantages are reflected in cosmetics that contain manuka honey. In fact, Bmanuka allows our clients to order all our cosmetics products – containing manuka honey – via our site. A study initiated by the New Zealand National Manuka Association showed that the manuka honey in the test contained over 2,000 natural ingredients. Other studies indicated the possibility that manuka honey contains natural components with amino acids, Vitamins B and C, and antioxidants, as well as proteins and minerals with beneficial effects on skin. All of manuka honey’s benefits and anti-inflammatory activity are included in Bmanuka’s cosmetics.
Accordingly, Bmanuka’s care products are presented with the nutritional values and active ingredients in manuka honey, and also draw on its ability to nourish the skin, promote flexibility, and help renew its appearance, as well as create a smooth, healthy, and radiant look. In fact, some say that the concentration of antioxidants and the antibacterial activity of manuka honey can even contribute to a stretching effect and to blurring skin wrinkles.
Findings related to the use of care products made with manuka honey
In a study performed by researchers from the Department of Agricultural Biology, in collaboration with a pharmaceutical firm, as well as other universities, facial serum with bee venom was tested for clinical potential as a cosmetic. Manuka honey does contain bee venom, which is why the study in question is relevant to this article. In the study, images were analyzed using technological techniques designed to identify changes in skin apperance.
Therefore, a photo analysis was performed, and major changes were seen in the overall area of wrinkles, the number, and even average depth. The study showed that the bee venom serum had a rapid effect on all issues related to improving wrinkles, as shown above. Thus the assumption is that bee venom can have a role to play in changing the appearance of facial wrinkles. It’s therefore possible to assume that the cosmetics industry cut use of bee venom and chose to include it in various preparations. That is based on the asssumption that it acts on the overall area, number, and depth of wrinkles.
Why are care products made with manuka honey considered more expensive?
Generally, manuka honey products are considered to be relatively expensive in comparison to other cosmetics, even those that contain honey. That’s because the ingredients are considered more expensive – particularly bee venom. All products on the site contain this ingredient. So there’s a reason underlying the relatively high cost of the cosmetics sold by Bmanuka. Nonetheless, the cost per item can be reduced substantially by ordering several bottles in a single order or more.
