Honey is a powerful skincare ingredient composed of elements from nature such as soil, sun, rain, flowers that produce pollen and nectar, and the bees that bring it all together. It contains a hefty amount of antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, making it a popular choice for use in natural remedies and skincare. We value honey’s anti-inflammatory, humectant, and antibacterial benefits in our formulations as well as being a skin bomb of antioxidants and enzymes.
Protect and Promote Healthy Skin with The Antioxidants, Enzymes, and Antibacterial Properties of Honey
Honey is rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids, polyphenols, and phenolic acids, which protect the skin from free radicals and oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants. It also contains enzymes like glucose oxidase and catalase that promote healthy skin by producing and breaking down hydrogen peroxide. Honey has natural antibacterial properties that help to kill harmful bacteria on the skin, making it an effective treatment for acne and other skin infections. As a humectant, honey attracts and retains moisture in the skin, keeping it hydrated and moisturized. Plus, honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce inflammation and redness in the skin, making it an effective treatment for conditions like eczema.
The Nourishing and Antimicrobial Benefits of Honey, a True Superfood
In addition to all of these benefits, honey also contains vitamins and minerals that nourish and protect the skin, making it a true skin superfood. It also has antimicrobial properties to prevent microbes and fungi from infiltrating the compromised barrier of wounded or inflamed skin, and as a gentle yet effective antibiotic that kills bacteria. We locally source raw, unprocessed honey because it contains more of the beneficial enzymes and nutrients.
