What makes manuka honey different?

Manuka honey is made by our buzzing little bee friends that pollinate the manuka tree, a tea tree shrub abundant with white and pink flowers making it pretty irresistible for our favourite flying bug. Its flowers are what give the honey a richer colour and earthier flavour compared to other honeys.

What are the skincare benefits of manuka honey?

We’re all aglow with manuka honey. We’ve even made it a key ingredient in our new range of skincare, as it can naturally help:

• Provide a boost of intense moisture
• Keep the skin looking soft and dewy
• Deliver a healthy-looking natural glow
• Protect the skin’s moisture barrier

Where is it sourced from?

We searched around the world for what we think is the best manuka honey source. X marks the spot in the dreamy remote forest areas of New Zealand.

More importantly, the bees and the manuka honey is free of pesticides or other chemical traces .
