Why Mānuka?

Mānuka Honey is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. In 1981, researchers at the New Zealand University of Waikato discovered that Mānuka Honey has a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey and identified its active agent, methylglyoxal (MGO)—the concentration of which is widely measured in the industry to determine the potency of what’s in the jar. These enzymes create a natural hydrogen peroxide that works as an antibacterial.

Mānuka Honey benefits are wide, including helping with digestive issues; low stomach acid; treating acne and eczema; combating Staph infections; treating burns, wounds and ulcers; preventing tooth decay and gingivitis; improving sore throats and immunity and helping with allergies.

Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Mānuka has extraordinary healing properties for skin conditions. It can reduce redness and heal congested or inflamed skin such as eczema or psoriasis. Additionally, Mānuka can be used for its anti-bacterial properties on the skin by oxygenating pores, which can draw out or reduce the amount of bacteria on blemishes. This can drastically improve acne-prone skin. You can use Activist Mānuka Honey as an everyday face wash, direct spot treatment on acne or make a face mask and leave on for a set amount of time.

WHAT IS MANUKA HONEY?

Mānuka honey is a type of honey that is made by bees that pollinate the Mānuka bush Native to New Zealand. This rare honey is produced for just a few weeks every year when the Mānuka is in flower, making it a limited resource. When bees pollinate from the Mānuka bush, they make honey that is mightier than ordinary honey bee honey due to the more elevated concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO) — which is a compound derived from the nectar of some plants and offers its antiviral and antibacterial properties. Mānuka has been seen to possess said properties in substantially high concentrations.
