Matakana Botanicals Great Barrier Island Bee Co. Skincare

Located just off the coast of Auckland, New Zealand, Great Barrier Island is home to one of the first and longest running commercial beekeeping farms in the country, established in 1839. Today, the island still produces the finest manuka honey which can be found in Matakana Botanicals Great Barrier Island Bee Co products. High in antibacterial methylglyoxal (MG), manuka honey is proven to not only heal the body internally, it also helps to keep skin clear, hydrated and youthful. 

Here are 3 reasons why you should be using natural, manuka honey based bath and body care:

Skin clearing – Manuka honey has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to soothe and heal inflamed skin. 

Anti-aging – MG has been shown to promote the structural growth of collagen. The amino acids found in manuka honey act as the building blocks of collagen, and together, they promote youthful looking skin.

Hydrating - A natural humectant, manuka honey draws moisture into the skin. Hydrated skin enhances the skin’s elasticity and  promotes cell regeneration.
