Science
High strength MGO mānuka honey promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation. Mānuka honey contains a chemical called methlyglyoxal (MGO) that inhabits the growth of microbes. Further, it exhibits non-peroxide activity. When glucose oxidase (an enzyme produced by bees) reacts with glucose and oxygen molecules (moisture in the skin) it produces hydrogen peroxide which reduces inflammation and makes your skin feel smooth and hydrated. The other chemical that mānuka honey possesses is Dihydroxyacetone which is omega 3 acid that is extremely nourishing to the skin. We also add 5% mānuka oil so that only is your mask deeply hydrating, it is also super cleansing.
