At Doliderm, we have chosen to integrate this precious ingredient into our flagship Rituel de Miel range, in order to offer you skincare products of unmatched quality. Let's discover together what makes manuka honey so special and how it can transform your beauty routine.
What is Manuka Honey?
Native to New Zealand, manuka honey is produced by bees that pollinate the flowers of the manuka tree, an endemic shrub. This honey is distinguished from other varieties by its high concentration of bioactive compounds, including methylglyoxal (MGO), which gives it unique antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
The Benefits of Manuka Honey for Skin
• Intense Hydration: Manuka honey is an excellent humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture in the skin. It is ideal for dry and dehydrated skin.
• Antibacterial Properties: Thanks to its MGO content, manuka honey helps fight bacteria responsible for skin blemishes, promoting clearer and healthier skin.
• Repairing and Soothing: It has healing properties that accelerate the repair of skin tissues, reduce redness and soothe irritation, making it a valuable ally for sensitive or damaged skin.
• Powerful Antioxidant: The antioxidants present in manuka honey protect the skin from free radicals, thus delaying the signs of aging and preserving the skin's natural radiance.
