Science & Benefits

Honey is a natural supersaturated sugar solution produced by bees. It is a high-tenacity humectant that creates an antimicrobial environment due to its low pH and high osmotic pressure. It is zero-comedogenic. While excellent for soothing 'angry' inflammatory acne, its performance depends on its purity. It provides a 'cushion' of moisture that calms redness and facilitates the healing of broken skin without the use of synthetic waxes.
