Honey has been used since ancient times to treat multiple conditions. It wasn't until the late 19th century that researchers discovered that honey has natural antibacterial qualities.
Honey protects against damage caused by bacteria. Some honey also stimulates production of special cells that can repair tissue damaged by infection. In addition, honey has an anti-inflammatory action that can quickly reduce pain and inflammation once it is applied.

Vitamin E - Tocopheryl Acetate
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects body tissue from damage caused by unstable substances called free radicals. Free radicals can harm cells, tissues, and organs. They are believed to play a role in certain conditions associated with aging.
Because of its ability to quench free radicals the term “protector” has been used to describe the actions of vitamin E. Studies have shown that vitamin E reduces UV-induced erythema, edema, sunburn cell formation, and lipid peroxidation.
Clinical improvement in the visible signs of skin aging has been documented with significant decrease in skin wrinkling. This may be also due to the excellent moisturizing effect of vitamin E.
While tocopherol is the primary active form of vitamin E, it's esters such as vitamin E acetate and sorbate have also been shown to be very active. Esters, however, need first to be converted into the more active form in the skin. It has been reported that vitamin E in combination with vitamin A produces increased storage of vitamin A when applied topically. This sparing action is another valuable benefit of vitamin E. These data validates the popularity of vitamin E as antioxidant, moisturizing and rejuvenating ingredient.
Copper Tripeptide 1 (GHK-Cu)
GHK-Cu, Copper Peptide, is a naturally occurring human tri-peptide. In plasma, the level of GHK-Cu is about 200 ng/ml at age 20. By the age of 60, the level drops to 80 ng/ml. Scientific studies conducted in different research laboratories around the world have established that human tri-peptide GHK-Cu possesses a plethora of biological actions including activation of wound healing, attraction of immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulation of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts and promotion of blood vessels growth.
Recent studies indicate its important role in stem cell biology and anti-tumor defense. Since GHK-Cu plays an important role in skin biology, it is widely used in cosmetics as a reparative and anti-aging ingredient. The levels of GHK decrease as you age.

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). AHAs are acids derived from foods, and, as it turns out a type of acid that's safe to apply to our skin.
AHAs applied topically and regularly to your skin help reduce the appearance of aging, and they can be an especially good remedy against fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of premature aging from sun damage
AHAs applied topically improve skin's texture through exfoliation -- AHAs encourage the skin to slough off its old, dead skin cells revealing the glow of healthy skin cells hidden underneath. They help reduce the appearance of acne scars, age-related spots and pigmentation. They also help firm up sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen growth in the deeper layers of your skin
Jajoba, Macadamia, and Sweet Almond Oil - these oils are carefully selected and blended to provide critical support and nourishment to the skin, while supporting the skin to produce its own level of moisturizing from within. The wrong selection of oils can inhibit the skin from producing its own sebum, and also be a source of oxidation.
Vitamin E - Widely heralded as a key nutrient for the skin. We select only the purist form.
Sourced from New Zealand, we select only the highest therapeutic grade of Manuka honey with a Active Factor of 30+, where skincare companies traditionally use only 10+.
Hydrogen peroxide is a component of honey. It gives most honey its antibiotic quality, but some types of honey, including manuka honey, also have other components with antibacterial qualities.
The major antibacterial component in manuka honey is methylglyoxal (MG). MG is a compound found in most types of honey, but usually only in small quantities. In manuka honey, MG comes from the conversion of another compound - dihydroxyacetone - that is found in high concentration in the nectar of manuka flowers.
MG gives manuka honey its antibacterial power. The higher the concentration of MG, the stronger the antibacterial effect.
Jarrah honey is produced by bees from the nectar collected from the jarrah flowers , and is a truly special honey. Jarrah is considered one of the worlds premier “healing honeys, as it has extraordinary natural anti-microbial and anti-fungal activity, high fructose (and low glucose) levels, high anti-oxidant content, plus other beneficial vitamins, minerals and natural chemicals.t
Jarrah Honey
This anti microbial activity is measured by the term Total Activity (TA) and depending on the purity Jarrah honey can have a TA of more than 38+ which is remarkably high. It is no surprise then that active Jarrah is used to treat wounds, burns and skin infections.
