New Manuka Honey Products - Coming Soon

Skin care products manufacturer, Honeymark International, will be launching an expanded line of Manuka Honey products in the summer of 2008.nnAnti-Wrinkle SerumnManuka Honey is very good for the skin due to the presence of vitamins, antioxidants. Manuka Honey's ability to absorb and retain moisture make it an ideal natural ingredient as it helps keep skin hydrated and fresh. In fact, history shows that ancient beauties regularly applied a mixture of honey and milk to the face to keep their skin looking young, radiant and smooth. Honey's natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun's rays while supporting the skin's ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin. Exposure to the sun is the number one cause of wrinkles. Manuka Honey has a moisturizing and nourishing effect on the skin which helps elasticity and texture. There may be no better way to bring a smooth glow to your skin than by using Manuka Honey. nnAcne CreamnManuka Honey has the ability to absorb impurities from the pores in the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent. It's especially effective in fading red marks and killing bacteria. The cause of acne infection is a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. The pores or follicles in the skin become blocked, preventing the sebum from escaping to the surface and the acne bacteria infects the trapped sebum. This leads to an increase in white blood cells in the localized area of the follicle blockage resulting in inflammation, redness and pain. With regard to acne, Manuka Honey is effective in a number of ways. Manuka Honey penetrates the epidermis of the acne infection far better than synthetic medications. Once at the seat of the acne infection, it quickly controls the acne bacteria. The presence of Manuka Honey also helps to break up and release the blockage of individual follicles leading to the cause of acne. Manuka Honey's anti-inflammatory action helps to eliminate any pain present.nnAntiseptic SpraynWith the recent spread of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA, Honeymark offers a preventative measure to reduce the risk of Staph infections. This product contains Benzalkonium Chloride and Active Manuka Honey as antibacterial agents. It can be used to spray on cuts, scrapes and abrasions to heal and prevent infection for a much more convenient application than ointments and other disinfectants. Manuka Honey has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for them to survive. This osmotic effect makes active Manuka Honey one of the most effective antibacterial agents available. Manuka Honey is also antimicrobial which makes it effective in healing both bacterial and fungal infections.nnHand Sanitizing GelnA similar formulation of our Antiseptic Spray, this product can be used as a preventative measure by keeping hands free of germs as to avoid the spread of harmful bacteria. Manuka Honey is capable of destroying microorganisms such as E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Citrobacter freundii, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, H. Pylori and MRSA. This makes Honeymark's Hand Sanitizing Gel extremely effective as a disinfectant. Most hand gels contain alcohol to kill germs. Alcohol may kills germs but it also dries the skin out and cracks it, giving germs the opportunity to get inside where they can cause more harm than on the surface of the skin. Honeymark's Hand Sanitizing Gel does not contain alcohol.nnAntimicrobial Liquid Hand SoapnLike most hand gels, many antibacterial soaps contain alcohol as their means in which to kill germs. As stated above, alcohol is not a favorable ingredient to use on the skin. Honeymark's Liquid Hand Soap does not contain alcohol but rather active Manuka Honey as an antimicrobial agent. Most antibacterial soaps are also not capable of destroying fungi that may be present. Manuka Honey's antimicrobial properties ensure all unwanted microorganisms are destroyed, leaving your hands completely germ free.nn"Honeymark only uses medical grade active Manuka Honey in all products," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "There is enough Manuka Honey to be effective without being sticky. Honeymark will be releasing these new products in the Summer of 2008. Other Manuka Honey products will be released by the end of the year, such as a facial masks, antibacterial wipes, shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer, all of which will contain Manuka Honey."nnnn
