Manuka honey isn’t just a sweet treat from nature. It’s a powerful skincare ingredient used for centuries in traditional remedies. With antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and deeply hydrating properties, Manuka honey goes beyond surface care. It works with your skin from the outside in, nourishing, healing, and protecting it.

Let’s take a closer look at how Raw Manuka Honey UMF 10+ MGO 263 can revolutionise your natural skincare routine.

What is Raw Manuka Honey UMF 10+ MGO 263?

To appreciate the power of Manuka honey for your skin, it’s essential to understand what UMF and MGO mean.

• UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is a grading system that measures the unique signature compounds in Manuka honey. A UMF rating of 10+ indicates strong antibacterial activity.
  
• MGO (Methylglyoxal) is the key compound responsible for Manuka honey’s antibacterial power. A rating of MGO 263 means you’re getting therapeutic-quality honey.
  

Together, these ratings assure you that the honey you’re using is genuine, potent, and certified. It’s perfect for natural skincare applications.
