New Antimicrobial Liquid Hand Soap with Manuka Honey

A Manufacturer of skin care products has developed a liquid soap that is effective in destroying antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA.

Bacteria are unavoidable and, for the most part, usually benignly. The majority of the bacteria that can be found on our hands at any given time are usually acquired when we touch different surfaces. Even though bacteria are a part of our world, no one wants to go out of their way to come in contact with them or have them remain on our skin. With the recent outbreak of drug-resistant forms of infectious bacteria, consumers are growing more concerned about protecting themselves from these resilient microscopic super-bugs.

In the 1990's, we began to see a surge of antibacterial soaps flooding the market. These soaps claim to be antibacterial because they contain either alcohol or a chemical called triclosan. There are several problems with these types of antibacterial soaps. For example, even though a soap claims to be antibacterial, it doesn't mean it's capable of killing other types of germs like a virus or fungus. In addition, overuse of chemicals like triclosan can cause bacteria to develop a resistance to its antibacterial action, basically rendering it useless.

The utilization of alcohol in antibacterial soap presents somewhat of a different dilemma. It is true that alcohol can kill germs on the surface of the skin. However, it also dries the skin which creates microscopic cracks that can give germs an opportunity to get below the surface where they can cause a lot more harm.

Honeymark has developed a Liquid Hand Soap that uses different ingredients to keep hands germ-free, without the use of alcohol or triclosan. Manuka Honey, which is a special type of honey only found in the New Zealand region, has extremely powerful antibacterial properties not found in other types of honey. Unlike alcohol and other synthetic ingredients, Manuka Honey has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for them to survive.

Even though Manuka Honey dehydrates bacteria, it has a very moisturizing effect on the skin. Manuka Honey has the ability to nourish, soothe and heal sensitive skin, as well as repair damaged skin and regenerate new skin growth. It is also an active antioxidant and is able to absorb free radicals which cause skin damage.

Manuka Honey's antibacterial properties are second to none. Scientific studies indicate that there are no types of bacteria that have been able to develop a resistance to it. Even antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE are no match for this premium New Zealand honey.

Manuka Honey is also considered to be antimicrobial, which means that in addition to its ability to destroy infectious bacteria, it can also eradicate other types of harmful microorganisms whether they be viral or fungal. Honeymark's Liquid Hand Soap also contains Benzalkonium Chloride, which is an FDA approved antiseptic that acts as an extremely powerful antimicrobial agent.

What does all of this mean? It means that there is a liquid soap available that is capable of destroying germs such as E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, VRE, MRSA and others. The key to protecting yourself and the people around you from being infected by harmful germs like these is to wash your hands regularly with Honeymark's Liquid Hand Soap for 20 to 30 seconds, lather well with a generous amount of soap, use a lot of friction which gets rid of the dead skin and dirt that harbors germs, rinse thoroughly and dry your hands well.

Despite what you might think, this product is not sticky. Manuka Honey has long been known for its nourishing effect on the skin. Unlike other antimicrobial ingredients, Manuka Honey is a safe, all-natural substance that has been found to have no known side effects. Combined with other valuable ingredients, this product leaves your hands feeling soft, smooth, clean and completely germ free.

Antiseptic Guaranteed to Heal MRSA Staph Infections

Honeymark International has developed a First Aid Antiseptic Lotion containing Active Manuka Honey that is so effective against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections that the manufacturer has issued a money-back guarantee.

No one is impervious to the resilient super-bug associated with deadly Staph infections. This infection can be acquired at schools, locker rooms, hospitals or basically anywhere within the community and can be fatal if entered into the bloodstream. In the past, doctors were able to treat most serious infections with the use of antibiotics. However, over the past 30 years of antibiotic use (or overuse), some strains of bacteria have mutated and developed a resistance to antibiotics. This has left the medical industry without a solution...until now.

There is a special type of honey that only comes from the New Zealand region that has been found to have extraordinary antibacterial properties not found in other types of honey. Manuka Honey has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for them to survive. Manuka Honey has also been observed interfering with the bacterial cell division cycle, preventing the infection from spreading and basically stopping it dead in its tracks.

Honeymark International, a New York-based manufacturer of advanced skin care products has developed a line of products containing bio-active Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent. "There is no substance on the face of the planet that is more capable of destroying MRSA and healing Staph infections the way Manuka Honey can," says Frank Buonanotte, Honeymark's CEO. "Unlike antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, Manuka Honey is a natural ingredient that has been found to have no negative side effects."

Manuka Honey's ability to eradicate MRSA is now being considered a major breakthrough within the medical industry and has gained worldwide recognition. Even doctors who are trained to believe in pharmaceuticals and usually frown upon natural alternatives are beginning to gain faith in the healing powers of Manuka Honey. "It just simply works," says Dr. Kenneth Johnson, a private practitioner on Long Island. "I've seen it with my own eyes. My patients go to the hospital for one thing and have come out with a Staph infection. After a short period of time, using a Manuka Honey-based dressing clears the infection very efficiently, where traditional forms of medicine had failed."

"Our First Aid Antiseptic Lotion is our best selling product, specifically because of its ability to heal MRSA Staph infections," says Buonanotte. "We have a money-back guarantee listed on our website that no one has accessed. It works every time."

Experts are now predicting that new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria will begin to emerge in the future. To date, there have been no reports of any bacteria being able to develop a resistance to Manuka Honey and it is expected that there never will be. Bacteria simply cannot survive in the healing environment created by Manuka Honey.

In addition to Honeymark's Manuka Honey-based Antiseptic Lotion, the company has announced that it will be releasing new products that can be used as a preventative measure. Within the next few weeks, Honeymark will be introducing a Hand Sanitizing Gel, Antiseptic Spray and a Liquid Hand Soap, all of which contain Manuka Honey. These products can help to prevent individuals from becoming infected with MRSA.
