Honeymark Now Distributed by Select Nutrition, Tree of Life and Palko

The importer of Manuka Honey and manufacturer of skin care products has recently announced that their products will now be distributed by Select Nutrition, Tree of Life and Palko.


Manuka Honey is no longer nature's best kept secret. Word of its healing properties have been spreading and its demand is growing rapidly. If you've never heard of Manuka Honey, you will soon. It's a special type of medical-grade honey indigenous to New Zealand that has been found to have amazing healing properties that often outperform traditional forms of medicine.

Honeymark is one of the largest importers of Manuka Honey in the U.S. and also manufacture skin care products that contain this unique type of honey. Consumers across the country have gone to their local health food stores, requesting Manuka Honey for conditions such as stomach ulcers, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, gastrointestinal complications and even cold and flu symptoms.

Up until now, Manuka Honey has been somewhat hard to come by. However, most health food stores throughout the U.S. order their inventory from at least one of the three distributors that Honeymark now supplies products to. This should make it significantly easier for consumers to obtain Manuka Honey and other Honeymark products.

"Our new distribution channels will put Honeymark products on the shelves of thousands of retail stores across the country," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "With this extensive retail presence, we will continue to expand our line of Manuka honey products over the next few years."

Review of Honeymark Products

The following is a comprehensive overview of the high-end skin care products manufactured by Honeymark, and the role that Manuka Honey plays as a natural healing ingredient.

If you have never heard of Manuka Honey, expect to be hearing about it in the future. It could very well be one of the most beneficial substances in the world to put on your skin. Studies have shown that Manuka Honey contains natural antimicrobial properties that eliminate infectious microorganisms, moisturize dry skin and reduce inflammation.

Despite all of its amazing healing properties, Manuka Honey is sometimes not used because its sticky consistency makes for an inconvenient skin care regimen. However, Boston-based manufacturer, Honeymark International, has developed a line of skin care products containing Manuka Honey that are a lot more user-friendly. Research shows that Manuka Honey can be diluted up to 100 times and still maintain its effectiveness. Therefore, blending it together with other natural ingredients does not diminish it's healing potency.

Acne Cream

There are several different types of acne. Blackheads are the result of oil and dead cells getting trapped in a pore where they block the duct and mix with bacteria. They then turn black when exposed to air. Red pimples develop when blackheads become inflamed and they spread when touched with dirty hands. When the pimple becomes infected, it develops a whitehead or pustule. These can break and cause scars.

Manuka Honey has been found to be effective in treating acne for several reasons. There is no better substance for eliminating bacteria on the surface of the skin than Manuka Honey. Its antibacterial properties are second to none. It also has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for the bacteria to survive. Therefore, Manuka Honey's antibacterial activity destroys the bacteria and its osmotic effect helps to draw the bacteria and other impurities out of the pores of the skin. It's anti-inflammatory effect reduces the inflammation associated with some forms of acne, which in turn eliminates the redness. Manuka Honey also stimulates the formation of certain proteins in the skin that can help to reduce scarring, repair damaged skin and regenerate new healthy skin growth.

Manuka Honey is also hygroscopic which means it draws moisture from the air and puts it into skin cells where it moisturizes. Unlike many acne products that have a tendency to dry the skin, Manuka honey has a moisturizing effect. You can use Manuka honey as a spot treatment by dabbing it on existing breakouts or you can use Honeymark's Acne Cream which contains Manuka Honey.

Anti-Wrinkle Serum

Wrinkles are a by-product of the aging process. With age, skin cells divide more slowly, and the inner layer, called the dermis, begins to thin. The network of elastin (the protein which causes skin to stretch) and collagen fibers (the major structural proteins in the skin), which support the outer layer, loosen and unravel, causing depressions on the surface. With aging, skin also loses its elasticity, is less able to retain moisture, oil-secreting glands are less efficient and the skin is slower to heal. All of these contribute to the development of wrinkles.

Manuka Honey is effective in reducing wrinkles and the appearance of aging because it has the ability to increase the production of elastin and collagen fibers. In addition to Manuka Honey, Honeymark's Anti-Wrinkle Serum also contains other natural ingredients that have a firming effect on the skin.

First Aid Antiseptic Lotion

Manuka Honey has an antibacterial activity that is impressing medical professionals around the world. By osmosis, it has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells. It also contains antibacterial compounds such as methylglyoxal and UMF. Manuka Honey also creates an acidic environment not conducive for the formation of bacteria. All of these factors make Manuka Honey ideal for healing infections. In fact, its antibacterial properties are so powerful, it is also used to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE.

Manuka Honey can be used effectively to treat wounds, burns, blisters and infections. Even hard to heal conditions such as skin ulcers, pressure sores, surgical and chronic wounds are no match for the incredible healing powers of Manuka Honey. Wound care products such as Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion and Antiseptic Spray are also a good option because they are not sticky.

Anti-Fungal Cream

In addition to its impressive antibacterial properties, Manuka Honey also contains strong anti-fungal properties. Fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock-itch, tinea and nail fungus can all be treated with Manuka Honey. However, its viscous consistency makes it impractical to use topically on some of these conditions. Honeymark's Anti-Fungal Cream is a more viable solution.

Anti-Itch Cream

Eczema is a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the outer layer of the skin (epidermis ). As discussed above, Manuka Honey's anti-inflammatory properties help to alleviate this inflammation, reverting skin back to its original form. Manuka Honey has the ability to both repair damaged skin and regenerate new skin growth. It's moisturizing ability also removes the dry patches associated with eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Try Honeymark's Anti-Itch Cream to take advantage of Manuka Honey's ability to treat this condition.

Manuka Honey and Natural Skin Care

Honey has long been used for its amazing health benefits, both as a dietary supplement and topically on the skin. However, there are many different kinds of honey, predicated on the floral nectar source used by the bees that produce it. Honeybees gather as much floral nectar as they can carry and take it back to their hives where they add enzymes to it to produce honey. Nectar from different flowers can produce variations in the honey, effecting its color, flavor and medicinal qualities. It has been discovered that honey produced from the nectar of the Manuka flower (indigenous to New Zealand) has far more healing properties than any other type of honey in the world.

Manuka Honey contains very powerful particular antibacterial properties and higher level of natural proteins, vitamins and minerals than any other type of honey. It also has the ability to nurture, calm and restore health to sensitive or damaged skin. There are antioxidants in Manuka Honey which neutralize free radicals that are the culprit for most skin cell damage. Manuka honey promotes the growth of new cells and tissue regeneration. It also defends the skin from further damages making it an excellent, natural ingredient in skin care products.

Manuka Honey’s ability to absorb and retain moisture also make it an ideal ingredient in skin care products as it helps to keep skin hydrated. In fact, history shows that ancient beauties such as Cleopatra 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 protect the skin from the damage of the sun’s rays while supporting the skin’s ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin. Honey is also effective in treating acne absorbing impurities from the pores of the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent.

The most important part of anti-aging skin care lies in the antioxidant protection that can be provided through natural ingredients. Manuka Honey has more antioxidants than any other honey, making it extremely valuable for skin care. It also helps the formation of stronger collagen, makes the skin firmer and assists in the cell renewal process, making the skin appear more youthful. It has the ability to penetrate deeply into the depth of skin tissue and helps to protect the skin against damage from free radicals. Manuka honey is also especially effective in healing infections, acne, psoriasis, ringworm, eczema, wounds and scars. Its healing properties nourish and moisturize the skin.

Most ordinary types of honey are processed and have lost their healing properties when pasteurized. It is beneficial to use natural skin care products that contain Manuka honey. This way you can use it regularly and avoid having sticky skin. For more information or to purchase Manuka Honey products, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com.

Honeymark Recognized as Cruelty-Free

Honeymark, a manufacturer of skin care products, is approved by Leaping Buddy, an internationally recognized cruelty-free coalition for developing products that are not tested on animals.

In the 1990s, consumers had become more conscious about purchasing products that are not tested on animals because of the discovery that some manufacturers participated in unethical practices while developing their products. Even though cruelty-free shopping has become popular, it can also be confusing, misleading and frustrating.

Some manufacturers had begun creating their own definition of cruelty-free practices or animal-friendly procedures without the participation of any animal protection groups. As a result, several animal protection groups joined together to form the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). The CCIC promotes a comprehensive standard and an internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Logo. This coalition is now working with manufacturers to help make shopping for animal-friendly products easier and more reliable.

Today, the Leaping Bunny Program administers a cruelty-free standard and the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Logo for companies producing cosmetic, personal care and household products. The Leaping Bunny Program provides the best assurance that no new animal testing is used in any phase of product development by the manufacturer, its laboratories or suppliers.

Honeymark International manufactures skin care products containing Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent. Manuka Honey is indigenous to New Zealand and is derived from the Manuka Tea Tree. It has been discovered that this unique type of mono-floral honey contains extraordinary healing properties not found in other types of honey and even some traditional forms of medicine. In fact, the use of Manuka Honey for therapeutic purposes has even been known to outperform antibiotics and other types of medication in most cases, particularly in the instance of antibiotic-resistant infections (such as MRSA and VRE).

Honeymark manufactures the following products:

• Acne Cream
  
• Anti-Fungal Solution
  
• Anti-Itch Cream
  
• Antiseptic Spray
  
• Anti-Wrinkle Serum
  
• First Aid Antiseptic Lotion
  
• Hand Sanitizing Gel
  
• Liquid Hand Soap
  
• Pain Relief Cream
  

In addition to the above listed skin care products, Honeymark also has their own brand of pure Manuka Honey for customers interested in taking advantage of the internal health benefits of Manuka Honey.

Using Manuka Honey as a Natural Healing Agent

Recent studies have uncovered the extraordinary healing powers of a special type of honey only found in the New Zealand region.

Scientists and chemists have combed the far reaches of the earth in search of natural ingredients that can be used for medicinal purposes. One of the more recent discoveries is that of a unique type of honey that is so effective in treating certain health conditions that it has even outperformed medicine in some cases. This medical-grade honey is known as bio-active Manuka Honey.

Manuka Honey is a premium mono-floral honey produced by bees that feed on the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka bush, which is indigenous to New Zealand. It has been discovered that honey made from this nectar contains certain plant-derived components that are very effective in treating a wide spectrum of health conditions.

When taken orally, Manuka Honey is effective in treating stomach aches, stomach ulcers, sore throats, acid reflux disease, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, cold and flu symptoms, etc. Manuka Honey can also be used topically on the skin to treat conditions such as acne, wounds, burns, wrinkles, eczema, ringworm and even MRSA Staph infections.

Some people are under the misconception that if they consume Manuka Honey by taking it orally, it can be effective in treating some of these topical conditions. Even though Manuka Honey has many health benefits when ingested, it has to be applied directly to the affected area to work. For example, to treat an infected wound, Manuka Honey has to come in direct contact with the bacteria that is causing the infection. Manuka Honey doesn't work the same way that antibiotics do, so for some uses, Manuka Honey needs to be applied to the skin.

If the idea of putting honey on your skin is not desirable, a Long Island-based manufacturer of skin care products called Honeymark imports Manuka Honey from New Zealand and blends it into their products for a much more user-friendly application. For example, Manuka Honey is effective in treating Athlete's Foot. However, smearing Manuka Honey all over your foot might be somewhat uncomfortable and impractical. Honeymark's Anti-Fungal Solution contains Manuka Honey but is a liquid-based product so that it can be easily applied to the skin, without the sticky mess.

"Using honey as a medicine is no longer considered a home remedy," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Even though honey has been used for medical purposes in many cultures for thousands of years, Manuka Honey from New Zealand has been found to have additional healing properties not found in other types of honey, making it a viable treatment alternative to expensive, and in some cases, ineffective medication."

Honeymark plans to increase its line of Manuka Honey skin care products in the first quarter of 2009. Such new products will include a Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash and Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion, all of which will contain Manuka Honey. Honeymark also plans on releasing their own brand of pure Manuka Honey for consumers interested in utilizing Manuka Honey for internal purposes.

Manuka Honey Products by Honeymark

A New York-based manufacturer of skin care products has developed a unique line of products containing Manuka Honey, which is a natural ingredient from New Zealand that has been found to have extraordinary healing properties.

Honey has long been considered a natural remedy when used topically on the skin. It has now been discovered that a particular type of honey produced by bees that use nectar from the Manuka bush (indigenous to New Zealand) has even more healing benefits than other types of honey. Manuka Honey is now being used to eliminate acne, wrinkles, eczema, muscle and joint pain, bacterial and fungal infections, etc.

Unlike many pharmaceuticals, Manuka Honey has been found to have no negative side effects when used for medicinal purposes. However, like all honey, Manuka Honey is sticky and can be somewhat unmanageable when applied to the skin. Honeymark has eliminated that inconvenience by blending this valuable ingredient into medicated creams and lotions for a much more desirable and user-friendly application.

Manuka Honey is successful in treating such a wide variety of skin conditions because it is antimicrobial, meaning that it can destroy infectious microorganisms including bacterial, viral and fungal microbes. Microscopic analysis has revealed that these infectious microorganisms cannot survive in the presence of Manuka Honey. Therefore, all skin conditions caused by them can be effectively treated by using Manuka Honey. Once the microbes are destroyed, the symptoms are alleviated.

Honeymark has developed products based upon years of research and anecdotal evidence of Manuka Honey being effective in treating certain conditions. In addition to active Manuka Honey, Honeymark products also contain other ingredients that are effective in treating the various conditions that each product is specially formulated for. Below is a list of Honeymark's Manuka Honey products:

• Acne Cream
  
• Anti-Fungal Solution
  
• Anti-Itch Cream
  
• Antiseptic Spray
  
• Anti-Wrinkle Serum
  
• First Aid Antiseptic Lotion
  
• Hand Sanitizing Gel
  
• Liquid Hand Soap
  
• Pain Relief Cream
  

Among Manuka Honey's many accolades is its ability to destroy the deadly MRSA bacterium and heal Staph infections. Manuka Honey has the ability to draw moisture out of MRSA bacterial cells, making it impossible for them to survive. MRSA has become impervious to antibiotics by clumping together and forming biofilms that act as a protective layer. However, Manuka Honey interferes with the bacterial cell division cycle that allows MRSA to multiply and form these biofilms, making it a viable treatment solution for MRSA Staph infections.

Manuka Honey's ability to eradicate MRSA is now being considered a major medical breakthrough. Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion is the product that is being used to effectively treat MRSA. Their Hand Sanitizing Gel, Antiseptic Spray and Liquid Hand Soap can be used as preventative measures by eliminating bacteria on the skin.

"Manuka Honey is nature's best kept secret," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Although, consumers are becoming more educated about different treatment options thanks to the Internet. Consumers are also feeling more comfortable with products that contain natural ingredients instead of the laundry list of side effects that come with the use of many pharmaceuticals."

Honeymark plans to unveil new Manuka Honey products in the future. In addition to its line of skin care products, Honeymark also sells Manuka Honey in a jar for individuals who want to take advantage of its healing benefits internally. When taken orally, Manuka Honey is effective in treating stomach ulcers, stomach aches, sore throats, cold and flu symptoms, gastritis, irritable bowl syndrome, acid reflux disease, etc.

Manuka Honey Available in the USA

This amazing natural resource from New Zealand has become increasingly more popular as of late. As a result, it is now being utilized as a main ingredient in skin care products manufactured in the U.S.

Manuka Honey's international notoriety stems from its ability to treat a wide spectrum of health conditions both internally and topically on the skin. When taken orally, Manuka Honey has been proven to be effective in treating conditions such as acid reflux disease, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, stomach ulcers, gum disease, etc. Manuka Honey has also been effective in treating a wide range of skin conditions such as eczema, acne, infected wounds, burns, ringworm, etc.

Manuka Honey is considered to be antimicrobial, which means it is effective in destroying microorganisms that are responsible for causing bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Since most health conditions are caused by these unwanted microbes, Manuka Honey's ability to destroy them has attracted the attention of doctors and other medical professionals around the world. Manuka Honey is even efficacious enough to eradicate MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Since antibiotics have proven to be relatively ineffective in treating Staph infections, the use of Manuka Honey is now being considered a viable treatment alternative. This is being recognized as a major breakthrough in the medical industry.

In addition to its medicinal qualities, Manuka Honey is also drawing attention to itself as a cosmetic ingredient. Manuka Honey has a hydrating and rejuvenating effect on the skin. It also has the ability to increases skin elasticity and collagen production. As a result, Manuka Honey has become recognized as an excellent anti-wrinkle solution. It has other impressive skin care applications in terms of a cleansing agent for clearing acne and other unsightly blemishes. Its antibacterial properties eliminate infections that cause red marks, boils and pimples.

It's not the bees in New Zealand that are so special, rather than the flowers where they collect the nectar to make the honey. The Manuka bush grows beautiful white and pink flowers that contain this unique nectar with unusually potent healing properties. Honeybees use this nectar to produce Manuka Honey. Bee farmers in New Zealand put their hives within close proximity to Manuka trees so that the bees only use its nectar to manufacture their honey.

Unfortunately, Manuka Honey is somewhat hard to come by. Shipping costs from New Zealand to the U.S. can be more than the honey itself. However, a New York-based company called Honeymark has developed a line of skin care products containing Manuka Honey as a main ingredient. Their creams and lotions also takes the sticky mess out of applying Manuka Honey directly to the skin.

"In many cases, active Manuka Honey has proven to be more effective than traditional forms of medicine," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "At a time when consumers are becoming more confident in the use of natural and cosmeceutical products, Manuka Honey offers the peace of mind of having no negative side effects. Even medical doctors who are usually more in favor of pharmaceuticals have become impress with the amazing healing benefits of Manuka Honey."

Skin Care and Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey has proven to be the most effective natural ingredient in skin care products for treating a wide range of conditions from infected wounds to acne.

Manuka Honey is a form of mono-floral honey which is produced by bees that feed on the flowers that grow on the Manuka plant (also known as the tea tree or Leptospermum Scoparium) which is indigenous to New Zealand. A similar honey is reported to be made by Australian bees which feed on the Jelly Bush (also known as Leptospermum Polygalifolium).

Manuka Honey has antibacterial and anti-fungal activities that are effective in treating a variety of different conditions such as infected wounds, acne, eczema, ringworm, etc. Manuka Honey is believed to magnify the properties of the tea tree by synergistically adding the naturally antibacterial properties inherent in honey.

According to a number of reported studies, many types of honey contain low levels of hydrogen peroxide, enough to provide an antimicrobial effect without causing tissue damage. However, the hydrogen peroxide present in standard honey is rapidly decomposed into water and oxygen upon contact with catalase, which is an enzyme that is present in blood and wound fluid. This rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide makes the antimicrobial activity of ordinary honey short-lived. Although, Manuka Honey has been found to show a stronger antimicrobial effect than other types of honey that is stable and maintains its healing properties even in the presence of catalase. Manuka Honey is also non-toxic to tissue, thereby giving it a distinct advantage over many other topical antiseptics.

There are a number of interesting theories as to the active components of Leptospermum Scoparium. It has been reported that Leptospermum Scoparium contains monoterpenes at low levels and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons at higher levesl including those possessing cubebene/copaene, elemene, gurjunene/aromadendrene, farnesene/caryophyllene, selinene, calamenene and cadinene skeletons. Also reported as being present in Leptospermum Scoparium have been oxygenated sesquiterpenes and triketones. The antimicrobial activity of the Leptospermum Scoparium is believed by some to arise from the triketone fractions.

Because of its impressive medicinal qualities, Manuka Honey is now being used as a main ingredient in skin care products. One U.S. manufacturer has been capitalizing on the healing benefits of Manuka Honey. Honeymark International is a New York-based skin care company that imports Manuka Honey from New Zealand and blends it into their products. Their proprietary formulations take the sticky mess out of applying honey directly to the skin. Honeymark products are effective in treating skin ulcers, MRSA/Staph infections, fungal infections, dermatitis, etc.

"Manuka Honey is a natural healer that has recently gained worldwide notoriety, particularly because of its ability to eradicate MRSA and heal Staph infections," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "No other skin care ingredient is as effective in healing bacterial and fungal infections."

Manuka Honey is an all-natural, organic ingredient that has been found to have no negative side effects. For more information or to purchase Manuka Honey skin care products, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com. Honeymark products are not tested on animals.

The Latest Discovery in Skin Care

A unique type of honey known as Manuka Honey is now being used as a natural healing ingredient in skin care products as an alternative to less desirable synthetic ingredients.

If you haven't heard of Manuka Honey until now, you will begin to hear more about it in the future. As reports of its effectiveness swarm the globe, manufacturers are jumping on the band wagon by utilizing this natural resource in their skin care products. Manuka Honey has proven to be extremely effective in treating skin conditions such as acne, burns, eczema, fungal infections, bacterial infections, etc. Manuka Honey hydrates the skin while dehydrating bacterial cells, efficiently healing infection. It also has an uncanny ability to heal damaged skin and regenerate new skin growth.

What is Manuka Honey? In the beautiful, pollution-free fields of New Zealand, the Manuka bush grows wild across the countryside. This indigenous bush spawns beautiful pink and white flowers that contain an extraordinary nectar used by honeybees to produce honey. The bees take this nectar back to their hives where they add enzymes to it and produce this special type of honey that has become quite a commodity as of late. Its not the bees that are so special, rather than the nectar from the Manuka bush that possess the notable healing properties.

Manuka Honey's biggest claim to fame is its ability to eradicate the MRSA bacterium that is responsible for causing life-threatening Staph infections. Researchers have reason to believe that Manuka Honey has up to 30 times more antibacterial activity than other types of honey. Manuka Honey's anti-inflammatory properties is useful for individuals who have sensitive skin. By osmosis, Manuka Honey draws impurities out of the pores of the skin as well as moisture from unwanted microorganisms, forcing them to shrivel up and die.

There is scientific evidence suggesting that Manuka Honey is effective in treating unsightly spots called Molluscum Contagiosum. Manuka Honey is also a hundred times more effective as an anti-inflammatory agent than hydrocortisone for the treatment of eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Recent studies have also shown that Manuka Honey is effective for the treatment of cold sores (herpes simplex) and can be applied to soothe sun burnt skin. The medicinal applications are endless when using Manuka Honey topically on the skin.

In addition to its medical use, it's also important to know that Manuka Honey contains a high content of antioxidants that rejuvenate, nourish and repair the skin for a younger, smoother look. It helps the skin in cellular renewal and in the growth of collagen and skin elasticity. When used on the skin, Manuka Honey has the ability to reduce sensitivity, inflammation and itching associated with some skin disorders.

"Unlike some synthetic ingredients, Manuka Honey is effective in treating certain skin conditions without the negative side effects," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a manufacturer of Manuka Honey skin care products. "Instead of harsh chemicals that have a tendency to dry the skin, Manuka Honey uses its natural antibacterial properties to kill unwanted bacteria and clear the skin of impurities."

To avoid the stickiness associated with applying honey directly to the skin, Honeymark has developed skin care products that contain Manuka Honey for a much more desirable and user-friendly application.

Manuka Honey Skin Care Products

A new approach in skin care is the utilization of a special type of honey that contains amazing healing properties and provides natural regeneration of skin tissue.

Honey has been used as a skin care agent for many years. Its antibacterial properties efficiently heal infected wounds and its antioxidant and nutrient-rich qualities have been used to nourish, rejuvenate, hydrate and repair the skin. Whether being used for medicinal or beauty purposes, honey has been regarded as a great natural resource.

Scientific studies have identified that one particular kind of honey seems to be more effective than the rest. Manuka Honey is derived from the nectar of a flower indigenous to New Zealand. Bees gather the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka bush and take it back to their hives where they produce this unique type of honey. Unlike standard honey, Manuka Honey's healing properties are stable and do not lose their effectiveness if exposed to certain conditions such as heat, light or fluid dilution. It also contains additional plant-derived components that give it more of an antibacterial action.

Companies that manufacture skin care products have begun to recognize the benefits of using Manuka Honey on the skin. Honeymark, a Long Island-based company, imports Manuka Honey from New Zealand and blends it into their products. Their unique line of Manuka Honey products is gaining rave reviews because of their outstanding effectiveness in treating certain conditions such as dermatitis, fungal infections, bacterial infections, etc. The company's CEO, Frank Buonanotte, believes that Manuka Honey will become the next big thing in skin care. "Since Manuka Honey is indigenous to New Zealand, word of its effectiveness initially penetrated Asian and European markets," says Buonanotte. "However, Manuka Honey works too well as a skin care ingredient for it to not gain its well-deserved notoriety in the U.S."

Over the past 6-8 months, there has been an increase in the level of awareness that Manuka Honey is truly a superior skin care product. Manuka Honey's ability to eradicate the MRSA bacterium and heal Staph infections is mainly responsible for its increase in popularity. At a time when pharmaceuticals and traditional forms of medicine are proving to be useless against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, Manuka Honey provides a viable solution to the MRSA epidemic. Even medical doctors who normally favor pharmaceuticals over natural alternatives are beginning to reconsider the value of using Manuka Honey dressings to treat infection and hard-to-heal wounds. With experts predicting that more drug-resistant bacteria will emerge in the future, Manuka Honey may become even more valued as a natural healing agent.

By osmosis, Manuka Honey draws moisture out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for them to survive. Since scientists have discovered that bacteria is the cause for many negative health conditions, Manuka Honey's antibacterial properties are being exploited. In addition, Manuka Honey is considered to be antimicrobial, making it capable of destroying other microorganisms such as fungi.

Thanks to the internet, consumers are educating themselves on what products work best and why. Consumers are also becoming more aware of which ingredients are more harmful than others. Since Manuka Honey is an all-natural ingredient that has been found to have no known side effects, its popularity is expected to rise even more in the future. "There is no natural substance on the face of the planet that is more effective in destroying unwanted microorganisms on the skin than Manuka Honey," says Buonanotte. "Its ability to eliminate impurities and promote healing in a natural and safe manner is second to none."

Since honey is sticky and not particularly user-friendly when applied to the skin, Honeymark's Manuka Honey creams and lotions provide for a much more desirable application. The company also plans on releasing other Manuka Honey products in the form of a gel, spray and soap later this year.

Honeymark Takes the Sticky Mess out of Manuka Honey

With scientific reports indicating that Manuka Honey is effective in treating MRSA and a variety of other health conditions, one manufacturer of skin care products delivers a more user-friendly application.

With all the various types of skin care products available on the market, Honeymark International of Long Island, NY has developed a niche by utilizing a special type of honey indigenous to New Zealand. Bio-active Manuka Honey has been proven to have extraordinary natural healing properties, capable of treating conditions such as infected wounds, dermatitis, acne, ringworm, etc. There are very compelling studies that have been recently conducted that show Manuka Honey's antibacterial properties are so powerful that even antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA have not been able to develop a resistance to it. This breaking news has drawn worldwide attention within the medical communities as medical professionals search for alternative solutions to treat Staph infections and other hard-to-heal wounds.

Even though Manuka Honey has been found to efficiently eradicate both bacterial and fungal infections, it's sticky texture has always made it less desirable to use topically on the skin. Like all types of honey, Manuka Honey is a moist, sugary substance that most people would never consider using on their skin. However, active Manuka Honey has healing properties not found in standard types of honey, making it much more suitable for medical use. Honeymark imports Manuka Honey from New Zealand and blends it into their skin care products, allowing for a much more desirable texture. In addition, Honeymark products also contain other ingredients that are effective in treating the various health conditions that each product is designed to be used for.

For example, Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion contains Benzalkonium Chloride which is and FDA approved disinfectant that is very effective in clearing infection. Their Anti-Itch Cream contains hydrocortisone which can be found in many eczema and psoriasis products. Tolnaftate is an ingredient in their Anti-Fungal Solution that kills fungus which combined with Manuka Honey's antimicrobial properties can eliminate conditions such as ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot and nail fungus. Honeymark's Pain Relief Cream contains ingredients such as Camphor, Menthol, Emu oil and almond oil that are used to provide relief to arthritis sufferers and individuals experiencing muscle and joint pain.

Manuka Honey could never be comfortably spread on the skin the way a cream or a lotion can. Especially in the U.S., where many people still regard honey as merely a food item and not for medical use, Honeymark has provided consumers with a convenient way to utilize this amazing natural resource. Honeymark is also in the process of releasing an Antiseptic Spray as well as a Hand Sanitizing Gel, both containing active Manuka Honey. These products will help in preventing the spread of MRSA without relying on alcohol as the only means of killing germs.

"We have seen a significant increase in the publics awareness of Manuka Honey over the past 6-8 months," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Mostly because consumers now have the ability to educate themselves on their own health concerns thanks to the Internet. Manuka Honey is being regularly used in the Asian and European markets. It works too well not to penetrate the U.S. market as a viable treatment option to antibiotics and more traditional forms of medicine."

Manuka Honey as a First Line of Defense Against Infection

Recent studies have shed some light on the unusual antibacterial activity of a certain type of honey, leading to a greater understanding of its ability to kill pathogenic bacteria and promote healing in wounds and other skin conditions.

Manuka Honey, found in New Zealand and certain parts of Australia, is made from a plant known as Leptospermum scoparium or more commonly known as the Manuka tree. Honeybees use the nectar that is produced from the flowers of the Manuka tea tree to make this special type of honey that has been found to have extraordinary healing properties. Studies show that this Manuka Honey is effective against many different drug-resistant clinical isolates, including the notorious Golden Staph/MRSA bacterium.

There has been evidence for the medical use of honey throughout history. Almost every culture that had access to honey has utilized it as a therapeutic agent, with its use as a wound dressing being particularly common across many different cultures. The use of honey as a wound dressing stems from its antibacterial activity, usually due to the production of hydrogen peroxide. However, Manuka Honey has additional antibacterial activity due to plant-derived components such as UMF and Methylglyoxal. These additional antibacterial and antimicrobial components make Manuka Honey ideal as a topical solution for the treatment of bacterial infections, fungal infections, dermatitis and other skin conditions.

In addition to possing significant antimicrobial properties, Manuka Honey has also been shown to actively promote healing. Researchers have discovered that Manuka Honey directly stimulates human cells that are important in the immune response and in wound healing. When used topically on the skin, Manuka Honey repairs damaged skin and regenerates new tissue. It also has the ability to diffuse into the depth of skin tissue where its anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce pain.

Because Manuka Honey is indigenous to New Zealand, reports of its ability to heal have penetrated the Asian and European markets and is being regularly used in hospitals and by consumers. Recently, the word has been spreading into the U.S., predominately because of its ability to completely wipe out the MRSA bacterium and efficiently heal Staph infections where antibiotics have completely failed. Even doctors who historically prefer the use of pharmaceuticals are beginning to warm up to the idea of using this natural substance for therapeutic use.

"Despite the ancient and modern evidence suggesting an enormous potential for honey as a wound dressing, it is largely underutilized in the U.S.," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International, a manufacturer of skin care products containing active Manuka Honey as a healing agent. "With antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria emerging, Manuka Honey may become the only viable treatment solution for severe infections."

Manuka Honey and Wound Care

Many reports indicate that Manuka Honey is an extremely effective first aid resource for cuts, grazes, gashes, burns and other wounds.

Derived from the nectar of the flowers that grow on the Manuka tree, native to New Zealand, Manuka Honey is gaining ever increasing worldwide recognition for its healing properties. There are many ways in which Manuka Honey can be used, particularly for topical use on the skin. There is growing anecdotal evidence that Manuka Honey is effective for therapeutic use, even against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA. Manuka Honey has shown great promise in the treatment of wounds, leg ulcers and burns.

The use of Manuka Honey for wound care is the area receiving the most attention from researchers. It is important to know that all honey has some antibacterial activity that is effective in the treatment of wounds, primarily due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The additional healing properties found in bio-active Manuka Honey (such as UMF and methylglyoxal) make it even more suitable for medical use. Not only can Manuka Honey destroy existing bacteria in an infected wound, but it also creates a protective barrier over the wound area, preventing more bacteria from entering.

With the range of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and sugar, Manuka Honey has a positive nutrient effect on newly regenerating tissue in a healing wound. Equally important in regard to new tissue growth in wounds, is the process of changing dressings. Wound dressings containing Manuka Honey create a moist healing environment that prevents direct contact between the dressing and newly formed tissue so that damage or disturbance to it is reduced from the changing of dressings.

More serious wounds such as Leg ulcers are a frustrating occurrence that can detrimentally affect mobility if worsened. The same healing properties that make Manuka Honey effective for the treatment of wounds also apply to leg ulcers. There are many anecdotal reports indicating that active Manuka Honey is effective in treating leg ulcers that were not responding to conventional treatments. It has also been noted that Manuka Honey is successful at reducing the malodor associated with leg ulcers and chronic wounds.

Manuka Honey’s effectiveness in healing and preventing infection is also helpful for the treatment of burns. A reduction of pain associated with burns has also been reported, due to the anti-inflammatory properties present in Manuka Honey. As part of Manuka Honey's ability to keep a wound area moist and its positive nutrient effect on tissue regeneration, it also helps to reduce scarring by lifting scabs and dead tissue, allowing the burn or wound to heal flush with the surface of the skin.

If the idea of using honey on your skin is not desirable, there is a viable solution. A company called Honeymark has developed a line of skin care products containing UMF Active Manuka Honey as a healing agent. "Honeymark products take the sticky mess out of applying Manuka Honey directly to wounds or other skin conditions," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "In addition to medical-grade active Manuka Honey, there are also other helpful ingredients in our products that gives you the edge over using plain Manuka Honey to treat a wound or burn."

The Phenomenon of Manuka Honey

The use of a medical-grade honey that is capable of destroying drug-resistant bacteria is successfully being used as a main ingredient in skin care products to cure a variety of different symptoms where antibiotics and traditional forms of medicine are ineffective.

Interesting information about a particular type of honey that comes from New Zealand is beginning to surface all over the world. Researchers are discovering that Manuka Honey possesses extremely powerful healing properties and may be more effective in treating certain symptoms than pharmaceuticals. As a result, it is being viewed as a natural treatment alternative on health conditions where antibiotics and other conventional medicines have failed. Manuka Honey is also being used as a desirable cosmetic ingredient in skin care products because of its ability to rejuvenate and moisturize the skin.

Manuka Honey has been used successfully in the treatment of burns, blisters, ringworm, pressure sores and dermatitis. It has long been used as an effective wound dressing because of its unparalleled antibacterial properties and its ability to efficiently clear infection. In addition to Manuka Honey's ability to destroy all bacteria, it also keeps wounds from dehydrating. Some traditional wound dressings keep wounds dry which can avoid infection, but leading to scarring. Others keep wounds moist which avoids the severe effects of dehydration, but creates a better environment for bacteria to grow. Manuka Honey has the ability to lift scabs and dead tissue, allowing the wound to heal flush with the surface of the skin while drawing water out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for bacteria to survive.

Researchers have also concluded that Manuka Honey is better than antibiotics because antibiotics actually slow down the rate of cell growth. However, the moisture-attracting nature of Manuka Honey actually pulls body fluids and nutrients into the wound surface where they help regenerate new skin growth and quicken the healing process.

All types of honey contain hydrogen peroxide, a known disinfectant, which is produced when the glucose in honey reacts with oxygen. However, the problem with hydrogen peroxide as an antiseptic is that it breaks down in the presence of enzymes in the body. In honey, hydrogen peroxide is produced in a slow-release manner, which preserves its effectiveness without damaging skin tissue. Although standard honey loses its effectiveness when exposed to light or heat, Manuka Honey's healing properties remain stable which is why it is the only type of honey that should be used for medical purposes.

In addition to the presence of hydrogen peroxide, scientists have also discovered other antibacterial properties in Manuka Honey such as UMF and methylglyoxal. These additional antibacterial properties are what makes Manuka Honey unique and especially effective for medical use. However, it is important to know that not all Manuka Honey has bio-active healing properties. It is generally accepted that Manuka Honey with a UMF rating of 10 or higher is considered to be medical grade honey and suitable for therapeutic use.

Patients all over the world are now enjoying the medicinal benefits of active Manuka Honey as it has been found to be effective against a wide range of microorganisms responsible for many negative health conditions. Manuka Honey has even been proven to work against antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as the MSRA bacterium which is responsible for the life-threatening Staph infections that have been plaguing our schools and hospitals. "It is expected that Manuka Honey may make antibiotics obsolete as more drug-resistant bacteria begin to emerge," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a manufacturer of skin care products that utilizes active Manuka Honey as a main ingredient. "It is not unrealistic to assume that we may see more bacteria resistant to antibiotics in the near future, making the medical use of active Manuka Honey imperative."

Honey and Skin Care

The use of honey in skin care products is becoming increasingly more popular as reports of its effectiveness are published.

There may be no better way to bring a smooth glow to your skin than by using skin care products containing honey. Honey's ability to absorb and retain moisture make it an ideal ingredient in many cosmetics 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. One advantage to using honey as a natural skin care ingredient is for the treatment of acne. Honey absorbs impurities from the pores in the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent. There is also an increasing number of honey products being introduced to the market for hair care, skin care, hand lotions, facial masks, moisturizers, wound care, etc.

One company that is capitalizing on the use of honey in skin care products is Honeymark International, which utilizes a special kind of honey found only in the New Zealand region. Honeymark uses Manuka Honey in its skin care products, which is naturally produced by bees who gather nectar from the Manuka tree, indigenous to the pollution-free environment of New Zealand. Manuka Honey has special plant-derived components that make its effectiveness in skin care many times greater than standard types of honey. In addition to hydrogen peroxide, which is found in all types of honey, Manuka Honey's unique components are Methylglyoxal and UMF. Manuka Honey also has a variety of nutrients and vitamins that contribute to its effectiveness in skin care.

Now that research and clinical studies have revealed that bacteria are the cause of infection and other skin conditions, Manuka Honey has become accepted as an extremely valuable resource. Manuka Honey has very powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that create an environment that is impossible for bacteria to survive. Even the resilient MRSA bacterium has not been able to develop a resistance to Manuka Honey. This has become of increasing interest among medical professionals as Staph infections plague our hospitals and communities.

"Honeymark takes the sticky mess out of using honey topically on the skin," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "We import Manuka Honey from New Zealand and blend it into our medicated creams and lotions for a much more desirable and user-friendly application." Honeymark currently has Manuka Honey products that are effective in treating wounds, burns, eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, etc. Honeymark also plans on increasing their line of Manuka honey-based products later this year to include an acne cream, anti-aging serum, hand sanitizing gel, antiseptic spray, shampoo, conditioner, liquid hand soap and a moisturizer. Buonanotte has also indicated that the company is working on the development of facial masks and bandages that have Manuka Honey infused into a coconut fiber material that can be applied directly to the skin, allowing for more efficient diffusion into the depth of skin tissue.

Active Manuka Honey Creams

Skin care products containing Manuka Honey are gaining popularity as their effectiveness overshadows that of antibiotics and other traditional forms of medicine.

As Manuka Honey's popularity increases, so does the need for it's topical application to become more user-friendly. Manufacturers of Manuka Honey products have been developing special formulations, blending this natural ingredient into skin creams in an effort to eliminate the sticky mess of dealing with honey directly on the skin.

It is important to know that not all Manuka Honey is the same. Only Active Manuka Honey should be used for medical purposes. The term "Active" indicates that it has some type of medical effectiveness. In New Zealand, where Manuka Honey comes from, there is a rating system that has been developed to signify its level of potency. It is generally accepted that Manuka Honey with a UMF rating of 10 or higher is considered to be medical grade honey. Anything less does not have the antibacterial activity to be appropriate for medical use.

Active Manuka Honey has proven to be so effective, that it cannot be ignored by the medical industry. Even doctors who historically favor pharmaceuticals rather than natural alternatives are beginning to warm up to Manuka Honey, as reports of its effectiveness spread around the world. In the years to come, it is expected that Manuka Honey will become widely accepted as a preferred, natural healing agent. It is currently being used in hospitals across Europe and has recently penetrated the U.S. market.

Active Manuka Honey is considered valuable for the following reasons. Its antibacterial properties are second to none. Manuka Honey's ability to destroy bacteria is so powerful that it is even capable of killing antibiotic-resistant microorganisms such as MRSA. There are currently no products sold over-the-counter that are strong enough to heal Staph infections the way Manuka Honey creams can. Manuka Honey also has an analgesic effect due to its anti-inflammatory properties. This helps to relieve pain in muscles, joints and damaged skin. Manuka Honey is also considered to be antimicrobial, meaning that it can also heal fungal infections in addition to bacterial infections.

Manuka Creams can be used to treat conditions such as eczema, acne, arthritis, infected wounds, burns, psoriasis and a variety of other skin conditions. Manuka Honey has a soothing effect on the skin, moisturizing it and healing damaged tissue. Its not only known for its healing ability, but its also known to heal quickly and efficiently. When Manuka Honey dressings are used to treat a wound, scarring is usually eliminated because the moist environment it creates lifts scabs easily, allowing the wound to heal flush with the surface of the skin.

"Given the limited tolerance of consumers who quickly lose patience with products that are difficult to use, Manuka Honey creams will most likely be favored over raw Manuka Honey," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a manufacturer of Manuka Honey Products. "The fact still remains that there are no products being sold today that can come close to the effectiveness of Manuka Honey products, especially in the areas of First Aid and Skin Care."

Manuka Honey Skin Care

Studies have found that one particular type of honey contains extraordinary healing properties, making it an ideal ingredient in various skin care and wound care products.

There's a new area of medical research and it focuses on an edible item that has been around for a very long time. This all-natural substance that is being studied for medical use is honey, but not necessarily the kind of honey you would buy in a supermarket. This type of healing honey is known as Manuka Honey, and experts are saying that it can relief a host of ailments.In laboratories all around the world, researchers are working relentlessly on new medical treatments. As it turns out one of the most promising is Manuka Honey.

Medicinal uses for honey go back 5000 years to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. However, honey is generating new interest these days as the science of its healing powers catches up to its folk legend. Honeymark International of Long Island, NY is having success with its line of Manuka Honey-based health care products. Honeymark products are made with Manuka Honey, which is a particularly potent type of honey that comes from New Zealand region and is known for its healing ability. Manuka Honey can do what an increasing number of modern antibiotics cannot, which is stop drug-resistant super-bugs such as MRSA and VRE.

"Manuka Honey accelerates the healing process in wounds and burns," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "It does this by sucking the moisture out of the cells of the bacteria and then they can't function." Wound care dressings containing Manuka Honey, such as the ones manufactured by Honeymark, are particularly effective in hard-to-heal wounds that are unresponsive to other forms of medication.

Manuka Honey contains vitamins and other useful components that contribute to its effectiveness, such as copper, iodine, zinc, enzymes, hydrogen peroxide, etc. The healing power of honey doesn't end there. Manuka Honey has been effective in treating symptoms such as eczema, arthritis, ringworm, athlete's foot, acne, etc.

Buonanotte emphasizes that the honey sold in supermarkets does not have the healing properties that are found in Manuka Honey. This is because standard honey is filtered and boiled to prolong the shelf life, not to mention that commercial honey just doesn't have the same antibacterial components that are found in Manuka Honey. If your worried about the sticky mess of using honey topically on the skin, Honeymark makes medicated creams and lotions that contain Active Manuka Honey.

Using Manuka Honey to Heal Wounds Infected by MRSA

Scientists have discovered that Manuka Honey has the ability to destroy antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria because of its extraordinary antibacterial properties.


Honey is an ancient remedy that is gaining increased acceptance in the modern treatment of wounds. It has now been discovered that a particular type of honey called 'Manuka Honey' contains even more powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that are effective in destroying a wide range of pathogens and has been shown to be equally effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

In laboratory studies, the effect of exposing MRSA to Manuka Honey was performed using electron microscopy. MRSA that was exposed to Manuka Honey showed noticeable differences to the MRSA that wasn't exposed to Manuka Honey. The notable difference was the presence of septa in cells inhibited by Manuka Honey.

In MRSA exposed to Manuka Honey, there was a increase in the numbers of bacterial cells with septain comparison to MRSA that was not exposed to Manuka Honey. It is believe that Manuka Honey interferes with the cell cycle of MRSA by affecting the separation of new cells after septum formation. Therefore, cells unable to complete division are disabled at that point in the cell cycle. MRSA is extremely difficult to treat because of its resistance to antibiotics. This research indicates that Manuka Honey is a viable solution to treating wounds infected with MRSA.

MRSA is a spherical bacterium that grows and divides into 2 similar cells every 30 minutes. It divides by forming a septum across the middle of the cell, which then splits in half to release two new cells. It has been found that 41% of untreated MRSA contained septa, whereas MRSA treated with Manuka Honey had higher proportions of septa. This occurred within one hour of exposing MRSA to Manuka Honey.

"MRSA cannot survive in the presence of Manuka Honey," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International, which is a manufacturer of health care products containing Manuka Honey as a healing agent. "In fact, to date, there has been no bacteria that has been able to develop a resistance to Manuka Honey, making it an extremely effective wound healer." Honeymark has developed a First Aid Antiseptic Lotion with Active Manuka Honey that has been successful in treating Staph infections and MRSA where other products have failed.
