Perfectly Posh Ingredients 101 - Honey

Honey's ability to absorb and retain moisture helps keep skin hydrated and fresh and prevents drying. It is known that ancient beauties regularly applied a mixture of honey and milk to the face to keep the skin young-looking, radiant, and smooth.

Honey's natural antioxidant and anti-microbial properties help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun's rays, and supports the skin's ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin, leaving it feeling silky soft and supple.

One of the most common natural skin care benefits with honey is related to treatment of minor acne which could be caused by hormonal changes. Honey absorbs impurities from the pores on the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent.

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.

Manuka honey is found in our Honey Dip {Chunk} soap. Honey is also in our Honey, Honey! Hand Cream and Body Cream, as well as our It's the Bees Knees body scrub and Muddy Honey body mask.
