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.
