New Antiseptic Spray with Manuka Honey

Honeymark's Antiseptic spray is a non-staining, non-greasy, non-sticky, alcohol-free antiseptic that can be used to relieve pain and prevent infection in wounds, scrapes and burns.

With cases of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria (such as MRSA) on the rise, keeping skin free of harmful germs is an increasingly growing concern. MRSA bacterial cells don't need a wound to penetrate the surface of the skin. This resilient bacterium can find its way into pores, hair follicles or microscopic cracks to cause a serious and potentially life threatening infection.

Some antiseptic products contain synthetic ingredients that can damage the skin as a result of regular and continuous use. Most hand gels and soaps contain alcohol which can dry the skin and crack it which gives germs an opportunity to get below the surface of the skin where they can cause infection. However, Honeymark's Antiseptic Spray utilizes Manuka Honey as a natural antimicrobial agent. Manuka Honey is a safe, natural ingredient that has been found to have no harmful side effects when used topically on the skin as a healing agent. Studies have proven that there are no forms of harmful microorganisms that can combat the powerful healing properties of Manuka Honey, whether they be bacterial, viral or fungal. This product also contains Benzalkonium chloride which is considered one of the safest biocides and has a long history of efficacious use in eradicating bacteria.

Honeymark's Antiseptic Spray can be used to both heal and prevent infection. For scrapes and abrasions, it has a lot more of a user-friendly application for covering large portions of the skin apposed to antiseptic creams. It's also good for reaching areas often missed by soap and hand gels, such as around jewelry (rings) and under long fingernails. It's also a safe "no-touch" first aid treatment rather than having to risk cross-infection if applying an antiseptic to another person.

Honeymark's Antiseptic Spray is ideal for sports bags, lockers, pocketbooks, satchels, knapsacks or first aid kits. These days, it's important to protect yourself from infection as well as preventing yourself from passing infection to the people you touch. There are many people who unknowingly carry infectious bacteria on their skin that can easily infect other people who may have a break in their skin. If you're on the go and there's no place to wash your hands, one spray of this product forms an instant, protective layer that helps to prevent infection and aids natural healing.

"Manuka Honey has a very soothing effect on the skin," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Its anti-inflammatory properties help relieve pain associated with wounds, burns, insect bites and stings while protecting against harmful bacteria that cause infection." Manuka Honey is currently being regarded as one of the only substances in the world that is capable of killing MRSA and healing Staph infections.

The non-aerosol, pump spray is safe for the environment and easy to use. For more information or to purchase Honeymark's Antiseptic Spray with Manuka Honey, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com. Honeymark products are not tested on animals.

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.

New Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizing Gel with Manuka Honey by Honeymark

Skin care manufacturer specializing in Manuka Honey products has released a new antibacterial hand gel that can ward off infectious microorganisms on the surface of the skin, including MRSA.

The leader in Manuka Honey skin care products has outdone themselves again by launching a new product that is effective as a preventative measure in the battle against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that cause infection. Their Hand Sanitizing Gel contains Manuka Honey as an antibacterial agent and is capable of destroying bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, VRE, MRSA, etc. It also contains Benzalkonium chloride which is an FDA approved antiseptic.

According to the CDC, bacterial infections account for almost 2 million health complications each year, 100,000 of which are fatal. Most hand gels contain alcohol to kill germs. Alcohol may have the ability to kill germs but it also dries the skin out and cracks it, giving germs the opportunity to get on the inside where they can cause far more harm than on the surface of the skin. Honeymark's Hand Sanitizing Gel is alcohol-free and kills germs on contact when you don't have time to wash, leaving hands felling soft, fresh and clean without the need for water.

Manuka Honey has an antibacterial activity primarily due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide which is formed in a slow-release manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase. Manuka Honey can be diluted and still destroy bacteria very efficiently. It also contains an additional antibacterial compound found only in honey produced from the Leptospermum plant which is known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. In addition, Manuka Honey is considered to be antimicrobial which means that it can destroy any infectious microorganisms whether they be bacterial, viral or fungal.

"Our Hand Sanitizing Gel is a far more superior product than alcohol-based gels such as Purell," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "With the widespread risk of contracting MRSA and experts predicting the emergence of new drug-resistant bacterial strains in the future, this product offers a safe and effective way to protect yourself against infection."

Honeymark also offers a similar product in the form of an Antiseptic Spray. For more information or to purchase Honeymark's Hand Sanitizing Gel with Manuka Honey, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com.

New Acne Cream with Manuka Honey by Honeymark

A New York-based skin care manufacturer that specializes in Manuka Honey has developed a product that utilizes the natural healing properties of this premium honey to eliminate pimples on the skin.

Manuka Honey is the first breakthrough in the area of acne treatment in many years. This special type of honey is 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 Manuka Honey contains extraordinary healing properties not found in other types of honey and even outperforms most medications. Manuka Honey is not only effective in eliminating existing acne but it can also prevent new breakouts from forming under the skin. It also treats acne in a way that is far less damaging to the skin than many other acne treatments.

The antibacterial properties present in Manuka Honey kills the excess bacteria that builds up on the skin. This bacteria can become trapped in hair follicles and pores. Once these bacteria enter the skin, they react with oil and other substances, resulting in acne.

Sometimes, traditional acne treatments can dry the skin. However, Manuka Honey has a hydrating effect and natural moisturizing effect on the skin. As a general rule, hydrated skin heals faster. Also, unlike other ingredients commonly found in most acne products, Manuka Honey has been found to have no negative side effects. Since Manuka Honey is a natural ingredient and an anti-irritant it doesn't aggravate sensitive skin.

There are also other benefits to using Manuka Honey to treat acne. For example, Manuka Honey has an anti-inflammatory action that relieves pain and reduces redness on the skin as a result of swelling and inflamed tissue. If pimples become infected, Manuka Honey's natural antibacterial properties go to work on disinfecting the area very quickly. Manuka Honey also has an osmotic effect that has the ability to draw impurities out of pores, leaving the skin clean and smooth.

In some severe cases, acne can create scars. When a scab forms over damaged skin, new skin growth can only occur under the scab, causing the new tissue to grow uneven with the surface of the skin. This is how skin deformity and scars are formed. However, the moist healing environment created by Manuka Honey naturally lifts scabs off the skin, allowing new skin tissue to grow flush with the surface of the skin. This is another major benefit to using Manuka Honey to cure acne.

Manuka Honey unclogs pores by drawing impurities out of the skin. It also has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells that may be present in acne breakouts, helping pimples to heal faster. All of these factors make Manuka Honey a valuable ingredient in Honeymark's Acne Cream. This unique formulation works very quickly so you won't have to wait to see results. When applying the Honeymark's Acne Cream with Manuka Honey to pimples, you can expect to see a significant improvement within 2-4 days.

"The topical use of Manuka Honey helps maintain a positive skin environment which is why we use it as a main ingredient in our Acne Cream," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Manuka Honey has natural healing properties which help to repair skin affected by acne."

Honeymark Launches New Anti-Wrinkle Serum with Manuka Honey

New York-based skin care manufacturer introduces their first cosmetic product, an anti-aging system containing their signature ingredient, Manuka Honey.

Honey has been used for cosmetic purposes going back as far as Cleopatra, who used to mix it with milk and apply it to her face. Recent studies suggest that Manuka Honey, a premium honey produced in the New Zealand region, has an even greater effect on the skin than other types of honey. It has been discovered that high doses of healing nutrients found in this honey such as B-vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and enzymes play a key role in reversing cell damage and aging.

Manuka honey contains antioxidants that heal, repair and nourish the skin, making it look and feel younger, smoother and healthier. The rejuvenating properties found in Manuka Honey help in the regeneration of collagen and elastin. It helps reduce lines and wrinkles and helps the skin retain more moisture so that it doesn't appear to be dry or flaky.

It has also been found that Manuka Honey helps the skin's cell renewal process. This means younger looking skin cells are more readily available. It creates stronger collagen protein which helps keep skin youthful and supple. In addition, Manuka Honey contains natural antiseptic qualities that heal scratches or sores that may be present on the surface of the skin. The antioxidants present in Manuka Honey protect against free radicals in the environment.

As Manuka Honey penetrates deeply into the skin, it nourishes and rejuvenates, making the skin feel and look softer and younger. Free radicals damage collagen fibers responsible for keeping skin firm and tight. Manuka Honey strengthens collagen, destroys the radicals and improves the skins elasticity giving the appearance of younger-looking skin. Manuka Honey is so effective as a natural healing agent, it has even been proven to be effective in treating conditions such as acne, eczema, bacterial and fungal infections.

In addition to Manuka Honey, Honeymark's Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains other valuable anti-aging ingredients, such as Matrixyl, Retinol and Collagen.

Matrixyl contains polypeptides called matrikines, that restructure and repair the skin. They stimulate collagen production by jump-starting the skin repair process, causing significant improvements in elasticity and skin tone. Matrixyl is an amazing breakthrough in skin care, providing a significant anti-wrinkle and skin lifting effect. It actually penetrates the skin to repair and stimulate collagen production, leading to smoother, more radiant skin. After only two months of using Honeymark's Anti-Wrinkle Serum, customers will experience a 45% decrease in wrinkle depth, 250% increase in collagen production and 15% improvement in skin tone.

Retinol is a Vitamin A derivative that repairs and stimulates collagen and elastin, creating firmer, smoother skin. Its small molecular structure allows it to penetrate the outer layers of the skin and repairs the lower layers of the skin where collagen and elastin exist. Retinol also increases skin cell turnover and exfoliation, drastically reducing age spots and blotches on the skin.

Collagen is a major structural protein that makes up 75% of the skin. It stimulates the formation of new collagen fibrils, leading to skin regeneration. At the same time elasticity is improved, helping to smooth wrinkles on the face and neck.

"We have combined the best anti-aging ingredients for a truly unique age reversing system," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Our Anti-Wrinkle Serum significantly outperforms other higher priced products containing ingredients that are damaging to the skin."

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.
