Honeymark Goes All-Natural


The manufacturer of Manuka honey products has taken all synthetic and chemical-based ingredients in their products and replaced them with plant-derived, natural ingredients.


In an effort to keep up with the recent demands of their customers, Honeymark has undergone a major reformulation process, giving their entire line of Manuka Honey products a facelift. Nowadays, consumers are very label savvy and are much more educated about what ingredients are safer and more effective. Even though many of the synthetic or chemical ingredients that have been used in skin care and personal care products over the last few decades are perfectly safe according to the FDA, the consumer preference is all-natural.

The development of skin care products utilizing natural ingredients is no longer a think of the future. It is here in the present and these products are in big demand. Along with many other manufacturers that are jumping on the "clean and green" bandwagon, Honeymark has recognize the importance of producing products that are made from plant-derived materials. Most consumers that are aware of the natural healing properties of Manuka Honey are interested natural remedies, rather than their pharmaceutical equivalents. With the horrifying list of negative side effects that accompany pharmaceutical advertisements, it's no wonder that the natural products movement has hit the retail market so hard.

Manuka Honey is becoming world renowned for its ability to heal, treat and cure a wide variety of health conditions, both internally and externally. Manuka Honey is already recognized as the only natural treatment alternative to antibiotic-resistant infections such as MRSA and VRE. Now some medical professionals have reason to believe that its antiviral properties may even be effective against the Swine Flu (H1N1 virus).

"There is no natural substance on the face of the planet that has more impressive healing qualities than Manuka Honey," says Dr. Vincent Milano, Executive Director of the TriState Medical Center in New York. "Over-the-counter cold medication doesn't work. I always tell my patients to take Manuka Honey instead. I've even seen MRSA Staph infections healed within days after applying Manuka Honey topically to the affected area. In most cases, Manuka Honey outperforms prescription medication for certain health conditions."

Honeymark products include a First Aid Antiseptic Lotion, Acne Cream, Anti-Wrinkle Serum, Hand Sanitizing Gel, Anti-Itch Cream, Anti-Fungal Solution and a variety of other skin care products, all of which contain active Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent. Even though Manuka Honey is indigenous to New Zealand, Honeymark products are manufactured in the U.S. Honeymark is one of the largest importers of Manuka Honey in the U.S. and plans on releasing other Manuka Honey products by next year. Future products include Manuka Honey Lozenges and Manuka Honey Capsules.

"Reformulating our products to include all natural ingredients was a long, over due project that I'm glad we have finally achieved," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "These new botanical ingredients perfectly compliment the natural healing properties of Manuka Honey. We are happy to introduce this amazing natural resource to U.S. consumers and other markets all over the world."

Protecting Yourself Against Flu Viruses and Bacterial Infections

Many people are taking advantage of the natural antiviral and antibacterial properties of a unique type of honey indigenous to New Zealand called Manuka honey.

Between growing concerns about the swine flu and MRSA staph infections, communities across the country are in a heightened state of paranoia. These life threatening conditions should be taken seriously and precautionary measures should be followed. The good news is that there are some very simple steps that can be taken to protect yourself and your family.

One important preventative measure is keeping your hands clean. However, the problem is that most antimicrobial products (such as liquid soap and hand gels) contain alcohol which can dry the skin out, creating microscopic cracks that allow germs to get below the surface of the skin where they can cause far more harm. A better solution is to use an alcohol-free product that contains an antimicrobial agent that is not harsh on the skin, such as Manuka Honey.

Manuka Honey is a special type of honey that comes from New Zealand that has natural antibacterial and antiviral properties. Manuka Honey has been clinically proven to eradicate the MRSA bacterium which is responsible for causing Staph infections that are resistant to most antibiotics. Manuka Honey's antiviral properties have also been successful in treating cold and flu symptoms.

Even though Manuka Honey is extremely effective at eliminating these dangerous pathogens, it must be used topically on the skin to do so, not ingested. Manuka Honey has many great health benefits when taken orally but in order for it to be effective in eliminating germs, it must come in direct contact with them. This would require applying the honey directly to your skin.

To avoid the sticky mess of smearing Manuka Honey all over your skin, a company called Honeymark has developed skin care products that contain Manuka Honey as a natural antimicrobial agent. Honeymark products are not sticky but still offer the same advantages of using Manuka Honey. Honeymark has developed a Hand Sanitizing Gel, Liquid Hand Soap and an
Antiseptic Spray, all of which contain Manuka Honey. These products are alcohol-free and very effective in destroying harmful viruses and bacteria on the surface of the skin. In addition, Manuka Honey is considered a humectant which means it has a moisturizing effect on the skin.

"People forget that honey was used for medical purposes long before modern medicine was invented," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "We use active Manuka Honey in our products because it contains antibacterial properties not found in other types of honey. It is our belief that Manuka Honey offers far more protection against flu viruses and bacterial contamination than any type of alcohol-based product."
