Aniwell Active Manuka Honey 100G

A useful application for damaged or irritated skin.

Honey has an established reputation as an antibacterialagent. AMH 25% has been formulated to utilise all the known benefits of ACTIVE Manuka Honey when used for topical application in an easy to administer, stay-in-place form. It contains 25% of 16+ UMF (unique manuka factor). Active Manuka Honey contains the unique compound methylglyoxal, that provides a special natural antibacterialfunction able to inhibit many infectious bacteria. The antibacterialactivity of honey works in 3 ways and AMH 25% includes the unusual non-perioxide antibioticsubstance(s) present in some New Zealand Manuka Honey. This non-peroxide activityhas an antibacterialquality, of benefit in topical form, which appears to controlthe bacterial invasion of damaged skin.

Active Manuka Honey wound protective qualities are achieved by:

• Activity Factor (UMF): The main advantage is from the unique non-peroxide antibiotic effect that is determined through tests formulated by Waikato University Honey Research Unit, NZ as stated by a plus (+) number. Optimal antibacterial activity is achieved if the Active Manuka Honey is 15+ and above.
• Peroxide Effect (H2O2): Peroxide is released from the honey when fluid/aqueous material contacts the cream (serum from damaged areas), provides a cleansing action.
• Poultice Action: Honey is a super sugar solution so when applied to damaged skin it draws moisture from the area in an osmotic way so working as a gentle poultice.
