Honeymark Takes The Sticky Mess Out Of Manuka Honey

With scientific reports indicating that Manuka Honey is effective in treating MRSA and a variety of other health conditions, one manufacturer of skin care products delivers a more user-friendly application.

With all the various types of skin care products available on the market, Honeymark International of Long Island, NY has developed a niche by utilizing a special type of honey indigenous to New Zealand. Bio-active Manuka Honey has been proven to have extraordinary natural healing properties, capable of treating conditions such as infected wounds, dermatitis, acne, ringworm, etc. There are very compelling studies that have been recently conducted that show Manuka Honey's antibacterial properties are so powerful that even antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA have not been able to develop a resistance to it. This breaking news has drawn worldwide attention within the medical communities as medical professionals search for alternative solutions to treat Staph infections and other hard-to-heal wounds.

Even though Manuka Honey has been found to efficiently eradicate both bacterial and fungal infections, it's sticky texture has always made it less desirable to use topically on the skin. Like all types of honey, Manuka Honey is a moist, sugary substance that most people would never consider using on their skin. However, active Manuka Honey has healing properties not found in standard types of honey, making it much more suitable for medical use. Honeymark imports Manuka Honey from New Zealand and blends it into their skin care products, allowing for a much more desirable texture. In addition, Honeymark products also contain other ingredients that are effective in treating the various health conditions that each product is designed to be used for.

For example, Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion contains Benzalkonium Chloride which is and FDA approved disinfectant that is very effective in clearing infection. Their Anti-Itch Cream contains hydrocortisone which can be found in many eczema and psoriasis products. Tolnaftate is an ingredient that kills fungus which combined with Manuka Honey's antimicrobial properties can eliminate conditions such as ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot and nail fungus. Honeymark's Pain Relief Cream contains ingredients such as Camphor, Menthol, Emu oil and almond oil that are used to provide relief to arthritis sufferers and individuals experiencing muscle and joint pain.

Manuka Honey could never be comfortably spread on the skin the way a cream or a lotion can. Especially in the U.S., where many people still regard honey as merely a food item and not for medical use, Honeymark has provided consumers with a convenient way to utilize this amazing natural resource. Honeymark is also in the process of releasing an Antiseptic Spray as well as a Hand Sanitizing Gel, both containing active Manuka Honey. These products will help in preventing the spread of MRSA without relying on alcohol as the only means of killing germs.

"We have seen a significant increase in the publics awareness of Manuka Honey over the past 6-8 months," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Mostly because consumers now have the ability to educate themselves on their own health concerns thanks to the Internet. Manuka Honey is being regularly used in the Asian and European markets. It works too well not to penetrate the U.S. market as a viable treatment option to antibiotics and more traditional forms of medicine."
