K?marahou and M?nuka Honey Cleanser

Our cleanser combines two of New Zealand's native flora renowned for their soft cleansing effect on the skin. We use 100+ MGO m?nuka honey, that has anti-bacterial qualities, but also a moisturising and anti-inflammatory content. It helps softly remove makeup and dirt from the skin while not being too harsh. We also add k?marahou which has a high saponin content which means it acts as a natural surfactant and helps foam on the face so that it helps clean the skin, again naturally and softly. Follow up with our m?nuka and kawakawa water toner, and our honey day cream to finish.

Science

As a result of these saponins, k?marahou is fantastic for cleaning skin. In the 19th century, bushmen found that when its flowers are rubbed with water they foam into natural lather, which they could use to clean the kauri gum off their skin. As a result k?marahou is often nicknamed 'gum-diggers' or 'bushmans' soap. K?marahou is good for all-round health, containing valuable flavonoids promote digestive health. Quecetin helps seasonal health, addressing symptoms like congestion and inflammation. M?nuka honey in particular is uniquely antibacterial The enzyme glucose oxidase reacts with the glucose in the m?nuka honey and oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide, which destroys bacteria and clears the skin. This means it has the capacity to fight harmful bacteria that can often lead to breakouts and blemishes which is why using m?nuka honey regularly can be so beneficial. Furthermore, m?nuka honey is also known to reduce inflammation and redness and has been used in treatment for things like rosacea. this means that m?nuka honey is both preventative and restorative when used in skin treatment and has amazing pedigree in both instances.
