RAW HONEY


Everybody know how beneficial honey is and how it is derived. Honey is not just useful in cleansing your internal system but it has many other benefits and uses too. Honey, has been used as a natural remedy for centuries to treat several ailments. Honey is a rich source of natural sugars like fructose and glucose along with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants

Made by the alchemy of bees collecting nectar, pollen, and resins from flowers, honey can help moisturize, fight aging, and fight bacteria. Plus, it’s loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, and healing compounds. So, what is raw honey? it is honey that hasn't been heat-treated or pasteurized; it contains more active phytonutrient antioxidants and enzymes for enhanced benefits.

Just like Glycerin Honey is also a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air into the skin and ensures it's retained it in the layers where it’s needed most for penetrating, long-lasting hydration.

Pore Cleanser
The enzymes in raw honey clarifies skin and keeps pores clear and clean. Plus, the antibacterial properties of honey prevents bacterial buildup that can lead to skin imbalances and breakouts.

Gentle Exfoliator
Honey is loaded with antioxidants, enzymes, and other nutrients that nourish, cleanse, and hydrate skin. its a natural exfoliator that removes dead skin cells, allowing new cells to emerge for a radiant complexion.

Scar Fader & Skin lightener
Honey is said to lighten skin, and its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compounds help to decrease the appearances of scars and increase healing and tissue regeneration. The hydrating properties of honey and coconut oil or olive oil will also help revive skin cells, while regular, gentle massaging will increase circulation to aid skin recovery and cell turnover. Also, helps clear blemishes.

Honey contains antibacterial and antifungal properties that thwart bacteria that can lead to breakouts. Its anti-inflammatory properties will calm redness and irritation.

Bath Soak
Honey's not just hydrating; its antioxidants will repair skin and protect it against oxidative and environmental damage.

Cuticle Moisturiser
It helps aid and strengthen the nails as it balances pH for healthy growth.

Sunburn Protection
Honey restores hydration to the deepest layers of sun-exposed skin and honey contains powerful anti-inflammatories to calm burned skin and aid recovery.

A Natural Healer:
Honey is a wonderful antibacterial agent and is effective in healing burns, cuts and wounds When Applied topically to scrapes, lacerations and even sore nipples, honey promotes rapid tissue repair and eases pain. Using pure honey on open wounds keeps them sterile and prevents further infections, gangrene and other complications. This is due to the presence of a bacteria-killing agent called inhibine, found only in raw honey. Unfortunately, inhibine is easily destroyed during pasteurization.(hence raw honey is used in IVORY products)

Anecdote: It is written in ancient books that cleopatra soaked herself in milk and raw honey while bathing. (Not possible in busy times like today - right?)Hence there is a short cut solution. Go for IVORY products. 

DELAYS AGING PROCESS
Honey contains anti-inflammatory properties that delay the ageing process. So apply some honey before you go off to bed every night.
