HONEY Apis mellifera has been used to assist the rapid healing of damaged skin tissue, and for its ability to hydrate the skin. Honey has antimicrobial properties which are thought to be due to its enzymatic release of hydrogen peroxide from the application on honey on the skin. Honey is a powerhouse of nutrition, it contains all of the B-complex, A, C, D, E and K vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. The live enzyme content of honey is one of the highest of all foods.

The galbridin in licorice rood helps to reduce uneven skin darkening, reducing hyperpignentation. Licorice root works by blocking tyrosinase, the skin enzyme that is responsible for the pigmentation of the skin. It is well tolerated by all skin types.
