Yes — all of our formulations are 100% natural. That means no synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals, and no GMO ingredients. Ever.
They come from the same plant, but they’re not created equal.
• Mānuka Honey is made from the flower’s nectar. It’s antibacterial and soothing but low in actives once diluted in skincare.
• Mānuka Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves. It contains a good level of triketones — natural compounds up to 50x more antimicrobial than honey. Has a pungent scent which is why it hasn’t taken off in premium skincare.
• Mānuka Extract (like our MN8 Gold Extract™) is CO₂-extracted at low temperatures to retain the full spectrum of skin-active compounds — exceptionally high in triketones, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories and over 100x more antimicrobial than honey— in a highly bioavailable form. It’s the most potent and complete option for skin regeneration and due to the delicate scent molecules remaining in tact the scent is pleasant: green, fresh and grounding.
In short:
Honey soothes.
Oil purifies.
Extract soothes, purifies, repairs and protects.
It’s the most potent, complete form of Mānuka.
Our CO₂ extraction captures the full spectrum of skin actives and a wider range of triketones meaning more antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories.
It’s done at low temperatures, which preserves sensitive compounds and results in a scent that’s more pleasant and grounding than an essential oil.With 38%+ triketones, our MN8 Gold Extract™ is one of the strongest natural skin regenerators on the planet.What does that mean for your skin?Cellular repair. Boosted collagen. Balanced skin biome. Strengthened barrier. Calmed inflammation. Wrinkle defense via antioxidants. UV-B protection and reduction of UV-induced collagen degradation.
