Why is Honey Such an Excellent Ingredient in Personal Care?
Bees have an enzyme in their stomachs called glucose oxidase.
When bees regurgitate nectar collected from flowers into combs to make honey, this enzyme mixes with the nectar, breaking it down into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
Because it’s so thick, rejects any kind of bacterial growth and contains hydrogen peroxide, honey creates the perfect barrier against infection on the skin and promotes healing at the same time.
