This blog post explores how our Manuka Honey + Kanuka Oil Night Cream can help restore your skin's natural barrier, utilizing the unique properties of New Zealand's native botanicals.

What is the Skin Barrier and Why Does It Matter?

The skin barrier, also known as the stratum corneum, is the outermost layer of your skin. It acts as a shield, protecting you from external aggressors like pollutants, bacteria, and UV radiation. A healthy skin barrier also prevents moisture loss, keeping your skin hydrated and supple. When the skin barrier is compromised, it can lead to a cascade of problems, including:

• Dryness and flakiness
• Increased sensitivity
• Redness and irritation
• Eczema and dermatitis flare-ups
• Increased susceptibility to infections
• Accelerated aging

Therefore, maintaining a healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health and radiance.

The Power Couple: Manuka Honey and Kanuka Oil

New Zealand boasts a unique biodiversity, resulting in potent natural ingredients with exceptional skincare benefits. Manuka Honey and Kanuka Oil are two such treasures, and they work synergistically to restore and protect your skin barrier.

What are the benefits of Manuka Honey for the skin barrier?

Manuka Honey offers a multitude of benefits for the skin barrier. It provides humectant properties, drawing moisture to the skin, while also containing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds that help to soothe and repair damaged skin.

Manuka Honey, particularly that with a high UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating, is renowned for its therapeutic properties. Our Night Cream uses Manuka Honey with MGO 45+, ensuring a potent concentration of beneficial compounds. Key benefits include:

• Humectant: Attracts and retains moisture, keeping the skin hydrated.
• Antibacterial: Helps to combat bacteria that can compromise the skin barrier.
• Anti-inflammatory: Reduces redness and inflammation, promoting healing.
• Antioxidant: Protects the skin from free radical damage, contributing to a healthier barrier function.

Our Manuka Honey is sourced sustainably from pristine New Zealand environments, ensuring its purity and potency. We adhere to strict quality standards, as indicated by the UMF Association, guaranteeing you receive the authentic benefits of this remarkable ingredient.

What are the benefits of Kanuka Oil for the skin barrier?

Kanuka Oil is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it an excellent ingredient for soothing irritated skin and supporting barrier repair. It can also help to regulate sebum production, promoting a balanced complexion.

Kanuka Oil, derived from the native New Zealand Kanuka tree, complements Manuka Honey beautifully. Its key benefits include:

• Anti-inflammatory: Calms irritated and inflamed skin, reducing redness and discomfort.
• Antimicrobial: Helps to prevent infection and promote healing.
• Soothing: Provides relief from itching and discomfort associated with a compromised skin barrier.

Similar to Manuka Honey, our Kanuka Oil is sustainably harvested in New Zealand, ensuring its quality and environmental responsibility.

How the Manuka Honey + Kanuka Oil Night Cream Restores Your Skin Barrier

Our Night Cream is specifically formulated to leverage the synergistic benefits of Manuka Honey and Kanuka Oil, along with other skin-loving ingredients, to restore your skin barrier while you sleep. This potent blend offers a multi-faceted approach to skin barrier repair:

• Deep Hydration: Hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant, works in conjunction with Manuka Honey to draw moisture into the skin, plumping and hydrating from within.
• Soothing and Calming: Kanuka Oil's anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin, reducing redness and promoting a sense of calm.
• Barrier Repair: Hemp Seed Oil, rich in essential fatty acids, helps to replenish the skin's lipid barrier, strengthening its natural defenses.
• Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection, shielding the skin from free radical damage and promoting collagen production.
• Nourishment: Shea Butter and Olive Oil provide rich nourishment, supporting skin elasticity and overall health.

This carefully crafted formula works overnight to repair and replenish your skin, leaving you with a healthy, radiant complexion.

How Does Hyaluronic Acid Help Repair the Skin Barrier?

Hyaluronic acid helps repair the skin barrier by attracting and retaining moisture, plumping the skin and reducing transepidermal water loss. This enhanced hydration strengthens the barrier and promotes overall skin health.
