Aotea - Mānuka Honey Day Cream

Mānuka Honey Day Cream - A 100% Natural Moisturising Cream

A lightweight day cream formulated to nourish sensitive skin, soothe irritations and blemishes, whilst increasing hydration in the skin. What we put on our skin is ultimately absorbed into our body; which is why our Mānuka Honey Day Cream contains only the most natural and restorative ingredients. Mānuka Honey has a high moisture content, which can naturally draw moisture to the skin and will leave your skin feeling hydrated for longer. This day cream also contains kawakawa infused sweet almond oil, providing strong anti-inflammatory properties, ideal for reducing redness and blemishes.

Handmade in small batches on Aotea. Product may vary slightly from batch to batch.

Science

This cream contains 800+ MGO Mānuka Honey, which naturally has potent anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. The non-peroxide activity of the honey will help form a barrier, increasing moisture levels. Due to the reaction of glucose and oxygen molecules, it is able to reduce inflammation as well. We also use other oils infused with Kawakawa and Mānuka, with more restorative ingredients like Vitamin E Oil, Shea Butter and Provitamin B5.

Aotea was founded in 2017. We are inspired by mātauranga māori (māori knowledge) and this knowledge manifests itself in our range of therapeutic skincare. Aotea is the māori name for Great Barrier Island and it is here where we are from and where we grow the native flora we use (and extract their oils) and spin these into the products in our range. This is all done by our team on our papakāinga (land).
