Functions
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Honey has been used as a skincare ingredient for over 4,000 years in Egyptian, Greek, and Ayurvedic medicine for wound healing and moisturizing. Hydrogenation of honey was developed in modern cosmetics to create a more stable, shelf-stable form suitable for various product types.
