The BHUM Difference 

High METHYLGLYOXAL Concentration (MGO 263+)

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the key bioactive compound in Mānuka honey, responsible for its powerful antibacterial properties. Our honey has a high MGO concentration of 263+, making it exceptionally potent in combating bacteria and promoting skin health. The higher the MGO level, the more effective the honey is at delivering these benefits to the skin.

Unique Mānuka Factor (UMF 10+)

Our UMF 10+ certification is a trusted marker of authenticity, guaranteeing that each batch of Mānuka honey meets strict quality standards. The Unique Mānuka Factor (UMF) certification ensures that the honey possesses the proven therapeutic properties for which Mānuka is renowned—such as antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antioxidant benefits. This certification also ensures that our honey is free from adulteration and has been sourced responsibly.

Intentionally Unpasteurized

We believe in maintaining the integrity of Manuka honey’s natural composition. Unlike many commercial honeys, our Manuka honey is never exposed to heat or harsh processing methods. This ensures that all of its natural enzymes, nutrients, and bioactive compounds remain intact, providing maximum skincare benefits. Processing and heating can destroy these sensitive elements, leaving only diluted or inferior versions behind.

Traceability: From Hive to Home

Each jar of our Manuka honey can be traced back to a single beekeeper, allowing for complete transparency in the sourcing process. We work with beekeepers who uphold the highest standards of integrity, ensuring that the honey is harvested ethically and responsibly. This direct relationship ensures that every batch meets the rigorous quality and purity requirements we demand.

While each honey has unique attributes and flavor profiles specific to a particular regions agriculture or wild foliage, there is a product from New Zealand that is truly a step above. Despite the many imitations -making big claims that are all "buzz" no "sting"- authentic Manuka honey is as rare and remarkable as the Manuka "Tea Tree" from which it is harvested. Liquid gold is an understatement when describing this versatile elixir. A native Kiwi delight, coveted for its transformative skincare properties, our monofloral honey is only harvested during the months of December and January, typically a 30-day window. With a limited pollination window, beekeepers must work as efficiently as the colonies they tend to ensure an unparalleled concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO 263+)—the bioactive compound responsible for its extraordinary antibacterial potency. Certified UMF 10+, referencing the Unique Manuka Factor, this is our minimum standards of purity and efficacy, with every jar traceable to apiarist who harvested it. Assuring this standard for quality and supply transparency is far from the industry standard. Intentionally unpasteurized, raw Manuka retains its full spectrum of natural enzymes, antioxidants, and bioactive nutrients—elements often diminished in processed orlower-grade & inferior blended honeys. This purity enables it to penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering lasting hydration while assisting our other ingredients in reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier. Its anti-inflammatory properties calm redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive or compromised skin, while its gentle exfoliating enzymes promote cell turnover for a smoother, more luminous complexion. A potent rejuvenator, Manuka honey accelerates the repair of minor cuts, burns, and scars, while its antioxidant-rich composition protects against environmental damage and premature aging. Sustainably harvested with respect for New Zealand’s delicate ecosystems, our Manuka honey is not just a skincare ingredient—it’s a testament to nature’s ability to nurture and heal.
