Mānuka honey is nature's powerhouse. ACTIVIST specializes in ingestible Mānuka products for beauty, wellbeing, and immune support.
Mānuka honey has a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey, with its active agent identified as methylglyoxal (MGO). These enzymes create a natural hydrogen peroxide that works as an antibacterial agent. The concentration of MGO is widely measured in the industry to determine potency. The higher the MGO content, the more powerful the honey. This potency is often indicated on the label as a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating, which assures its quality and authenticity. When purchasing Mānuka honey, it's important to choose authentic products with a certified UMF rating.
The Activist Difference
ACTIVIST Mānuka Honey is a monofloral honey, crafted solely from the flowers of the Mānuka tree. Distinguished by its deep golden hue and a pristine source of essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants, it provides incredible immune and digestion support. The honey is highly valued for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which help to banish bacteria, harmonize skin’s pH, and encourage cellular beauty from the inside out. Mānuka Honey can even be used to treat burns, wounds, acne, and eczema.
Raw Mānuka Honey
Raw Mānuka honey can be added to tea, spread on toast, used as a natural sweetener in smoothies and dressings, or simply taken by the spoonful daily. It's especially good during the winter or when you are feeling run down and under the weather.

Mānuka Honey Mask
The ACTIVIST Mānuka Honey Mask helps to repair skin damage and reveals a healthy glow. Use it as a face mask, skin cleanser, for honey tapping, and as a spot treatment. The honey mask is extremely hydrating, promotes skin regeneration, repairs cellular damage, calms inflammation, and lessens the appearance of scars.
How to: Honey Tapping
- Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser to prepare it for the method, then pat dry with a soft cloth.
- With dry hands, apply the ACTIVIST Mānuka Honey Mask to the four (4) fingers from your index to your pinky and press gently into your skin, quickly rolling them off. The motion should be quick while intentionally moving about the entire face.
- Concentrate on precise areas where you feel additional exfoliation, drainage, and TLC are needed.
- Add a few water droplets to your fingers if it becomes too challenging to work with, but remember, you want it to be sticky.
- After tapping, leave the mask on for 10 to 20 minutes before gently removing it with a warm, wet cloth.
- Follow by applying moisturizing products.
Honey tapping can be performed once or twice a week, and it is best to do it in the evening to allow the skin to reap its fullest benefits, as your skin heals and regenerates itself most while you sleep.
