Activist Mānuka

What is Activist Mānuka?

Activist Manuka is built around the rare potency of New Zealand mānuka honey, a bioactive ingredient prized for its naturally high enzyme activity for wellness benefits and skin-calming antibacterial properties. Unlike conventional honey, mānuka is especially supportive for sensitive and dry skin, making it a standout in clean skincare and wellness rituals.

Activist Manuka creates premium-grade honey and Manuka honey-based formulas with verified strength, traceable sourcing, and environmental care, offering nutrient-dense treatments that comfort, replenish, and visibly support skin health.

Can you eat Activist Mānuka honey?

Yes. Activist Mānuka honey is food-grade, raw Mānuka honey and can be eaten straight from the jar or stirred into teas and smoothies. Mānuka honey is widely valued for wellness support, including soothing the throat, supporting digestive health, and providing naturally occurring antibacterial activity that can help during seasonal immune stress.

At Beauty Heroes, you’ll also find Mānuka honey–based masks and serums. While they contain Mānuka honey as an active ingredient, they are not intended for consumption. The difference is simple:

• Raw Activist Mānuka honey = edible and topical
• Masks and serums = topical skincare only, blended with other skin-supportive ingredients for targeted results

How do you use Activist Mānuka honey for skin?

Activist Mānuka honey can be used directly on the skin as a natural treatment. Apply a thin layer to clean, damp skin and leave on for 15–30 minutes before rinsing, or use it as a spot treatment overnight.

It can also be mixed with warm water, botanical oils, or gentle exfoliants to create a custom mask. For a more refined experience, Activist’s Mānuka honey masks and serums offer the same core ingredient with added actives designed to hydrate, calm, and support the skin barrier.

Can Manuka honey help with acne scars?

Manuka honey may help improve the appearance of acne scars over time by supporting skin repair, its naturally soothing and hydrating properties can help calm post-blemish inflammation and promote more even-looking skin.

While it won’t erase scars instantly, consistent use may help reduce redness and texture associated with past breakouts, especially when combined with a clean and healthy skincare routine.

What are the benefits of Manuka honey for skin?

Mānuka honey is a coveted skincare ingredient, celebrated for its ability to cocoon the skin in lasting hydration while comforting and fortifying the skin barrier, delivering nutrients without congesting pores.

Naturally calming and restorative, mānuka honey helps quiet visible irritation and supports skin as it rebounds from stress, making it especially well-suited for blemish-prone or easily unsettled complexions.

The result is skin that feels supple, cushioned, and visibly luminous, with a softness and clarity that reads as healthy, cared for, and deeply replenished.

Is Manuka honey safe during pregnancy?

For most people, consuming food-grade Manuka honey during pregnancy is generally considered safe. However, as with any dietary supplement or natural product, it’s best to consult your doctor if you have concerns or specific medical conditions.

Topical use of Manuka honey in skincare products is considered safe during pregnancy.
