Manuka & Tea Tree Honey

This powerful and popular honey has been used for generations for its antibacterial and healing qualities. But where does it sit in the Australian Honey landscape?

What is Manuka honey?

Both Tea Tree Honey and Manuka Honey are sourced from a tree species called Leptospermum. Of the 80 subspecies of Leptospermum, 77 are found near coastal regions of Australia, while one subspecies (L. scoparium) is common between Australia and New Zealand. This particular subspecies is what is commonly referred to as Manuka.

Manuka Honey and Tea Tree Honey both have antibacterial and healing properties. Medical grade honey sourced from Leptospermum plants has become a modern treatment for wounds and skin infections. Read more here.

At Beechworth Honey, we acknowledge the medical benefits of some Leptospermum honeys, but we don’t make any medical claims with our honey. We are all about 100% Australian honey, amazing flavour and the health giving vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants of all 100% Australian honey.

Honey and beeswax have been widely used in skincare for years

Thanks to antibacterial and beneficial components, raw honey and beeswax have been widely used in beauty and skincare products for many years.

Beeswax is known for its protective and humetcent qualities; creating a protective barrier, while drawing moisture in.

Manuka Honey is a natural humectant, drawing moisture into the skin. This hydration helps to further enhance the skin’s elasticity and cell regeneration, as well as promote healing.
