Sweet Raw Honey

Although honey has similar benefits to our other ingredients, it serves as a potent natural antibacterial, reinforcing the benefits of our tallow balms.

Benefits Of Topical Honey

Honey has been applied topically for centuries due to its medicinal benefits, and contemporary research continues to support many of these traditional applications. Here are some notable advantages and why we use honey in our many of our skin products:

  1. Antibacterial Properties: Honey, especially Manuka honey, has strong antibacterial properties. It can help prevent infection in minor cuts, burns, and wounds.

  2. Wound Healing: Honey has been shown to accelerate wound healing by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. Its high sugar content creates a moist environment that can facilitate healing and reduce the risk of infection.

  3. Moisturizing: Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture. This makes it an excellent choice for hydrating and softening dry skin.

  4. Anti-inflammatory Effects: The antioxidants and compounds in honey can reduce inflammation, which can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

  5. Antioxidant Benefits: Honey contains antioxidants that can help protect the skin from oxidative stress and free radical damage, which are contributors to premature aging.

  6. Skin Repair: Honey can aid in the repair of damaged skin by promoting cell growth and reducing the appearance of scars and blemishes.

  7. Acne Treatment: Due to its antibacterial properties, honey can help reduce acne-causing bacteria and soothe inflamed skin, making it a useful component in acne treatment.

  8. Exfoliation: Honey can act as a gentle exfoliant. When combined with other ingredients like sugar or oats, it can help remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother complexion.

 Though honey has a lot of similar benefits as some of our other ingredients, it is a powerful natural antibacterial and helps fortify all the awesome benefits of our tallow balms.

Important Notes

  • We use raw, unpasteurized honey in our balms, as pasteurized honey may lack its natural enzymes and antibacterial properties.
  • Perform a patch test before using honey products on the skin to ensure you’re not allergic.
  • Consult with a healthcare professional if you have a severe skin condition or concern.
