Certified Active 16+ Manuka Honey and Pure Bee Venom: stimulates new skin cell growth by 80%
BeeBio anti-aging skincare range has been formulated with the purest and natural ingredients, which are highly bioactive, meaning they produce an effect on skin tissue. Our ingredients synergistically work together to provide the ultimate in multi-functional natural skincare.
Certified Active 16+ Manuka honey
Active Manuka Honey contains an enzyme that enhances skin cell renewal, promoting collagen production. High levels of essential fatty acids along with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and sugars provide nutrition for renewing and repair skin cells. Our independent scientific research has shown that 16+ Active Manuka Honey enhances skin cell renewal by more than 80% compared to controls, making it a very powerful anti-aging ingredient.
BeeBio Independent Skin Cell Research conducted with the assistance of a New Zealand Ministry of Science and Innovation grant has scientifically proven the powerful 80% skin cell regeneration properties only found in NZ Medical Grade Manuka Honey and Pure Bee Venom. With its amazing advanced, moisturising, healing, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it is suitable for all skin types including dry, irritated or sensitive skin as well as oily and acne-prone skin.
Your skin reacts to Bee Venom as an irritation as if it has been lightly stung with Melittin. This results in increased blood circulation to the deep layers of the skin, stimulating cell regeneration and the production of elastin and collagen to lift, plump and tighten the skin.
With increasing age, the skin's cell renewal process becomes less efficient. Tissue repair and cell regeneration slow down. Our independent scientific research has shown that BeeBio Bee Venom enhances skin cell renewal by more than 80% compared to controls, making it a very powerful anti-ageing ingredient.
Bee Venom is also known to dissolve the cell membranes and increase skin permeability. This enables improved penetration of the skin cells and skin tissue of other bioactive ingredients resulting in increased effectiveness of our skincare products.
Our bee venom is derived from 100% Manuka honey bees and is naturally harvested without injury to bees. The quality of New Zealand Pure Bee Venom is unsurpassed, making it an extremely valuable and powerful ingredient.
