Discover all about Activist Manuka >
Raw Mānuka honey, the flagship ingredient in ACTIVIST skincare, is produced in Aotearoa, New Zealand by bees that pollinate Mānuka between spring and summer.
Produced in small quantities, it retains its active nutritional properties and plant enzymes for unparalleled purity and quality.
Mānuka honey is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. In 1981, researchers at the New Zealand University of Waikato discovered that Mānuka honey had a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey and identified its active agent, methylglyoxal (MGO) - whose concentration determines the power of its antibacterial virtues. In addition to this, the MGO label testifies to the authenticity of Mānuka honey. This certification is scientific, precise and transparent and leaves no room for confusion.
What are the benefits of the Manuka Honey ?
If ACTIVIST wanted to make Mānuka honey the star ingredient in the formulation of its skincare products, it is because it is a super-ingredient, multi-use and rich in benefits. In addition to its anti-inflammatory effects, manuka honey works like a plaster against germs and can sometimes be even more effective than taking antibiotics.
Internally it stimulates the immune system, relieves the digestive system and oral inflammations, while applied to the skin it soothes irritation, reduces blemishes and acne scars.
Used as a beauty mask or as a superfood to incorporate into recipes to naturally sweeten them and enhance the taste, Mānuka honey is a real gift from nature that we cannot live without !

Activist Manuka honey, an elixir with many virtues
Activist Manuka was born from the idyll between Gabrielle Mirkin and Luke Harwood, two lovers of nature and its treasures, originally from New Zealand.
A land renowned for its fertile and luxuriant nature, New Zealand offers extremely rare ingredients, including Manuka honey, also known as the "nectar of the gods", a nickname that says a lot about its benefits. It is this honey that the New Zealand brand places at the heart of its products and its philosophy of ecotherapy.
Source of innumerable benefits, Manuka honey is both popular for its therapeutic and cosmetic use. With a level of enzymes much higher than that of classic honey, Manuka honey is rich in methylglyoxal (MGO), an active agent which gives it its antibacterial properties and which makes it a miraculous product for the body and the beauty of the skin. This honey is well known for calming oral and skin inflammation, stimulating the immune system, reducing scars and other imperfections. Activist Manuka treatments also benefit from the MGO label, a guarantee of the authenticity and exceptional quality of the honey used.
The New Zealand brand offers a selection of honey with a varied concentration of MGO – ranging from 50 to 1000 MGO – to best suit all needs. Similarly, Activist Manuka treatments have been specially designed to adapt to various modes of use: application to the skin as a mask or oral consumption in small quantities, this honey is on our plate and in our masks for our greatest pleasure.

Activist Manuka, a brand with glowing reviews
Renowned for the exceptional quality of its honey, Activist Manuka has also established itself through its ethical values and its commitment to beekeeping that respects both the ecosystem – and therefore the bees – and independent beekeepers in collaboration with the brand.
Activist Manuka more generally carries in its DNA the imprint of ecotherapy, a means of healing body and mind by returning to Nature and its products in the purest form possible. The culmination of this philosophy? A range of highly antiseptic, protective and deliciously sweet multifunction honey;)
