Why mānuka honey is exceptional for skin

A natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin.

MGO 519+ Therapeutic grade
Mānuka honey's potency comes from MGO — methylglyoxal — the compound that gives it its remarkable antibacterial strength. At MGO 519+, Golden Ora sits in therapeutic grade territory, well above what you'll find on supermarket shelves. That's what makes it effective on skin, not just a trend ingredient.
The Ritual
Spread 1 teaspoon onto clean skin.
Leave for 15–30 minutes.
Rinse with warm water.
A few minutes, a teaspoon of honey, and skin that feels different by morning.
He taonga nō te whenua A gift from the land
Golden Ora comes from my whānau whenua, the ancestral lands of my Māori family, in Pōtaka on the East Cape of Aotearoa. It is one of the most remote and pristine mānuka regions in the world, and the first place on earth to greet the sun each morning. Fresh spring water, thriving mānuka forests, daily rainbows. My family has called this land home for at least five generations, and every jar of Golden Ora begins here.
Why Golden Ora Exists
I couldn't find high-MGO raw East Cape mānuka honey in a glass jar, at a price that felt fair, made by people connected to the land. So I made it myself. — Founder, Golden Ora
