Skin Benefits

• Antibacterial & microbiome-supportive: Mānuka oil contains unique triketones like leptospermone, flavesone, and isoleptospermone, which exhibit strong antimicrobial action. These help balance the skin’s microbiome and reduce acne-causing bacteria without disrupting healthy flora.

• Wound-healing: Mānuka oil may stimulate skin regeneration and soothe irritation, helping speed the recovery of abrasions, insect bites, and other minor skin injuries.

Muscle & Joint Benefits

• Anti-inflammatory: Reduces swelling, stiffness, and discomfort in sore muscles and joints.

• Antimicrobial for massage: Its ability to reduce microbial load makes it ideal for massage on skin prone to inflammation or infection.

Synergy
