Traditional Use
Honey has been used as a skincare ingredient for at least 4,000 years in Egyptian, Greek, and Ayurvedic traditions as a humectant, antimicrobial, and wound healer. Hydrolyzed honey was developed in modern cosmetics to break down the complex sugars into smaller molecules for improved penetration and absorption.
