From sweetening desserts to nourishing skin, honey has maintained its value through the ages. Its exceptional healing capabilities make it a favored ingredient in home remedies.
Honey’s nutritional wealth includes minerals like calcium, sodium, and phosphate, as well as vitamins B3, B5, and B6. It also contains trace amounts of zinc, iodine, and copper.
Honey is a powerful skincare ingredient, especially in face masks. It deeply nourishes, combats wrinkles, and offers anti-aging benefits.
Moreover, its moisture-retaining properties leave skin soft, supple, elastic, and smooth, while its antioxidants shield against UV damage.
