made with 800+ MGO Manuka honey. This wonderful honey has amazing
characteristics when used on wounds, burns, ulcers and other conditions
where skin integrity is compromised. Apart from the amazing super-bug
fighting capacity of this honey, the key to which is the methylglyoxal (MGO)

the capacity to reduce scarring.
