When deciding on where to buy active Manuka honey, it is important to know that you are getting a quality product.  Not all Manuka honey is the same.  Some brands are better than others.  Some Manuka honey is active and others inactive.  Some brands are more truthful about the potency levels indicated on their label than others.  Some brands have even been known to adulterate the honey by heating it, forcing the potency levels to appear to be higher.  Some brands have been known to blend Manuka honey with less expensive honey in an effort to increase their profit margins.  These are all things to take into consideration before placing your order.  

There are trademarks exist that are usually represented by three letter acronyms.  The owners of these trademarks may publish press releases indicating that Manuka honey labels that don’t bear their trademark cannot be trusted.  They may try to make consumers believe that their trademark ensures quality.  This is mostly advertising hype.  

The best way to determine whether or not a particular Manuka honey brand is selling a quality product is to inquire if they perform a laboratory analysis on the honey to determine its potency.  Reputable companies will be willing to provide a Certificate of Analysis from a third-party lab.  It’s also a good idea to read reviews of customers who have used a particular product.  Most reviews are usually pretty truthful. The internet allows consumers plenty of chances to voice their opinions.  

It is generally accepted that active Manuka honey is more effective than inactive Manuka honey.  However, it is important to know that in the U.S., the FDA doesn’t consider honey of any kind to be an active ingredient.  Therefore, you might notice that Manuka honey is listed in the inactive ingredient list if you’re reading the label of a Manuka honey skin care product.  You can always check with the manufacturer to get clarification on the potency level of the Manuka honey in their products.  

Most people who buy active Manuka honey use it for internal purposes.  For individuals interested in taking advantage of Manuka honey’s benefits on the skin, it’s better to use skin care products containing Manuka honey.  Otherwise, application of the honey to the skin can turn into a sticky mess.  Quality Manuka honey skin care products are equally as effective as applying pure Manuka honey to the skin.  Therefore, there is no real benefit to putting up with the stickiness.
