Why Kanuka Honey

While many people are familiar with mānuka honey, fewer know about its close New Zealand relative, kanuka honey. Produced from the nectar of the native kanuka tree, kanuka honey has long been valued for its skin-friendly qualities and traditional use in New Zealand.

At Honey Tree, we chose kanuka honey because it complements our sanitiser formula, helping to create a product that is gentle enough for frequent everyday use while helping keep hands feeling soft and hydrated.

Although mānuka often receives the spotlight, kanuka honey has developed a reputation of its own and is increasingly recognised for its unique qualities. Native to New Zealand and harvested from one of our country's most iconic flowering trees, kanuka honey is at the heart of what makes Honey Tree different.

At Honey Tree, we believe effective hand hygiene shouldn't come at the expense of healthy, comfortable skin. That's why we've chosen to enrich our hand sanitiser range with New Zealand kanuka honey, alongside aloe vera and other skin-conditioning ingredients.

What is Kanuka Honey?

Kanuka honey is produced by bees that gather nectar from the flowers of the native New Zealand kanuka tree (Kunzea ericoides). Closely related to mānuka, kanuka honey has long been valued for its natural antibacterial and skin-soothing properties.
