Why Kānuka Honey

While mānuka honey is well known around the world, its close New Zealand cousin, kānuka honey, has been quietly earning a reputation of its own. Produced by bees collecting nectar from the flowers of the native kānuka tree (Kunzea ericoides), kanuka honey has long been appreciated here in New Zealand and is increasingly being used in skincare and personal care products.

At Honey Tree, we chose New Zealand kānuka honey because it fits naturally with what we're trying to achieve. We wanted to create a hand sanitiser that not only helps keep hands clean but also feels pleasant to use throughout the day.


What Is Kānuka Honey?

Kānuka honey is made from the nectar of the kanuka tree, a native New Zealand species found throughout the country. Kānuka has its own unique characteristics and place in New Zealand's natural landscape. For generations, kānuka has been valued by New Zealanders and is now finding its way into a growing range of skincare and personal care products thanks to its skin-friendly qualities.


Why We Use Kānuka Honey in Our Products

Let's be honest, most hand sanitisers do a great job killing germs and keeping hands clean. The challenge is that frequent use can sometimes leave hands feeling dry and uncomfortable. That's why we've combined New Zealand kānuka honey with aloe vera and glycerine to create a formula designed for everyday use. The result is a fast-drying, non-sticky sanitiser that leaves hands feeling clean, refreshed and cared for. From pocket-sized sprays to family refills and value bundles, Honey Tree makes it easy to keep hand hygiene close at hand, wherever life takes you.
