Korean honey — produced raw and unheated by the beekeepers of Jeolla — contains an exceptional concentration of living enzymes (glucose oxidase), polyphenolic antioxidants and humectant sugars. Applied to the skin, it forms a nourishing hydrating film that repairs the barrier and gives a silky glow finish.

Mécanisme
Action moléculaire
Honey is a humectant: it draws water from the atmosphere toward the skin. The polyphenols (chrysin, pinobanksin) are antioxidants. Glucose oxidase produces hydrogen peroxide in tiny quantities — hence the antibacterial effect without irritation. The slow sugars nourish the skin microbiome.
Origine et tradition
Du palais aux laboratoires
Honey has been part of Korean cuisine and medicine since the Goguryeo kingdom (37 BCE). Under Joseon, raw honey was a royal gift. The king's concubines applied it as a mask three times a week — one of the most documented secrets of the palace. Today, the Jeolla beekeepers still work according to the ancient methods.
