Mānuka Honey Grade in Skincare

Mānuka Honey Grade in Skincare

Why We Chose Different MGO Levels

Mānuka honey forms the functional foundation of our skincare formulations.

Because MGO levels determine activity, each grade delivers a distinct level of skin-supportive performance. Not every skin concern benefits from maximum potency.

For this reason, our collections are developed with a specific MGO grade, intentionally selected to align with defined skin goals and deliver optimized results.

What Does MGO Mean in Skincare?

MGO, or methylglyoxal, is the naturally occurring compound that gives mānuka honey its distinctive activity. The higher the MGO rating, the greater the concentration and potency.

In skincare, MGO supports:

  • Skin barrier integrity
  • Visible renewal
  • Intensive nourishment
  • Deep restoration

Rather than applying a single universal grade across every formulation, we take an intentional approach. Each MGO level is carefully chosen to target specific skin goals and deliver measurable performance.

Why We Choose Different MGO Grades

Skin changes. Seasons change. Needs evolve.

Using one universal MGO level would mean over-formulating for some skin types and under-delivering for others.

Instead, we chose:

Intentional formulation creates better results.

Is mānuka honey good for skin?

Yes, mānuka honey is widely recognized for its skin-supportive properties. It helps maintain hydration, supports the skin barrier, and promotes a visibly smoother and healthier-looking complexion. Because of its naturally occurring MGO content, mānuka honey offers enhanced activity compared to regular honey, making it especially beneficial in targeted skincare formulations.

What does MGO mean in skincare?

MGO stands for methylglyoxal, a naturally occurring compound found in mānuka honey. The MGO rating measures the concentration of this compound. In skincare, higher MGO levels indicate a more potent formulation, which may provide more intensive renewal and restorative support.

What MGO level is best for skincare?

The best MGO level depends on your skin goals.

Daily MGO 400+ is ideal for maintaining balance, supporting the skin barrier, and everyday nourishment.

Ultra MGO 800+ is better suited for intensive renewal, visible rejuvenation, and deeper restoration, especially for those concerned with fine lines or environmental stress.

Choosing the right grade ensures your skin receives targeted support without unnecessary intensity.
