Sell Out Purified Bee Venom Range Available in NZ

Manuka Doctor a unique skincare range containing Purified Bee Venom which sold out in the United Kingdom within the first three weeks of being launched is now available in New Zealand.

The Purified Bee Venom range is the result of a patented purification process that removes any unwanted particles after it has been collected from the bees.

Manuka Doctor Vice President, Nicola Macfarlane, said there had been unprecedented demand for the product range when it was launched in the United Kingdom late last year.

Already dubbed ‘nature’s alternative to botox’ Purified Bee Venom has a considerable body of science behind it with international research showing the many benefits that could be derived from applying it to the skin.

“Purified Bee Venom can provide anti-bacterial, anti-wrinkle and cell regenerating benefits which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars.”

“The range has also undergone rigorous, independent dermatological testing in Germany.”

When applied to the skin, Purified Bee Venom encourages the body to react in a similar way to as if it had been lightly stung, increasing the amount of blood to the affected area therefore stimulating collagen growth and cell renewal. This helps counter wrinkle formation and reduces fine lines.

Purified Bee Venom has also been shown in clinical trials to significantly reduce the amount of common bacteria found on the skin aiding the treatment and prevention of acne and reduce the appearance of scarring. Products in the range have also been found to have anti-inflammatory benefits when applied to the skin.
