PRODUCTS FOR HEALTH and WELLNESS

Hyaluronic Acid for Beautiful Skin
Several studies suggest that HA, when used topically and orally, is distributed throughout the tissues, including the skin. While our bodies produce hyaluronic acid naturally, the topical and oral use of HA is said to provide moisture and anti-aging benefits.

Black Seed for Health and Beauty
With a light scent and consistency, our editorial team was especially impressed with the body care products by Amazing Herbs. We can highly recommend the Black Seed Moisturizing Honey Shampoo and the Henna & Amla Conditioner for everyone looking to achieve soft, weightless hair this summer. We simply loved the light and delicious fragrance of the conditioner. Black Seed oil has been used for hundreds of years. In ancient Egypt, the golden oil pressed from the black cumin seed was named “Pharaoh’s Oil” and was used to nourish the skin and hair. It’s a rich source of EFAs and antioxidants that also help nourish and rejuvenate the skin.

Raw Honey and Elderberry Cough Syrup
How can medicine taste this good? Raw honey has been used for generations to soothe sore throats and calm coughs. Recent clinical studies support this honey-based remedy. Elderberry is known to improve the immune system and also aid with coughs and colds. Smiley Apiari combined elderberry powder (made from elderberry juice) with a blend of dark honey varieties to create an all-natural and chemical-free product with a dark purple color and a pleasant fruity flavor.

CBD for Anxiety, Stress, and Pain Relief
With the flood of CBD products on the market, we have asked our friends at Simply Natural Health Food Store in Panama City to let us know which products they recommend. They like the topicals, tinctures, and gummies by cbdMD,
a company that follows
the highest manufacturing standards with all products third-party tested in ISO-certified labs.

Manuka Honey

The rich flavor of Manuka honey—we love it. But this tasty treat, which is produced in New Zealand and Australia, is also known for its antibacterial properties. The 2017 study “Health Benefits of Manuka Honey as an Essential Constituent for Tissue Regeneration” by Kamal Niaz et al. concluded: “In addition to bacterial growth inhibition, glyoxal (GO) and MGO from Manuka honey can enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration by their immunomodulatory property. Further studies are needed to provide detailed information about active components of Manuka honey and their potential efficacy in different diseases.” Those who aren’t waiting around for a study to confirm the health benefits can buy authentic Manuka honey at Simply Natural Health Food Store in Panama City.

Beeswax Hand Lotion

Made in Wewahitchka
Smiley Honey Apiari produces a selection of honey and honey-based beauty products, from Tupelo honey to beeswax balm and lotion. Apart from the selection of delicious honey, one of our favorite products is the Smiley Honey hand lotion that features a blend of pure beeswax and all-natural butters and oils. While it has a solid consistency, rub it over your hands and the heat from your skin will remove and absorb a small amount. Once massaged into the skin, the lotion will provide hours of soothing protection. A single bar will last for several months of regular use, according to the good people at Smiley Honey.
