NATURE'S GOODNESS
INTRODUCTION TO HONEYBUSH
Honeybush (Cyclopia) is a paraben-free botanical ingredient derived from a South African indigenous plant native to the Cape region of South Africa. It is named for its naturally sweet, honey-like fragrance and is valued for its soothing and antioxidant properties.
Research on Cyclopia species has reported potential anti-wrinkle benefits. Studies indicate that Honeybush extract and fermented Honeybush may help reduce the appearance of UV-induced wrinkles, support the skin’s natural structure and help protect against collagen breakdown, highlighting its potential in anti-aging skincare.
