Supercharged Olive Oil
Infusing olive oil with honey creates a powerful substance that deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin.
The infusion process allows the olive oil to 'suck up' the benefits of the honey without any stickiness on the skin.
3 Month Infusion Period (At Least)
Like all infusions at VILES, we ensure a 3 month time period has elapsed. This is more than enough time for the base olive oil to soak up all the goodness of honey.
Manuka, Queen of Honey
Our UMF 15+ manuka honey is highly prized for its powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties, making it superior to regular honey.
It is derived from the nectar of the Manuka flower, commonly known as the Manuka bush, which grows in New Zealand and parts of Australia.
