To all our users of the Comvita Skintensive and Lipclear creams, we unfortunately have to report that this are no longer available. Although they have been popular among those of you who use them, overall they have not been selling enough to make it worthwhile for Comvita to keep supplying them.
Also with the Skintensive cream there is quite a bit of similarity with the Medihoney branded Derma Cream. So for most cases, if you have been using and liked the skintensive cream, you will find that the Medihoney Derma Cream is going to be just as good.
For fans of the Lipclear cream, then our suggested alternative for giving great moisturising and healing to your lips would actually be to use the Pot of Gold Skin Balm. This beeswax based balm is very nourishing when used on your lips, and the propolis within it provides some healing properties too. As a bonus it is a really great multi-purpose balm that you can use on a range of things, from small cuts and burns, to rashes on your skin. You should find that this is more useful for you.
You can see the Pot of Gold Skin Balm here.

New Blackcurrant Lozenges - we have them now
Somewhat appropriately at this time given the current cold snap, there is a new flavour of weapon you can use to fight any sore throat or cough:
Blackcurrant and Manuka Honey Lozenges.
Complimenting the propolis lozenge range (but these do not contain propolis), the newly available Blackcurrant Lozenges combine the power of Blackcurrants with UMF10+ manuka honey to provide a great tasting lozenge for soothing your throat.
Blackcurrants are known for their good levels of vitamin C and antioxidant properties, whilst the UMF10+ manuka honey has scientifically proven antibacterial properties, and is used by many people to fight against tricky coughs and sore throats.
This is a great tasting lozenge (ok, we all have different taste buds, and no doubt some of you will not like blackcurrant, but it's a pleasant flavour for many).
We have them in stock now - available both in the shop and via the website:

Follow up on new ManukaCare
Just to follow up on our last post about the new tubes of the popular Comvita Manukacare that are now available.
It has now gained a license as a medical device (in the UK).
Comvita Manukacare now carries a CE mark. (number 0805). This indicates its regulation status as a medical device and behind each one of these marks is technical agreement necessary to manufacture the product to the required standard.
The new version does still contain UMF rated manuka honey. This is not shown on the pack as it now has a medical devices license for this product which now allows greater claims as to the ability of the product to be stated. For example we can now claim 'first aid ready', 'suitable for most wound types' and 'reduces the risk of infection from bacteria including MRSA' (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - the nasty antibiotic resistant superbug). You will see these now mentioned on the packaging.
