Raw honey is not a cosmetic ingredient. It is a living biological system. At V Réserve, our honey is never pasteurized, chemically treated, filtered, or exposed to high heat. These common industrial processes may standardize raw materials, but they compromise biological activity.
Heat and filtration deactivate enzymes, reduce antioxidant capacity, and strip away micronutrients essential to skin function. We preserve our honey in its unaltered state so its full biological intelligence remains intact and active on the skin. Clinically, raw honey has been shown to support skin repair, barrier recovery, microbiome balance, and oxidative defense.
These benefits are attributed to its naturally occurring enzymes, organic acids, polyphenols, amino acids, and antimicrobial compounds. When honey is processed, many of these elements are degraded or lost.
Preserved correctly, raw honey functions as a biologically active participant rather than a passive humectant.
What makes V Réserve honey unique begins at the hive. Our bees forage in environments intentionally cultivated with bioactive botanicals, allowing the natural chemistry of these plants to shape the honey itself. This complexity is not added later through extracts or infusions, but created naturally through the intelligence of the ecosystem, season after season."
High-performance biotech actives formulated to support repair, resilience, and long-term skin vitality.
Raw, unheated honey from our own hives, preserved to protect its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and bioactives.
