Organic or not?
There is often an expectation that natural products should not only contain natural, usually plant based ingredients, but also be certified organic.
While the majority of the ingredients we use to formulate our products are grown and produced in New Zealand, they are not able to always be totally organic.
A case in point is our Manuka honey which is included in many of our products. While this honey is produced from bee hives in remote areas which are not sprayed with chemicals or top dressed with artificial fertilizers, the honey bees can range up to 20km, (about 15 miles) from the hive and it is not possible to say with certainty where they gathered the nectar from.
Likewise, our Manuka oil is produced from the same areas and while these areas are not subjected to sprays or fertilizers, we prefer to use the term ‘wild harvested’ rather than organic.
Genetically Modified or not?
We do not use any GM (genetically modified) products or ingredients in any of our formulations, the vast majority of New Zealanders are totally against the practice of genetic modification of plants or animals and we at Manuka Natural Ltd. strictly adhere to this philosophy with everything we use and create for our customers around the world.
