Honey has long been lauded for its infinite potential. It is often referred to as “Mother Nature’s liquid gold”, as it can help address various skin issues such as acne, dryness, skin barrier repair, and uneven skin tone. While it’s now commonplace to spot honey in the beauty aisle, its properties have been comparatively overlooked in the treatment room – until now thanks to 3K+.

Not all honey is created equal though. Traditional Māori medicine used the mānuka plant, from which the 3K+ brand distils the oil directly, and it is widely regarded as the superior variety. Scientific research has validated its intrinsic antibacterial properties, which is why it’s often used in medical settings to help treat wounds. The proven efficacy of the mānuka oil in prep and post-treatment recovery is one of the many reasons the 3K+ brand was developed.

The 3K+ difference

Developed in partnership with appearance medicine practitioners, 3K+ products are designed to support clinical treatments and enhance patient outcomes.

A series of discoveries have revealed that mānuka oil contains highly concentrated levels of active compounds called β-triketones. Through intensive research and development, 3K+ further enhanced these actives to their most potent essence and combined them with highly efficacious compounds to create synergistic pairings starting with ECMT-154.

The benefits

Guided by esteemed cosmetic formulator Merve Samur, 3K+ have formulated a line of solutions that deliver better results for practitioners and patients alike.

Extremely versatile: From acne to eczema, ECMT-154 is highly effective in treating a range of common skin conditions.

Scientifically backed: When it comes to skin health, the proof is in the science. With over 1,000 scientific papers and studies on East Cape mānuka oil, and their own research division, 3K+ is committed to exploring the ingredient to further advance skin health.

Acne-fighting: ECMT-154 Gel fights bacteria linked to skin and wound infections, as well as acne, surpassing traditional treatments like Benzac and Clearasil.

Sensitive skin-friendly: For clients with sensitive or sensitised skin, 3K+ is an equally effective yet gentle solution than the existing alternatives on the market. Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing with 50 people showed that ECMT-154TM Gel is hypoallergenic and skin compatible.

Farm to face: Consumer demand for natural skincare is reflected in the year on year growth of the natural skincare market. 3K+ is rooted in nature, powered by East Cape mānuka oil and complementary actives for superior performance.

Sustainable and ethically minded: 3K+’s sustainably grown oil provides employment and profitable land use for local iwi. All ingredients are ethically sourced, sustainably produced, safe and cruelty free.

Easy to use and cost effective: Instead of using a separate bottle for each customer, the hand pump is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. With each use, expect to pay approximately $0.30 vs $7.
