용도
honey is said to be soothing, softening, and moisturizing. Masks and other cosmetic preparations containing honey create a watertight film on the face and permit the skin to rehydrate itself. Strong anti-bacterial and immunological properties are attributed to honey. Its use in cosmetics can be traced back at least to ancient egypt and Cleopatra. Honey is composed of a variety of sugars, wax, and other substances, including gluconic, citric, malic, formic, and lactic acids; beta-carotene; enzymes; amino acids; and vitamins. It is a saccharic secretion produced enzymatically from flower nectar that is gathered and stored in honeycombs by honeybees. Honey may cause an allergic reaction in people allergic to pollen.
