Pure and effective

The honey in Revamil comes from bees kept under strictly controlled conditions, using a process developed at Wageningen University. This ensures the honey is pure and has a consistently high enzyme content. When it comes into contact with wound fluid, the enzyme glucose oxidase releases small amounts of hydrogen peroxide over a prolonged period, which has a disinfecting effect. Revamil Balm also forms a protective layer on the wound, providing long-term protection.

The (healing) power of honey

It's been known for centuries that honey helps wounds heal. But how this works has only become clearer in recent years. For example, a researcher at the AMC discovered that, besides the enzyme glucose oxidase, another substance in honey has antibacterial properties: Bee defensin-1, a protein naturally occurring in the immune system of bees. It's no coincidence that a recent official guideline recommends treating infected wounds with honey as an alternative to iodine.
