OTHER INGREDIENTS & EXTRACTS
In addition to the essential oils & beautiful plant oils, we use a number of other key natural ingredients & extracts to enhance the active properties and texture of Miód products. Our extracts are the latest technology of cellular extraction where the plant matix is duplicated exactly in a plant based glycerin. It is done through a cold process where as traditionally it is done through heat potentially destroying some of the plants essential properties. This gives you a bioactive extract that is essentially a duplicate of the plant itself, giving you a more active & effective ingredient.
