First Impressions
The monthly Beauty Heroes delivery comes in a white box with a red-dotted sticker sealing it. Inside, our products of the month fit perfectly with the brown crinkle paper needed for it to arrive safely.
ACTIVIST is a Mānuka honey–based wellness brand from Aotearoa, New Zealand that bridges beauty and internal wellbeing through one powerhouse ingredient. Their raw, wildcrafted Mānuka honey is harvested seasonally and celebrated for its natural enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants. ACTIVIST carries products both ingestible and topical, and today we're of course focusing on two topical beauty products.
This suggested ritual starts with our new ACTIVIST Mānuka honey mask and then walks us through a skin-loving process using products from previous boxes.
The Products
ACTIVIST Mānuka Green Botanical Body Oil, 100 ml - Retail Value $75
An oil so green it makes my green walls look shabby! This Raw Mānuka Oil Body Serum is a luxurious, omega-rich treatment that blends Mānuka oil with a lush mix of green botanicals to nourish and calm the skin year-round. Standout ingredients like blue tansy, rosehip, avocado, and kawakawa leaf extract deliver a soothing, antioxidant-rich experience, while olive-derived squalane helps lock in lasting hydration. Its naturally green, citrusy aroma—featuring Mānuka tree, tomato leaf, and fir balsam—leaves skin feeling supple, radiant, and softly scented. So many uses of Mānuka, I had no idea!
The citrusy fir scent is so good I want to drench myself in this stuff. It's a very absorbent oil, and I found that I needed to use lots of pumps to cover my legs; less when applying it to the more delicate skin of my chest and arms. Absolutely divine.
ACTIVIST Mānuka Honey Mask 850+ MGO, 80 ml - Retail Value $75
This Mānuka Honey Mask has a ton of buzz, and for good reason. It harnesses the unmatched healing power of 100% raw Mānuka honey to nourish, repair, and renew the skin. This golden multitasker can be used as a face mask, gentle cleanser, or spot treatment to deeply hydrate, calm inflammation, and encourage skin regeneration. Its rich MGO (methylglyoxal) content—a naturally occurring antibacterial compound unique to Mānuka honey—signals a high potency level, helping to clarify skin, support healing, and reveal a healthy, luminous glow. I had to research this a bit to understand it, but I already knew honey was an impressive substance, and this makes me even more amazed.
Okay, I find this mask intimidating. It's straight up honey. Have you ever rubbed pure, thick honey on your face before? I haven't, not because I think there's anything wrong with it, I just haven't had the urge to lean into that degree of gloopiness. Truth is, though, it feels like smoothing warm, golden nectar over your skin—it’s thick, aromatic, and melts into a dewy glaze as it warms on contact. After rinsing, my skin felt soft, calm, and hydrated, with that unmistakable post-mask glow except maybe better because pure Mānuka honey seems to deliver something nothing else can.
Verdict
This Beauty Heroes delivery featuring ACTIVIST has magic in it—the kind that makes people ask what you’re doing differently. Both the Raw Mānuka Oil Body Serum and the Mānuka Honey Mask are beautifully crafted, elemental treatments that feel indulgent yet grounding, straight from nature. They complement each other effortlessly: one for nourishing the body, the other for renewing the face. This box costs $58.95, and together these two products retail for $185—an incredible value from a brand that consistently overdelivers on purity and performance.
