Biosota Organics Wins the 2026 TREX Wellbeing Award

The Moodie Davitt Report has named Biosota's Certified Organic Manuka Honey MGO 1200+ Gift Box the Wellbeing category Winner in its 2026 TREX Awards, which recognise the world's finest travel retail-exclusive products.

Run by The Moodie Davitt Report, the TREX (travel retail-exclusive) Awards celebrate products and collaborations that deliver unique, channel-specific value to travellers worldwide. Judges described the gift box as one of the best entries in this year's TREX Awards.

The recognition marks a milestone for our travel retail strategy. The gift box showcases the world's highest MGO-rated Certified Organic Manuka Honey, an ultra-rare expression of verified potency and purity, responsibly sourced from remote Australian forests and independently tested. It brings together scientific credibility, certified organic integrity and refined presentation in a single gifting format built for travel retail.

Premium Australian Manuka in travel retail

The gift box has been well received across leading travel retail locations, including Heinemann Tax & Duty Free at Sydney Airport, BKB Duty Free at Incheon Airport, IPP Travel Retail in Vietnam, and Lotte Duty Free at Brisbane and Melbourne airports. The result reflects growing international appetite for premium Australian Manuka honey within world-class gifting environments.

What the judges said

"In a health-conscious age, this is a brilliant and refined luxury gift, presented with all the panache and elegance you would expect of, say, a Louis Vuitton or Dior."

"What a beautiful product, the perfect healthy gift!"

"Presented in premium recyclable Miron violet glass within an elegant gift box exclusive to travel retail, each 500g jar is completed with a temperature-sensor lid for real-time monitoring and a premium honey dipper. Lovely touches."

Judges also highlighted the entry's circular packaging credentials, noting that the long-life, reusable Miron violet glass supports sustainable design principles, and recognised the journey from hive to customer as a harmony of nature and science that supports ethical beekeeping, ecosystem stewardship, and the preservation of grade and integrity at every stage.

Design, provenance and purity

Every element of the gift box was considered for both presentation and protection:

• Miron violet glass: premium, recyclable and reusable, supporting circular packaging.
• Temperature-sensor lid: real-time monitoring on every 500g jar.
• Premium honey dipper: a refined finishing touch to the gifting ritual.
• Certified organic, independently tested: verified potency and purity, sourced from remote Australian forests.

Elevating Australian Manuka honey on the world stage

Our core objective for 2025 was to elevate Certified Organic Manuka Honey MGO 1200+ into the world-class travel retail gifting category. Winning the Wellbeing category at the TREX Awards affirms that ambition. We are proud to see Australian Manuka honey recognised for its provenance, its science, and its place among the world's finest travel retail-exclusive products.
