Reasons to Invest
First MGO honey-based wound dressing patented formulations with anticipated FDA microbial claim
Our advanced wound care dressings will address the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis
Our bioactive buckwheat honey products promote faster and healthier healing
Bringing faster healthier healing to all
Invest in SanMelix
Using the natural healing properties of Buckwheat honey, combined with our advanced bioactive enhancements, SanMelix has created a product that aids in the healing of acute, chronic and minor wounds. With IP protection on our BEECure™ M dressing and other pending patents, co-created by a renowned Harvard trained podiatric physician, SanMelix's advanced bioactive wound care products can be used in a host of settings and situations. We have created over-the-counter (OTC) skin care products such as ointments and creams designed to help in the healing of minor burns, scrapes, radiodermatitis and more. Our products will also be used for advanced wound care in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, by physicians through the use of dressings and ointments.
We have a talented and world-renowned physician group who puts patient care first. Our goal is to improve the lives of patients and help speed up the healing process using the natural therapeutic properties that already exist in buckwheat honey. Honey has been used in medicine since 8000 BC because of its unique healing properties and with our team of doctors and scientists, we have enhanced it through the use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials. Dr. Sabacinski developed the BEECure™ dressings to help prevent the dangerous side effects and adverse drug interactions that often arise with the use of predominantly synthetic pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Sabacinski has been working in the wound care space for over thirty years, and he knows the patients’ needs for a product that encourages fast wound closure and provides protection from bacteria and infection. Our mission at SanMelix is to help people. We want to give caregivers, physicians, and the general public the ability to heal wounds using a natural product that’s been used for centuries. At SanMelix, the proof is in our buckwheat honey.
With the funds raised through StartEngine, we plan to complete the testing on our products as well as prepare inventory. Our first product launch will be our OTC cosmetic line. We have an agreement with a European company to license or purchase the CE Marked formulation for our first buckwheat honey skin care product and will use the funds to help complete this arrangement.
The entire population requires wound care
- The global bioactive wound care market in 2018 was 8.38 billion and is projected to reach $13.5 billion by 2026
- 50 million people annually are affected by hard to close wounds
- Chronic wounds affect over 5.7 million patients in the U.S. alone and are estimated to cost $20 billion annually, thus impacting the market growth positively
- Due to Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) 700,000+ people die globally, and it’s projected to increase to 10 million people per year by 2050
- Everyday people require wound care therapies for minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and rashes
But synthetic wound care products have issues
- Potentially dangerous side effects can occur from entirely synthetic wound care products
- There are environmental consequences to the manufacturing of chemical based products
- There are multi drug resistant super infections such as MRSA and A. baumannii
- Skin grafts and skin substitutes require repeated application
- There are few effective therapies for radiotherapy, laser therapy and minor thermal burns
- Often severe wounds can result in amputations
Using natural products we can solve them
- Our BEECure™ M (buckwheat honey MGO) patented formulation reduces microbial growth and provides a barrier to prevent life threatening bacteria (MRSA) from penetrating the dressing
- Case studies using BEECure ™ M illustrated accelerated healing and skin regeneration on severe limb threatening wounds
- Need for fewer applications of skin grafts and skin substitute when honey dressings are applied to graft
- Buckwheat honey reduces scarring and inflammation related to radiotherapy, laser therapy and minor thermal burns
- SanMelix OTC buckwheat honey formulations would be considered a first aid antibiotic/antiseptic/antimicrobial to treat minor cuts, scrapes and burns
- Greener product in use and in manufacturing
We create products using Buckwheat Honey
We are focusing on the unique medicinal properties of Buckwheat Honey for tissue regeneration and accelerated healing. Our bioactive buckwheat honey formulations demonstrate intrinsic healing activity with anti-microbial additives to prevent infection. SanMelix has a patent on its BEECure™ M formulation and Dr. Sabacinski has co-invented 2 additional patent pending natural Buckwheat Honey BEECure™ medical devices which also demonstrated superior clinical outcomes. Studies have proven that buckwheat honey has superior medicinal properties to Manuka honey and other natural remedies. Our products also have higher standardization and broader spectrum anti-microbial activity achieving consistent clinical outcomes. Buckwheat honey also has higher anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities than other products currently being used.
The anti-oxidant properties in Buckwheat honey assist in wound closure and help to stimulate the wound healing process. This means wounds are healing faster and better without the risk of further complications that could be a great hindrance to the lives of patients. Our Buckwheat honey patented formulation creates a microbial barrier to prevent life-threatening bacteria from penetrating through the dressing while it is in use. The nutrients in the honey help spur tissue regeneration because it contains large quantities of easily assailable sugars, amino acids, vitamins, specifically vitamin C. Our products are made to heal chronic and difficult to close wounds.
Our Products in Use
Our BEECure™ products can be used for a wide variety of skin irritations and advanced wound care. Because of the antimicrobial claim in our wound care dressings, they will be instrumental in the treatment and healing of:
- Ulcers, diabetic and otherwise
- Skin grafts
- Burns
- Trauma and triage
- And more!
Previously we were working in tandem with Trauma insight, who formed a CRADA with the Airforce to perform the 510(k) performance and microbial barrier testing. Due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) our biocompatibility testing with the Air Force was postponed after the Air Force had completed some of the initial in vitro 510(k) testing. We are establishing relationships with additional GLP testing facilities to conduct the remaining 510(k) testing. Once we receive our FDA pre-market clearance, we anticipate working with Trauma Insight as our CRO for clinical trials.
The advanced wound care BEECure™ M dressing is currently in the testing phase. The radiodermatitis cream is in the testing phase and anticipated to launch in Q4, 2020. All other products have not yet been developed.

The difference is in the ingredients
Although manuka honey is the most commonly used honey-based wound treatment on the market, studies have shown that buckwheat honey has superior inherent healing properties when compared to manuka honey due to its higher anti-inflammatory and higher anti-oxidant activities. In addition, SanMelix’s advanced wound care products have been fortified with antimicrobials to ensure a higher standardized and broader spectrum antibacterial activity. Our patented formulation utilized in our AWC dressings permits SanMelix to launch one of the first bioactive honey dressing to make an antimicrobial claim in the U.S. Our honey dressing is currently in development.. Our bioactive dressing will be for any wound type of any depth and severity. The dressing will prevent biofilms from forming, control wound odor, reduce pain and treatment time while being cost-effective and more environmentally sound.
Additionally, there will be improved skin and tissue regeneration and debriding action. This prevents the necessity for excess skin grafts or skins substitutes, which run the added risk of infection or rejection. Studies have shown buckwheat honey has bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
The bottom line is that our enhanced Buckwheat honey dressings and ointments are making the lives of patients and doctors easier. We are here to assist in the healing process and make a painful experience as painless as possible. We have seen firsthand the need for such products as the ones we've been creating and know that our BEECure™ products are going to be a big step forward in changing the lives of many.
Natural ingredients that reduce inflammation and rehydrate your skin
Securing powerful partnerships
Through our previous collaboration with our Contract Research Organization, Trauma Insight, we were able to establish a collaboration with the Air Force in order to conduct preclinical research that supported the 510(k) product testing. Some of our in-vitro testing was completed in November 2019; however, due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), the remaining 510(k) testing was postponed by the Air Force. We are establishing relationships with additional GLP testing facilities to complete our 510(k) pre-market clearance testing.
We are looking to continue testing our advanced wound care products to obtain 510(k) pre-market clearance from the FDA and to continue prosecuting our other two patent pending formulation applications. We have an agreement with a European company to distribute its existing buckwheat honey CE Mark products for radio-dermatitis and laser therapy induced skin reactions and secure our main authentic raw buckwheat honey supplier.
On top of this, we are negotiating with other GMPs to contract manufacture our skin care products. We will continue to test, research and expand our products utilizing world renown physicians and scientists.
We are thrilled about all that lies ahead for the SanMelix team and the effect our nature-based products will have on healing.
