2 of nature’s most powerful skincare ingredients

Bees don’t just give us honey, they also give us two of the most nourishing, skin-loving ingredients in beauty products that soothe, protect and heal the skin … we’re talking about beeswax and propolis. Today, science is catching up to what ancient apothecaries already knew: bee products are potent allies for healthier, more resilient skin, especially when it comes to moisturisers. If beeswax is the protector, propolis is the powerful healer.

Sometimes referred to as “bee glue”, propolis is a resin-like substance bees create by mixing tree sap with natural enzymes. In the hive, it sterilises and seals, keeping invaders out and maintaining harmony within. On the skin, it behaves just as intelligently.
