Propolis Extract

Science & Benefits

Propolis is a resinous mixture collected by honeybees from tree buds and sap. It is a powerhouse for acne-prone skin due to its natural flavonoid content, which provides potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. In skincare, it helps inhibit the growth of C. acnes bacteria while simultaneously accelerating the healing process of active lesions. As a humectant, it is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish the skin without clogging pores. While extremely beneficial, it carries a small risk of contact allergy in those sensitive to bee products. For most, it acts as a soothing, anti-inflammatory 'liquid gold' that balances the skin's microbiome.
