Bee Propolis

Product: Bee Propolis Extract (alcohol free)


Buzz: Propolis is collected from trees by bees from trees combined with beeswax to form a resin that is used to protect the hive. It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and has anti-oxidant and healing properties thought to aid in tissue repair and skin cell regeneration.


Initial Impressions: Brown liquid that comes is a glass bottle with a dropper. It smells sweet like honey and has a strong taste like a brandy. Applying a few drops directly over night cream, I noticed it blended well and added a bit of color.


Review: I like this stuff. It adds a boost of nutrient to my regular night cream, promotes healing and is protective against acne. The natural soft glow of a summer tan is an added benefit.


Cautions: Avoid if you have allergies to bee products. Propolis also it stains fabrics.


Cost: $10 - 20 (30 ml)


Available: Health food stores or on-line


Great with: Colostrum cream, rosehip oil (Chile) and sweet orange essential oil.
