Propolis Cream

10% Propolis extract in a natural vegetable sorbolene base - rich in propolis but light in texture - suitable for body and face.

Propolis is the adhesive resinous compound produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera).  The ethanol extract (tincture) of propolis is a rich source of antioxidants, flavonoids and phenolic compounds to reduce free radical damage to body cells and support immune system health.

Traditional Use: People have used propolis as a medicine since the year 300 BC. Ancient Egyptians used propolis for embalming, and some doctors used it during World War II to help with wound healing.

A credible 2019 review suggests that propolis extract may have the following properties:

• antibacterial
• antifungal
• antiviral
• antiprotozoal, which means that it works against parasitic illnesses, such as giardiasis
• anti-inflammatory
• antioxidant

We recommend using the cream generally as a natural moisturiser and vitamins packed, skin clearing rejuvenator, or locally, to areas of mild infections, small cuts or to stimulate healing.
