Why Propolis in your Skincare?
Propolis, or bee glue, is a natural resin honey bees produce with their saliva and enzymes to protect their hives. It's a powerful ingredient packed with amino acids, minerals, sugars, vitamins B, C and E, and antioxidants like flavonoids. Our Barrier Repair Face Serum harnesses the essence of propolis to deliver a multitude of benefits:
Hydrates and Plumps: Propolis is a natural humectant that helps lock in moisture, keeping your skin hydrated, plump, and glowing.
Helps in Treating Acne: The ethanol extract in propolis combats cutibacterium acnes, a bacteria known for triggering acne. Traces of caffeine,
benzoic and cinnamic acids found in propolis further disrupt the bacteria’s
membranes treating acne.
Strengthens Skin Barrier: Rich in natural flavonoids like quercetin and antibacterial properties, propolis helps fortify your skin's natural barrier, protecting it from environmental aggressors.
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Rich in flavonoids that neutralise free radicals
and stimulate the growth of the skin-firming collagen protein, propolis also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Combats Hyperpigmentation: Targeting the 3 main reasons for skin discolouration - inflammation, free radical damage and melanin production, propolis further helps combat hyperpigmentation. It blocks the growth of a certain fungus that triggers melanin production leading to dark patches on the skin.
UV Protection: With caffeic, coumaric, and ferulic acids
absorbing UV light, propolis forms a natural barrier against sun damage

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Barrier Repair Face Serum ?
Apply the serum on clean skin. Gently massage it into your skin using your fingertips in circular movements. You can use it in the morning and/or at night as part of your daily skincare routine for best results.
Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin ?
Yes, our Barrier Repair Face Serum is formulated to be gentle and soothing, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The inclusion of Propolis and Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm and heal the skin.
However, we recommend a patch test and consult a physician on any signs of irritation.

Absolutely. Propolis has antibacterial properties that can help reduce acne and prevent future breakouts. Our serum is lightweight and has a non-greasy formula, perfect for acne-prone skin.
How long will it take to see results ?
While some users may notice immediate improvements in hydration and radiance, significant changes such as reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation may take a few weeks of consistent use. We recommend continued use of a minimum of 8 weeks to see noticeable results.
Can I use this serum with other skincare products ?
Yes, our Barrier Repair Face Serum can be incorporated into your existing skincare routine. However, for best results, apply it on clean skin and follow with your favourite moisturiser and other treatments.
Do I need to apply sunscreen after using this serum ?
Yes, it’s always recommended to apply sunscreen during the day, even if you are using our serum. While the serum provides some protection against UV-induced damage, sunscreen is essential for comprehensive protection against harmful UV rays. You can use our SPF 50 Sunscreen infused with the goodness of propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, honey and niacinamide for excellent results.
Are your products gender-neutral?
Absolutely! Our Barrier Repair Face Serum is suitable for all genders and skin types. Everyone can benefit from the hydrating, protective, and rejuvenating properties of Propolis and our other powerful ingredients.
Can I combine propolis with other skincare ingredients, like retinol or vitamin C ?
Yes! Propolis can complement other ingredients in your routine:
Retinol: Propolis may help reduce the irritation and dryness sometimes caused by retinol while boosting its anti-ageing effects.
Vitamin C: Both propolis and vitamin C are antioxidants that brighten skin. Together, they can work effectively to target dark spots and discolouration.
Is it safe to use propolis with AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids)?
While generally safe to use together, we recommend a patch test before incorporating both propolis and AHAs as they are active ingredients. This helps ensure your skin tolerates them well together.
Can propolis cause skin irritation?
Propolis, in high concentrations, can sometimes cause itching, tingling, or even burning sensations. However, our barrier repair face serum uses a low propolis content, making it less likely to irritate your skin.
