Oleogel skin care original

An oleogel is a water-free care product based on lipids (oils and fats). In contrast to emulsions (creams), the skin's moisture content increases slowly during application and no water is supplied from the outside. The increase in skin moisture occurs from within. The natural oils of the oleogel support this process by reducing the transepidermal water loss of the skin. The high fat content of our oleogels in combination with beeswax and propolis therefore cares for the skin sustainably and not only for a short time.

The oleogel is ideal for dry and very dry skin. Since it is naturally very rich, we do not recommend it for very oily skin. For combination skin, we would recommend applying it to the dry areas only. Since our original is unscented, it is particularly suitable for sensitive skin.

It depends on your skin type. We generally recommend using it in the evening, as the oleogel then has several hours to develop its effect. If you have very dry skin, you can also use the product in the morning and evening.

Pleasant scents are something really great! They give us a feeling of well-being, freshness and purity. At PureBee, we do not use artificial perfumes or fragrances in any of our products, and only use essential oils when we use them. But some people who tend to have very sensitive skin or who simply do not want to have any added fragrance in their care can fall back on our original products. These did not add any scents. But what do they smell like then? You could say "neutral", where we would always put it in quotation marks. They just smell of the individual ingredients and everyone interprets this smell a little differently. With our oleogel, we primarily smell the beeswax and propolis, someone else may recognize the jojoba oil.

No, our oleogel does not contain parabens or other preservatives. Since we designed our oleogel to be completely anhydrous, the protection that nature offers us is sufficient! Many of the ingredients naturally have slightly conserving properties, such as vitamin E or propolis tincture. The lack of water in the recipe also means that bacteria cannot multiply so easily, which makes the use of preservatives unnecessary.

Yes, the oleogel is much more liquid than you are used to from a "normal" cream, for example. That is also intentional. If we made it thicker, it would be much too rich for facial care and would look more like an ointment. In addition, the oleogel is, at least in terms of consistency, a little more sensitive to temperature than a "normal" cream. So it can be, for example, if the crucible is in your bathroom and it is warmer there or the crucible is even near the heater that the oleogel becomes more liquid. Therefore, it is best to avoid a location near the heater. If you don't mind a cool gel, you can also put it in the refrigerator, then it will be a little firmer. This can be very refreshing, especially in summer.
