Propolis ointment

Yes, our ointment is actually an oleogel. An oleogel is a care product made on the basis of lipids (fats), which is thickened in its consistency like a gel and is anhydrous. In contrast to emulsions, skin moisture increases slowly when oleogels are used. In contrast to emulsions, no water is supplied from the outside and the increase in skin moisture can only take place from inside the skin. The lipids in oleogels support this process by reducing transepidermal water loss. In addition, natural, moisture-binding substances can also be integrated into oleogels. The high fat content of the products results in an optimal reduction in skin roughness and our active ingredients can ideally develop their effect.

The propolis ointment is suitable for all skin types. Since it is naturally very rich, we do not recommend using it on whole parts of the body, but only on particularly stressed areas of the skin.

Our skin is put to the test every day: summer heat, heating air, harmful environmental influences, injuries or heavy loads. Often our skin punishes us with, for example rough Elbows or dry skin. Our propolis ointment is ideal for these particularly stressed areas of the skin and helps Skin, yourself to regenerate.

Our PureBee Propolis ointment is a cosmetic product and not a medical product. The ointment has no medical approval and has not undergone any medical approval tests. Therefore we cannot and do not want to make any statements about the effect of the ointment on wounds or pathological skin changes.

Our propolis ointment has a propolis content of over 5%.

Unfortunately, propolis is naturally not soluble in water or fat. In order to be able to use it in our cosmetics, it must first be dissolved in alcohol. We sometimes hear from customers: "Why do all of your products contain alcohol?" and that is exactly the reason. There is no such thing as propolis without alcohol. Since the propolis ointment is not used on whole parts of the body such as the face, the high alcohol content is by no means harmful or drying out on the skin and is compensated in our formula by the nourishing properties of other ingredients. In addition, alcohol is of vegetable origin, which is very important to us.

From time to time you can also find "alcohol-free" propolis tinctures online. Unfortunately, this is only half the truth. While the product does not contain the drinking alcohol (ethanol) known to us, in most cases propylene glycol, a polyhydric alcohol, is the main ingredient. This is made synthetically and as for the skin questionable classified. Therefore we prefer to stick to the classic propolis tincture with real alcohol, which grandmother already used :-)

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; when we smell, then only with essential oils or natural aromas. Since our propolis ointment is intended for particularly stressed skin areas, we do not add any fragrances to it. 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. We primarily smell the propolis in our propolis ointment, someone else may recognize the beeswax or jojoba oil.
