Propolis is actually a product from bees. As bees travel from different plants to collect pollen, they also accumulate a resinous substance from plants; this substance is propolis, and it is sometimes referred to as “bee glue.”
In nature, propolis is an integral part of constructing beehives. Among many other things, it is used to seal holes and cracks, smooth the interior and regulate the temperature of the beehive.
In cosmetic products, propolis and its extracts are utilized because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Furthermore, it is also used in the treatment of various diseases because of these and other properties.
