The Amazing Benefits of Honeybee Byproduts For Your Skin

Did you know that beekeepers can collect up to 60-80 pounds of honeybee byproducts per hive each year? Honeybee byproducts such as raw honey, beeswax, pollen, royal jelly, and propolis have amazing benefits for skin care. At Keepers Collective, we use these unique ingredients in all of our natural-pure skincare products. Let's take a closer look at some of the benefits they offer!

 

Beeswax

Beeswax has been used as an emollient since ancient Greek times. is a natural emollient that helps to retain moisture in the skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface that prevents dehydration and damage from environmental stressors, such as wind and pollution. Beeswax also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to soothe and heal skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne.

 

Pollen

Pollen is packed with vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes that can help reduce inflammation and nourish the skin. Its anti-bacterial properties help to protect against bacteria that cause breakouts or infections. Additionally, pollen helps stimulate blood circulation for improved oxygenation of cells in the skin, which can improve youthful appearance by diminishing wrinkles.

 

Propolis

Propolis, also known as “bee glue”, is a substance created by honeybees to help protect their hives. Propolis is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It also has antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it an ideal ingredient for treating troubled or inflamed skin. Honeybees create it from tree resin to seal their hives and protect them from disease. Keepers Collective uses propolis to help reduce redness in the skin, fight bacteria and leave your skin feeling smooth and rejuvenated.

 

Honey

Raw Honey has long been used as an ingredient in skincare because of its antibacterial properties and high levels of antioxidants that help keep skin looking younger longer. Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it absorbs and retains moisture. It’s also packed with vitamins and minerals that help nourish the skin. Keepers Collective uses honey in their products to give your skin a hydrated, glowing look. The soothing properties of honey also make it an excellent remedy for dry, irritated or inflamed skin.

 

Royal jelly

Royal Jelly is a substance created by honeybees to feed their queen bee and is known for its anti-aging benefits. It’s incredibly rich in amino acids as well as vitamins A, C, D, E and K which are essential for maintaining healthy glowing skin. The combination of nutrients can help strengthen the skin’s protective barrier while giving it a boost of hydration and nourishment.
