Propolis – aka. bee glue, bee penicillin – is a natural resinous mixture produced by honey bees from substances collected from parts of plants, buds, and exudates.

Due to its waxy nature and mechanical properties, bees use propolis in the construction and repair of their hives for sealing openings and cracks and smoothing out the internal walls and as a protective barrier against external invaders like snakes, lizards, and so forth, or against weathering threats like wind and rain. Bees gather propolis from different plants, in the temperate climate zone the main source is poplar.

Propolis is a complex mixture of plant-derived compounds. In general, raw propolis is composed of around 50% resins, 30% waxes, 10% essential oils, 5% pollen, and 5% of various organic compounds.

It possesses a characteristic and pleasant aromatic smell and varies in colour from yellow green to red and to dark brown depending on its source and age.

The propolis we are using in CosMix products is originated from France. Thanks to the patented Oléo-éco-extraction process, the DNA footprint from propolis’ botanical species

(trees, flowers…) is extracted with sunflower oil, used as a green solvent.

The skin benefits of Propolis Extract are abundant.

It is one of the only substances in the world,  known to contain nearly all of the vitamins and nutrients needed to sustain life.

Propolios is rich in Vitamin E, its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value is 1500 times higher than Sunflower oil’s. Five powerful antioxidants have been identified in propolis; Chrysin, Naringenin, Galangin, Caffeic acid and Quercetin.

Propolis offers protection to the cutaneous cells against photo-induced oxidative stress, and combats bacterial proliferation.
