Research on our product Ingredients
Bee Pollen
During ancient times in China, bee pollen was used for skin care and beauty. Around 70% of substances in bee pollen are biologically active, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and fatty acids, phenolic compounds, vitamins and bioelements.
Bee Pollen comprises at least 200 biologically active substances. Proteins constitute about 22.7% of bee pollen composition, including 10.4% essential amino acids: methionine, lysine, threonine, histidine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, tryptophan. Carbohydrates constitute 30.8%, among the fatty acids present in bee pollen we can list acids such as gamma-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and linoleic acid. 25.7% of reducing sugars, additionally nucleic acids and nuceosides are valuable components as well. It contains also vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, H, E) and minerals (potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, manganese). So bee Pollen doesn't just nourish the skin, it is also filled with antioxidants for the skin.
Honey
Honey contains at least 181 ingredients. A supersaturated solution containing mainly glucose and fructose and may contain sucrose, rhamnose, trehalose, nigerobiose, isomaltose, maltose, maltotetraose, maltotroise, maltulose, melezitose, melibiose, nigerose, palatinose, raffinose, and erlose. It also contains enzymes, namely glucose oxidase, amylase, catalase, peroxidase, invertase, and lysozyme. Glucose oxidase produces hydrogen peroxide which is one of the responsible substances for the antibacterial properties of honey. It also contains organic acids: gluconic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, and pyromucic acid. The content of these acids is higher in mature honeys. Phenolic acids and flavonoids, which are responsible for part of the antioxidative activity, are also part of the honey. The group of phenolic acid includes derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acid, and hydrobenzoic acid. The flavenoids found in honey include naringenin, hesperetin, pinocembrin, chrysin, galangin, quercetin and kaempferol. Honey also contains water, amino acids and proteins. Proline (50-80%) dominates among the amino acids. Although honey contains vitamins and minerals these are not in high volume. The hydrogen peroxide, high osmotic pressure, high acidity, the presence of phenolic acids, flavenoids and lysozyme provide the antimicrobial properties that honey has. Honey also has high nutritional value and regenerative properties, how. Thanks to the osmosis microcirculation in the dermal tissue is stimulated, which results in its better nutrition and oxygenation. In this way, metabolic processes are also stimulated, which leads to eliminating harmful metabolites and increasing the regenerative process. Because honey also gas hygroscopicproperties, absorbing metabolites, and causing detoxification of the dermal tissue. This results in an increase in the skin tension, improvement of its elasticity, revitalizing its color, and smoothing out wrinkles. The Fuit acids provide exfoliating effects for the dead skin cells.
Our Ingredients
The reason we focus on bee ingredients as the main active ingredients of our product is due to the amount of nutrients. and the combination of these causes a very effective nourishment for the skin. Just reading the ingredients found in both honey and bee pollen you can see that some of these are isolated and sold as key ingredients by themselves.
We only use natural ingredients for all of our products. Because we know that by using nature, we don't have a much larger amount of nutrient and benefits for the skin. We also use ingredients such as Jojoba oil, shea butter, honey, bee pollen, lemon oil, fruit pectin, pumpkin seed powder, grapeseed oil, carrot powder, lemon extract, lemon oil, olive wax, CDB, cinnamon, cloves, whitchazel, volcanic clay, bee wax, glucose, caffeine, rosemary, green tea, (For the beard products essential oils are also used). We do not use any chemical-based, or petroleum-based conservatives, or humectants, or emulsifiers, or bonding agents. We use food science to maintain the shelf stability of the products while using 100% natural products
Our Vitamin C Serum
