How Bees Help the Skin

K-Beauty and bees: How the little animals help the skin.
Bees are really amazing. These tiny, hard-working creatures are not only important for our diet as they pollinate plants and produce delicious honey, but they also enhance the beauty of our skin. In this blog, you will learn more about the ingredients found in Korean cosmetics and how they benefit our skin.

Bee Venom
Apitoxin, also known as bee venom, is a complex mixture of various substances, including peptides, enzymes and amino acids. Due to its possible anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and skin-regenerating properties, it is very popular in the cosmetic industry, especially in Korean cosmetic products.

What effects does bee venom have on the skin and what role does the ingredient play in skin improvement?

Bee venom has the ability to improve blood circulation in the skin and stimulate the production of natural elastin and collagen. These processes can tighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote skin renewal. The anti-inflammatory properties contained in it can also help reduce acne and other skin inflammations.
Bee venom is a natural component obtained directly from bees.

How is bee venom obtained for Korean cosmetic products?

For cosmetic purposes, bee venom is extracted using a gentle process in which the bees are gently stimulated to secrete the venom without dying. The bees are then collected, cleaned and prepared for the manufacture of cosmetic products.

propolis
Propolis has long been used as a remedy to treat skin diseases, inflammation and to strengthen the immune system in the case of colds. Propolis is used by bees to seal and clean their homes. Due to its antibacterial, antifungal and antibiotic properties, it protects the inside of the hive from harmful substances coming from outside. Propolis also protects our skin from harmful environmental influences and acts as a protective agent. In addition, it protects the skin from UV radiation and promotes skin structure. The bee product also contains many nutrients and can help with acne and skin irritations due to its antimicrobial properties.

bee pollen
Bees collect bee pollen to feed their offspring. It contains numerous nutrients, vitamins and minerals. These are not only beneficial for the little bees, but also for our body and its largest organ, the skin. It also contains a large amount of antioxidants that slow down the aging of the skin. Bee pollen is also a good remedy for acne. The nutrients it contains help soothe the skin and kill acne bacteria.

royal jelly
Royal jelly is a special treasure in Korean cosmetics. Royal jelly is the only thing a queen bee eats in her life and it turns a worker bee into a queen. So something that is only intended for a queen bee is extremely valuable for our skin. Royal jelly contains numerous vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It supports the regeneration of cells, provides moisture and elasticity in the skin and is anti-inflammatory. It helps to keep the skin smooth and firm and can therefore provide special support for mature skin.
