Elastin and collagen are known for their assistance in replenishing natural
losses due to aging.
Vitamin E is also known to be beneficial to the skin for it's moisturising
and healing properties. This combined with the antibacterial qualities of
propolis makes this cream suitable for everyday use.
The name Propolis is derived from the Greek words 'PRO' - before and
'POLlS' - city.
It was first used by beekeepers in Ancient times that noticed bees often
built a wall in front of the entrance to their hive, hence the name 'Propolis' -
before the city.
The busy worker bees collect resins from trees that exude sap to protect
themselves from infection. The bees re-metabolise this to form what we know as
propolis, smearing the dark substance around the entrance to their hives to
strengthen and protect their home against infection.
Propolis is a natural antibacterial agent with antiviral, anaesthetic,
antioxidant and antibiotic properties. Propolis contains over 60 different
naturally occurring chemicals and it's because of this complexity that it lends
itself to a very wide scope of uses. Just a few ingredients contained in
propolis are flavanoids, organic acids, vitamins and numerous minerals.
Propolis is a powerful remedy to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu.
Topically it is helpful for treating a whole range of minor skin conditions and
wounds. It may also help in increasing the body's immune system.
In the preparation of Australian By Nature's propolis, a cold treatment process
is used. This ensures that our propolis products come with all the "goodness
nature intended".
Warning: Propolis may cause allergic reactions. Test on skin
before use. If swelling occurs, discontinue use.
