Marathon To Beauty’s Hearts: Propolis vs. Honey

2025-01-08

Same same but different! The relationship between Propolis and Honey is just like a sisterhood. Both are collected by bees, but are there any hidden reasons that lead us to put these magic ingredients on the same scale? Let's dive into it now!! 


The Difference Between Propolis and Honey



On the one hand, Propolis is a resinous mixture collected by bees from tree buds and plants, which they use to protect their hives from bacteria and viruses. Packed with nutrients like flavonoids and polyphenols, Propolis boasts strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it a powerful element in Korean skin care. 

Honey, on the other hand, is produced from flower nectar gathered by bees and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Known for its soothing and hydrating abilities, honey is widely used in skincare to nourish, moisturize, and enhance the skin’s natural glow. 

But...


Why Propolis is a Standout Ingredient in Skincare? 

An all-in-one solution for the skin! Propolis has key active compounds such as Flavonoid, Phenolic Acid, and Este. 

The superstar of Propolis is Flavonoid, which is well known for its ability to antioxidant and help neutralize free radicals - harmful molecules that destroy skin cells, leading to premature aging, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. Moreover, Flavonoid also reduces inflammation, making Propolis effective for calming irritated skin, and reducing redness, acne. 

Additionally, Phenolic Acid has stronger antioxidant properties, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors, including UV rays, and pollution. 

  • Superior Antibacterial & Antioxidant Power 

As mentioned, Propolis Extract stands out for its potent antibacterial properties, which help prevent skin issues like acne and infections. The polyphenols in Propolis also offer substantial antioxidant benefits, protecting the skin from environmental damage and premature aging. 

  • Strengthens Skin's Protective Barrier 

What sets Propolis apart from Honey is its ability to fortify the skin's protective barrier. Propolis reduces harmful bacteria on the skin’s surface and supports the healing process of damaged skin, making it an excellent choice for skin repair and protection. 

  • Boosts Collagen Production 

The human body has at least 16 different types of collagen, but the first three types that account for about 80 to 90% of total collagen are Collagen types I, and III. Additonally, Collagen types I and III play vital roles during wound healing. Since Propolis has been reported to stimulate the transforming growth factor beta, which is involved in collagen production, promotes the activation of fibroblasts, which are important for synthesizing and enhancing Collagen types I and III thicker and better-aligned collagen fibers. 

Thus, Propolis not only boosts collagen production but also enhances skin elasticity, firmness, and resilience. This makes Propolis a great ingredient for anti-aging products, offering benefits beyond what honey can provide!


How does Propolis Extract work in Facial Synergy Ampoule? 

The formula of Facial Synergy Ampoule is concentrated 86% Propolis Extract in place of purified water, delivering a rich infusion of nourishing and healing benefits. The product builds a solid shield to distance skin from harmful bacteria and slows down premature aging. Propolis not only combats free radicals that cause aging but also promotes skin regeneration, filling in damaged tissue.
