Honey, Nature’ s Preservative

Since ancient times, honey has been considered a rare delicacy with medicinal properties in both Eastern and Western medicine. It's a natural beauty remedy with anti-aging, moisturizing, and antiseptic properties that' s fit for a queen.

SKINFOOD produced a new series of skincare product with Royal Honey. Today I would like to look into the ingredients of these and see if it is a good deal comparing with Guerlain’s Royal Honey Collection.

First of all, let’s look into the main character, the Royal Honey Propolis Essence.

This essence featuring 50% propolis extract, royal jelly, and rich honey. In the second version, it said the propolis is increased to 63%.

The polyphenolic compounds that make up the propolis show a high antioxidant activity, which inhibits the lipid peroxidation of fat. Propolis can protect from UVA and UVB, one of the sources caused us aging, the natural anti-UV ingredient.

As for the other bee ingredient, royal jelly, it used to be a health food. It is not generalised to be used in skin care products.

Quoting from a study by Chiba University in Japan about the effect of royal jelly on the human skin. The researchers used mice to experiment with strong chemicals to make Allergic Contact Dermatitis on their backs and then apply royal jelly to the affected area. As a result, royal jelly reduced chronic pruritus in mice.

It is very common. The similar situation happened to many users when they use the wrong product. The skin turns very sensitive, serious facial itch, the royal jelly will help ease.

Lastly, the honey, it values by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It helps to heal the wounds quickly.

So what’ s all this good for?

Long-lasting, double moisturization

Have you ever experienced this? You get a new moisturizer, but upon application, it doesn’ t really absorb into your skin but just sits on top.

The aged honey and other all-natural ingredients in SKINFOOD’ s Royal Honey line effect a deep moisturizing impact which penetrates into the skin, not remaining on the surface. Honey attracts and retains moisture, so our Royal Honey products double moisturize, from the outside in, to the inside out. They provide a long-lasting, comprehensive moisturization to treat dry skin at all levels, firming skin and preventing it from aging.
