SBC Propolis Skincare Gel

Today, I would like to share with you another skincare hero of mine, it is the SBC Propolis Skincare Gel. Last year, I introduced you to their Collagen range which is still a firm favourite, and yet, at this time of year, I am repeatedly reaching for Propolis.

What Is Propolis?

Propolis is the “bee glue” that protects and holds together the hive but this sticky substance has many health benefits as well!

Propolis is thought to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties and appears to provide protection from some bacteria, viruses, and fungi. More than 300 compounds in propolis have been identified and the majority of these compounds are forms of polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that fight disease and repair damage in the body. Propolis, specifically contains the polyphenols called flavonoids. Flavonoids are produced in plants as a form of protection. They’re commonly found in foods thought to have antioxidant properties, including: fruits, green tea, vegetables and red wine.
