Propolis Extract for Skin

Seasonal redness, dullness caused by staying up late, recurring oiliness and acne, and dryness in autumn and winter—these skin issues always plague people. Most skincare products on the market either work slowly or are irritating. That’s when I discovered propolis extract, a natural skincare treasure. It’s gentle and additive-free, making it safe for sensitive and oily-acne-prone skin. When combined with other ingredients, it “supercharges” your routine, addressing all skin concerns with pinpoint accuracy! Today, I’m sharing the skincare benefits of propolis and practical combination formulas with you.

Healthkintai^®, a leading natural cosmetic ingredient supplier in China, wholeheartedly offers professional supply services for propolis extract. Should you have any procurement needs, please feel free to contact us at health@kintaibio.com.

How Does Propolis Extract Work for Skincare?

Anti-Inflammatory & Soothing, Barrier Repair for Sensitive Skin

Propolis contains active ingredients such as flavonoids and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE). These components inhibit the release of inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-6 and IL-8), alleviating seasonal redness and post-sleep deprivation skin sensitivity. They also promote the repair of the skin barrier, reducing the impact of external stimuli on the skin, making them particularly suitable for sensitive and oily-acne-prone skin.

Antioxidant & Anti-Aging, Dark Spot & Dullness Improvement
Propolis extract is rich in flavonoids, which endows it with strong antioxidant capacity. It can scavenge free radicals, reduce melanin deposition caused by UV exposure, enhance skin radiance, and delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Antibacterial & Acne-Preventing, Oil Regulation

Terpenoids and phenolic acids in propolis inhibit the growth of pathogens such as Propionibacterium acnes, reducing the occurrence of acne. Meanwhile, they regulate sebaceous gland secretion, balance skin oil levels, alleviate the problem of recurring oiliness and acne, and provide auxiliary improvement for mild to moderate acne.
