After harvesting, it is transformed into a rich, high‑resin propolis cream through a slow, traditional extraction process that takes 4–6 weeks. Raw propolis is placed into 99.8% absolute ethanol at a 1:5 ratio and shaken daily, then filtered multiple times as the resin settles into a thick, creamy concentrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis soft, resin‑rich propolis cream is stored beneath a protective layer of ethanol to prevent it from hardening — because once exposed to air, propolis becomes extremely hard, almost like cement, and can only be re‑solubilised in ethanol. This natural hardness is part of what makes propolis such a powerful protective material inside the hive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotent antibacterial \u0026amp; antifungal activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports wound healing and tissue repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces inflammation and soothes irritated skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrengthens the skin barrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich in antioxidants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese benefits come directly from the bees’ own hive‑defence chemistry: concentrated plant resins, flavonoids, and natural antimicrobials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow We Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis high‑resin propolis cream is currently used in our medicinal formulations, with a view to expanding as supply increases:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScar Healing Balm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNail Guard \u0026amp; Chilblain Stick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScalp \u0026amp; Hair Tonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure Propolis Cream — Now Available\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor makers, herbalists, and formulators, we offer pure propolis cream exactly as we use it in our own products.
