Propolis is a natural product made by honeybees, often referred to as bee resin or bee glue. It is a brown-yellow resinous mass with an aromatic scent. Bees collect resins from buds and tree bark, mix them with wax and their own enzymes to produce propolis. Inside the hive, they use this “bee glue” to seal cracks and openings and protect the colony from germs and pests. The name propolis comes from Greek: “pro” means “for/in front of” and “polis” means “city”, referring to its protective function for the “bee city”. Bee venom is an extraordinarily rich natural concentrate: Around 50% of its dry mass consists of melittin – a water-soluble peptide studied for its soothing and protective effects on the skin. Alongside the natural peptide apamin, it can stimulate skin microcirculation, refine its appearance, and promote a smoother, firmer look. In a bee venom cream, this natural power offers gentle yet effective care. Bee venom thus combines centuries-old beekeeping knowledge with modern research, providing a natural complement for premium skincare products. Our cream combines propolis and bee venom in a gentle process, uniting protection with mild microcirculation stimulation. With only the most essential ingredients, it delivers effective, fast-absorbing care. Effects When applying the Bee Venom Cream with Propolis, tiny bee venom peptides such as melittin penetrate through the stratum corneum into deeper skin layers with the help of sunflower oil and propylene glycol. There, they activate pain and immune receptors, triggering a completely harmless “alarm signal”. The body responds with local vasodilation: more blood, oxygen, minerals, and vitamins flow to the treated area, explaining the typical tingling or warming sensation. At the same time, melittin blocks inflammation-promoting signaling pathways, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort. Propolis contributes antibacterial flavonoids that repel germs and support wound healing, while camphor stimulates thermoreceptors and relaxes tense muscles. Beeswax finally forms a light, breathable protective film that retains moisture without clogging pores. Thus, the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom combines targeted stimulation therapy with natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial protection – entirely without cortisone, mineral oils, or parabens.

Warm the skin slightly (e.g., with a warm cloth) to enhance absorption. Initial test phase (1 - 2 weeks) Apply the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom 2–3 times daily directly to the affected area – not over large areas. Gently massage the Bee Venom Cream with Propolis by Heilnatura until fully absorbed. Monitor your individual tolerance and relief during these 7–14 days. Regular use After a successful test phase: continue applying 2–3 times daily to the targeted area and massage thoroughly. A small amount of the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom is sufficient: it is very economical and pleasantly scented. Minimum treatment duration & long-term use Due to the natural ingredients, we recommend a minimum application period of 6 weeks. If improvement continues, you can use the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom for as long as desired – your body needs time to initiate its own regeneration processes. Additional uses The Bee Venom Cream with Propolis is also excellent for soothing massages or general relaxation treatments.
