Propolis is a resinous substance that bees make from plant resins to seal the hive17. Its composition varies with origin: more than 300 compounds have been identified in it7. Cosmetic evidence remains limited, and it is a known contact allergen: 1.2 to 6.6% of people patch-tested are sensitive to it4.

Each result shows the protocol and the level of evidence. The higher the level, the better the result carries over to a finished formula.
More than 300 compounds have been identified, including phenolic compounds, aromatic acids, essential oils, waxes and amino acids. Biological properties depend on the composition, and therefore on the source plants, the geographic area and the season7.
The biological properties of hive products are linked to their flavonoids (chrysin, apigenin, kaempferol, quercetin, galangin, pinocembrin, naringenin). The article is a synthesis with no trial protocol of its own8.
The frequencies of positive tests did not differ significantly by propolis origin. A test with a single type of propolis detects only about half of allergic people6.
The extract reduced UV-induced MMP-1 production in fibroblasts, and limited collagen breakdown in human skin tissue. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester, quercetin and apigenin are among the compounds that slow the PI3K enzyme in assays. This result says nothing about the effect of a cream9.
Reviews describe antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of hive products, mostly from the lab. Our searches found no controlled trial of propolis on healthy skin with cosmetic measurements: the cosmetic benefit remains poorly demonstrated8.
Between 1.2 and 6.6% of people tested react to propolis. It is found in lip balms, cosmetics, lotions, ointments, shampoos, conditioners and toothpastes. The authors recommend considering it in users of these products4.
In Genoa, 16 people out of 257 (6.2%) reacted, including 13 (5.1%) to Brazilian propolis. With Chinese propolis, the frequency is low: 0.4% in Genoa (one person) and 0.9% in Malmö (3 out of 329)5.
None of the 500 cosmetics in the survey listed propolis. The authors conclude it is rarely, if ever, used in conventional cosmetics on the European market, and therefore unlikely to be a source of exposure. The link with beeswax is inconsistent from one study to the next: occasional cross-reactions exist, mostly with lip balms3.
The authors judge that propolis is present in few cosmetics, which are an uncommon cause of sensitization. In their view, most positive tests could be cross-reactions or pseudo-cross-reactions in people already sensitized to fragrances. They ask that the origin of the propolis used in tests always be specified2.
The review covers properties, uses, composition and contact allergy (sensitizing potential, products involved, cross-reactions, allergens) as well as other adverse effects1.
This page summarizes published literature on a cosmetic ingredient. It does not describe the effect of a finished product, which depends on its formula, and it is not medical advice. Any industry funding is indicated in the sources. Propolis is mostly studied as a health product; this page retains only what concerns composition, skin and skin tolerance.
Our white label catalog includes 1 formula with propolis, always as a supporting ingredient. Every category can be customized (formula, fragrance, packaging).
