IngredientsBEEing Human Again
Our skin is a living breathing tissue, our first line of defence against infection and our body’s largest organ. Sadly, it’s also quite often the first casualty in our fight against daily stressors. Dry, itchy skin is frighteningly common at all ages and older skin is especially prone to thinning and loss of flexibility as cell renewal slows down. Thankfully, nature has plenty of secrets set aside that can gently but effectively restore beautiful and healthy skin.
Royal Jelly is packed with micronutrients, proteins, minerals and other ingredients that deeply nourish your skin. These not only have anti-wrinkle effects, they fight other signs of ageing in the skin like discolouration and loss of elasticity. For skin that’s injured or suffering from the effects of a specific condition, the resurfacing and cell regeneration properties of many of our balms have been known to help accelerate healing and improve the look of scars.
