Now Available In Liposomal Form!
Liposomes are the latest nano-scale technology for the encapsulation of cosmetic actives. This technology uses bilayer lipids(fats) to encapsulate active ingredients and protect them until the point of delivery into the target cell. The lipids used are extremely biocompatible with cell walls allowing them to bond to and release the active ingredient directly into the cells. Studies have shown that this method of delivery helps to time release the actives and increase absorption by as much as 7 times. Not only do you need less of the active ingredient to achieve better results, but the steady absorption over time will increase the benefits between applications.
Bee products have been used in medicine for centuries due to their therapeutic properties resulting from a wide range of biological activities. Recently, bee products have gained popularity as an ingredient in cosmetic products. Bee venom has shown promising potential for anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral effects and it has also been recognized for its anti-aging properties. The desire to keep a young look and improve wrinkles caused by skin aging has resulted in an increased number of anti-wrinkle products with innovative ingredients. Bee venom has been recently incorporated into anti-aging face masks, with a formulation aimed at stimulating collagen and elastin production for a skin-tightening effect.
Botox treatments are the most common cosmetic procedure, this natural ingredient (which first made a buzz when it was named Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Middleton’s facial of choice) is now considered the gold standard in natural alternatives to tackling fine lines - sans needles. The venom itself increases blood circulation, gently plumping out and firming the skin, filling and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. It also adds a rush of blood to the area and stimulates the production of collagen.
Findings have shown that a cosmetic product made with a blend of bee venom and other bee products (0.1% bee venom, 0.3% propolis, 0.5% honey, and 1% royal jelly) had a high antioxidant capacity of 85%. The formula also proved to be non-cytotoxic, with no irritation or allergic reaction in non-allergic individuals.
*One gram of venom is the equivalent of 10,000 bee stings
*Each Ounce of Liposomal Bee Venom contains 1.21 grams of bee venom
*Not Recommended for people with bee allergies; always do a patch test of any new product before applying to a large area.
