For thousands of years, mankind has drawn on nature to heal itself and enhance its well-being. At Propolia, we've chosen to restore the value of a little-known but extraordinarily powerful ingredient: propolis. This natural shield produced by bees is an infinite source of benefits. Combined with royal jelly, pollen and honey, it provides a natural response to many everyday needs.
In fact, bees collect propolis to protect their hive from external aggressors such as fungi, viruses and bacteria. This plant resin, enriched with bee enzymes, has outstanding antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Today, we use these same properties to offer products that boost your immune system, soothe irritation and care for your skin.
Propolis is renowned for its ability to stimulate the body's natural defenses, particularly useful during seasonal changes when the body is more vulnerable. It works in synergy with other elements from the hive, notably pollen, rich in amino acids, antioxidants and essential vitamins to support the body in the face of oxidative stress.
Royal jelly, for its part, is produced by nurse bees and is a veritable concentrate of vitality. It is particularly prized for its energizing and metabolism-balancing properties. Its richness in essential nutrients makes it an ideal ally for combating fatigue and maintaining a healthy overall balance.
As well as being an excellent natural sweetener, honey has many beneficial properties for the body. Moisturizing, soothing and antibacterial, it is used in both cosmetics and phytotherapy to improve the health of the skin and digestive system.
It all began in 1975, when Marc-Alain Bernard, a passionate beekeeper, decided to set up his 600 hives in Occitanie. Fascinated by propolis, then considered a mere waste product from the hive, he began research into extracting its most precious active ingredients. In 1979, he perfected a unique purification process to obtain a highly concentrated , bio-available propolis.
Since then, Propolia has gone from strength to strength. From the first best-selling propolis gums to natural cosmetics, the brand has combined beekeeping tradition with scientific innovation. In 2017, the family business passed into the hands of Marc-Alain Bernard's five children, perpetuating a transgenerational passion for beehive products.
The company has always made a point of respecting rigorous manufacturing processes to guarantee the purity and efficacy of the extracts used. Each batch of propolis undergoes in-depth analysis to ensure optimum concentration of flavonoids and phenolic acids, the key molecules responsible for propolis' protective and purifying effects.
At Propolia, we believe in simple but essential values:
If you're looking for natural, effective and ethical products, Propolia is the brand for you. With its highly concentrated formulas of propolis, honey, royal jelly and pollen, it offers a natural solution for your daily well-being.
