By infusing propolis directly into olive oil, this formulation delivers two essential therapeutic actions: reducing inflammation and strengthening the skin barrier—the two core priorities in eczema management.
1. Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits (Propolis)
Stingless bee propolis naturally contains high levels of bioflavonoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant enzymes. Current scientific literature demonstrates that propolis can:
- Reduce inflammatory pathways implicated in eczema (including COX-2 and pro-inflammatory cytokines)
- Support wound healing and epithelial regeneration
- Inhibit common skin pathogens (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus), which are known to worsen eczema
- Protect the skin from oxidative stress that contributes to barrier breakdown
Trigona propolis specifically has been shown to exhibit significantly higher antioxidant activity—up to 3× that of Brazilian propolis—enhancing its protective and restorative effects.
2. Barrier reinforcement and moisture retention (Olive Oil)
- Extra virgin olive oil is rich in squalene, vitamin E, and oleic acids, which have been studied for their ability to:
- Improve the integrity of the skin barrier
- Reduce transepidermal water loss
- Soothe irritation
- Support recovery of dry, cracked, or sensitised skin

APPLICATIONS:
For eczema-prone skin
- Apply 1–2 drops onto the affected area.
- Ensure the site remains lightly coated.
- Use 2–3 times daily, especially after bathing.
For maintenance
- Apply once daily to support skin barrier resilience.
