Propolis and hive products in beauty care

A short guide to propolis and honey: their place in Moroccan homes, how they are used and what to keep in mind.

Propolis (العكبر (البروبوليس))

Propolis is a resin bees collect from tree buds to seal the hive.

How to use: Use only as stated on the label, after asking a professional. This article is for information only.

Honey (العسل)

Honey has long been part of the Moroccan table: at breakfast with bread and butter, and in pastries such as chebakia.

How to use: A small spoon at breakfast or in a warm drink. No honey or hive products for babies under 1 or anyone allergic to bee products.

Making room for propolis in your habits

• Read the label carefully, keep the original pack and don't use propolis in any way other than stated.
• Watch how your skin or hair responds and stop if any irritation appears.
• Propolis can be combined with hammam staples such as black soap and the kessa glove.
• Keep it simple: one or two regular steps beat many irregular ones.
