It is well established : what you put on your body is just as significant as what you put in your body. Your skin is indeed the largest organ of your body and since it is porous, it absorbs whatever you put on it.

For all of those with sensitive skin, this is the natural beauty ingredient you need to know about for brightening, acne-fighting, and maintaining a youthful glow: bee propolis. This powerful substance, made by honeybees, has been around for centuries yet has flown under the radar in modern times—especially in times when acids and retinols are touted as the best skin-smoothing ingredients. However, there is a very gentle alternative skin-enhancing ingredient.

It is found in many consumer products including beverages, skin lotion, cosmetics, or ointments for minor burns and sunburns. There is little clinical evidence for the effectiveness or safety of Aloe vera extract as a cosmetic or medicine.

Beeswax (cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis. The wax is formed into scales by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments of worker bees, which discard it in or at the hive. The hive workers collect and use it to form cells for honey storage and larval and pupal protection within the beehive. Chemically, beeswax consists mainly of esters of fatty acids and various long-chain alcohols.
