BEE RICH PRODUCT NOTES

PROPOLIS CREAM

Our skin is our largest organ and consists of three layers; the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (middle layer) and the subcutaneous (inner layer). Each of these layers has a distinct function in protection and regeneration of skin. Our skin acts as a protective wall between our body and possible harmful effects of the environment; such as bacteria and millions of other contaminates. Our skin is a reflection or a mirror image of our overall health. In order for our body to function properly we must receive sufficient nutrition, rest and exercise. A healthy skin is fed from the inside from the bloodstream which should contain the necessary nutrients. A deficiency in any one of these can adversely affect our health and can lead to skin that heals slowly, has poor circulation and looks shallow and dull. Bee Rich Propolis Cream is a natural topical cream that contains a balance of nutrients along with moisturizing components to help combat many of these deficiencies and can be used for minor skin irritations, cuts and burns. Propolis Cream can also be used as a moisturizing cream. (To learn more of proper nutrition, look at the other Bee Rich nutritional products.)
