Bonnyhill Honeybee Propolis Cream 170ml

A thick, nourishing korean moisturizer built on propolis, royal jelly and honey extracts. It is the one to reach for when skin is tight, flaking, or generally behaving as though it has had enough.

Every winter somebody comes in with a routine of nine products and skin that has stopped cooperating. This is the dry skin cream we hand them: heavy, uncomplicated, and nothing in it trying to be clever.

What is in it

Propolis is the resin bees seal a hive with and it has been in Korean skincare for decades for the same reason it is in a hive: it protects a surface. Royal jelly and honey extract carry the moisture. The texture is a true balm-weight cream, not a gel pretending to be one.

The size of it

170ml, which is a large pot — it will last a season of winter evenings. Suitable for all skin types, though oily skin will prefer it at night only.

Good to know

Use clean fingers or a spatula rather than dipping in after cleansing, and close the lid firmly. Keep it out of direct sun and finish it within a year of opening.

A propolis cream sits at the heavy end of a routine and this is the heaviest we stock — the korean skincare answer to a winter that has gone on too long.
