PROPOLIS ointment, plant extracts
and vitamins A, D and E-50 ml-e

Ingredients:
Propylene glycol extract of propolis with oily extract of St John’s wort flower, marigold and fresh carrot root (1:4) with vitamins A, D and E in a suitable medium.

Characteristics and effects:
Propolis is a natural product of bees. The basic ingredients are various plant resins and wax that bees process with a secretion from their glands. It contains flavonoids, anthocyanins, phytohormones, essential oils, pollen, and other ingredients. Due to all that, it has antimicrobial, fungicidal and partly antiviral effects. It strengthens the body’s resistance and helps with various inflammations of the mouth and throat and on superficial wounds and infections on the skin, activating enzymes of cellular metabolism, which stimulates processes of regeneration of damaged tissue.
St John’s wort flowers contain dyes: up to 0.4% hypericin, flavonoids, up to 0.3% essential oil with terpenes, and up to 10% tannins. The herb (flower with stem) contains up to 3% hyperforin, a substance with antibiotic effect. St John’s wor thas antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, sedative, analgesic and epithelializing effects and is traditionally used for burns and healing wounds, ulcers and hemorrhoids. Nourishes and protects sensitive skin prone to allergies. Helps remove bruises.
Marigold is an antiphlogistic, epithelial and antimicrobial. It is most often used externally for healing wounds and rapid epithelialization of damaged tissue. It helps with purulent inflammation of the skin, for dressing wounds, after wasp and bee stings and in the period of tissue regeneration after burns.
Marigold oil extract improves epithelialization and is used in creams for healing and removing scars from burns and preparations for the care of dry, rough and cracked skin. It helps with varicose veins and dermatitis of various etiologies.
Marigold petals contain essential oils (0.1-0.5%) with menthone, γ-terpinene, caryophyllene, carotenoids, bitter substances (calendulin), sterols, calendulasides (2-10%), flavonoids, immunostimulating polysaccharides and tannins that have an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting leukocyte infiltration and inflammatory processes and help tissue granulation.
The antiphlogistic effect is probably related to the presence of prostaglandin type E-1.
Propolis ointment also contains fresh carrot oil extract as a natural source of vitamins A, D and E in sufficient quantity to accelerate the revitalization of the damaged epithelium of the mucous membrane or skin and prevent bacterial and fungal infections.
Vitamin E improves the microcirculation of collagen and elastic connective tissue fibers and has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. It has a strong antioxidant effect on free radicals. It prevents the formation of acne and purulent processes by suppressing the oxidative processes of sebum ingredients on the surface of the skin, that is, the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as other substances that easily oxidize in tissues and create harmful peroxides. It prevents the formation of lipoperoxide, which accelerates cell mitosis and leads to flaking of the skin and the formation of pimples.
Vitamin A deficiency leads to dryness of the skin and hyperkeratotic changes.

Instructions for use:
In addition to previously mentioned indications, propolis ointment is also used for the treatment of problematic skin prone to infections of bacterial, viral and fungal origin. It has a beneficial effect on neurodermatitis of various etiologies, superficial wounds, eczema, burns, acne, hemorrhoids, purulent processes, etc.
