OUR INGREDIENTS

Our ingredients, which have been used since ancient times, including Nigella S, are anti-inflammatory and help reduce inflammation, calm, and ease pain and itching. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to protect itself from harm. When an injury occurs, a flood of white blood cells comes rushing in to surround and protect the wound. During the process of self-protection, swelling and redness occur, instead of just bringing healing blood to the area.

With 3 anti-oxidant ingredients in our signature product, BeeBomb is packed with compounds that can prevent or slow down cell damage caused by free radicals. If your body cannot process and remove free radicals efficiently, oxidative stress occurs, which can lead to cell and tissue damage. If left uncontrolled oxidative stress is a major culprit in accelerating the aging process, and who wants that?

GRAPE SEED OIL

After grapes have been used to make wine, juice, or jam, the seeds left behind are still filled with numerous minerals. Grape seed oil, a good source of vitamin E, is loaded with skin-loving moisture from vegetable fatty acids.

Grape seed’s powerful substances are:

• Vitamin E

• Linoleic Acid

• Potassium

• Polyphenols

• Phosphorus

• Calcium

• Zinc

This army of antioxidants can battle for you, fighting to neutralize excess free radicals, the unstable molecules that can harm your cells. Without these armor-clad protectors, too many free radicals quickly become unruly and cause serious cell harm. Although your body needs some free radicals to fight infection, they need to be balanced with antioxidants.

Regardless, should you have sensitive skin, you can use this silky oil without fear of a negative reaction. However, because some people have extreme allergic responses, we always recommend a test patch when trying any new product.

Grape seed oil is lightweight, easily absorbed, and will not clog your pores.

The minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants in grape seed oil work together to fade dark spots, and minimize scarring. Polyphenols have been known for slowing the aging process and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.

The anti-inflammatory properties in Grape seed oil help reduce inflammation, and the anti-microbial fight disease-causing bacteria. 

The *Global Journal of Health Science claims, that the proanthocyanidins in grape seed extract trigger the release of a substance (*VEGF) which encourages the growth of new blood vessels. Topically, grape seed application causes wounds to contract and close.

We are working on a new flower formula specifically to protect against infection caused by scratch wounds.

BEESWAX

• Antioxidant

• Anti-inflammatory

• Anti-bacterial

• Anti-allergenic

• Anti-microbial

• Non-toxic

• Germicidal

Being the foundation of the beehive, a unique quality of beeswax is that it doesn’t spoil or deteriorate with age. This comes as no surprise since bees produce the only food source that never spoils — honey.

In 1922, archeologists excavating the 3,000-year-old tomb of King Tut came upon jars of unspoiled honey. Thanks to the brave souls who were bold enough to taste it, they discovered the nectar as sweet as if fresh.

Honey that doesn’t spoil, and beeswax that doesn’t deteriorate, hum, seem like the perfect building blocks for a healthier you.

Beeswax is a comedogenic occlusive, which means it provides a protective barrier on your skin to lock in moisture., while letting it breath. A good example is in the same way beeswax can be used to waterproof leather, by forming a shield-like barrier on the material.

FUN FACT: Mathematicians have worked on solving a problem for thousands of years, called the “Honeycomb Conjecture.” Only recently proven in 1999 by a mathematician named, Thomas Hales. The Honeycomb Conjecture, to put it simply, states, that the hexagon shape provides maximum coverage, using minimal perimeter. 

A theory that took thousands of years and multiple pages to prove is a God-given instinctual structure created by the honeybee.

AVOCADO OIL

Unlike grape seed oil, which absorbs quickly, avocado oil’s thicker consistency is slow and powerful, producing a deep hydration that protects, repairs, and rejuvenates your skin. Say goodbye to dry, chapped, or flaky skin.

Vitamins A & E, combined with lecithin and proteins in avocado oil are said to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation.

Perhaps the combination of the wonderful ingredients in BeeBomb is why this non-toxic product has been so successful in treating skin conditions, like eczema, psoriasis, and scaly, dry, or cracked skin.
