Royal Jelly

Royal jelly is a fluid secretion produced by worker bees, to feed all the larvae in the hive during their first days of life. Only one bee – selected to become a queen – is fed with royal jelly for the rest of its life.
Royal jelly is secreted from glands on the heads of worker bees. It is synthesized from pollen, water and honey, mixed with saliva, hormones and vitamins. Fresh royal jelly tastes acid and resembles condensed milk.
Royal jelly extract is a suspension of royal jelly in glycerin.

Skin conditioning activity

This activity is due to the protein and carbohydrates content in royal jelly.

Proteins

The polar nature of proteins gives them the capacity to bind water molecules by establishing hydrogen bonds. This action is not influenced by the molecular weight of the protein. However, if penetration into the skin and moisturizing in deeper skin layers is the goal, then short-chain, low molecular weight peptides yield better results.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are active principles extensively used in cosmetics. These compounds are hygroscopic, namely they adsorb water thus contributing to keep a healthy moisture level in the horny layer. These active compounds build hydrogen bonds, thus preventing massive water loss and reducing dehydration. Additionally, some of these compounds make a protective coat on the skin, thus preventing and slowing down transepidermal water loss.

Skin regenerating and stimulating activity

Royal jelly is a well-known ingredient of cosmetic creams because it provides a younger and clearer appearance to the skin. Royal jelly is a natural product with high contents of nutrients for the skin. It enhances the skin metabolism and delays skin aging.

Royal jelly extract is recommended to formulate cosmetic products with anti-irritant and calming activity for skin and hair care. Also Royal jelly extract is of great use to formulate cosmetic products with purifying and antiseptic activity.
