Let’s dive deep into everything this essence has to offer — from texture and benefits to key ingredients and usage.

What Is It?

The Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence is a skin-revitalizing treatment step in your routine — it sits between your toner and serum, or it can act as both for minimalists who want a streamlined regimen. It’s formulated with a powerful blend of three major bee-derived ingredients: 63% black bee propolis extract, 10% royal jelly extract, and 10% black honey extract, offering a total of 93% natural ingredients aimed at replenishing, repairing, and protecting the skin.

What makes this product stand out is not only its rich, healing ingredients but also the care with which it’s formulated. It’s free from parabens, artificial fragrances, and harsh additives, making it ideal even for sensitive skin types. SKINFOOD, a pioneer in food-based skincare, brings the nurturing essence of honey and propolis to your skin in its most potent, concentrated form.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

1. Black Bee Propolis Extract (63%)

Propolis is a resin-like substance collected by bees from tree sap and botanical sources. Rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and anti-inflammatory compounds, it works to:

• Strengthen the skin’s natural barrier

• Protect against environmental damage and pollutants

• Calm redness and irritation

• Encourage skin regeneration

• Provide antibacterial properties to support acne-prone skin

By using black bee propolis, known for its purity and potency, SKINFOOD ensures maximum skin benefits in every drop.

2. Royal Jelly Extract (10%)

Royal jelly is the exclusive food of the queen bee and is renowned for its nutrient-rich composition. Containing proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins, it supports:

• Skin vitality and elasticity

• Enhanced collagen production

• Moisture retention

• Radiance and an even skin tone

Royal jelly adds a rejuvenating touch that promotes a more youthful, resilient complexion.

3. Black Honey Extract (10%)

Honey is a natural humectant, which means it draws moisture into the skin and locks it in. Black honey, a fermented or aged variety, is richer in enzymes and minerals. This ingredient:

• Deeply hydrates the skin

• Softens rough or flaky patches

• Provides antimicrobial protection

• Leaves the skin glowing and smooth

Together, these three ingredients form the core of the essence, working synergistically to nourish, hydrate, and defend your skin.

Texture and Feel

The SKINFOOD Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence has a luxurious, slightly viscous gel-like texture. It’s thicker than a toner but lighter than a serum, making it an ideal layering product. When applied, it spreads easily over the skin and absorbs with a gentle patting motion.

At first touch, it may feel a little sticky or tacky — a common characteristic of high-propolis formulas — but this dissipates as it fully absorbs into the skin, leaving behind a soft, dewy, and hydrated finish. There’s no greasy or oily residue, only a healthy, plump appearance that looks and feels moisturized.

This unique texture makes it especially comforting for dry or irritated skin, creating a soft protective film that keeps moisture sealed in without suffocating the skin.

Skin Benefits

The Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence offers a multitude of skin benefits:

1. Deep Hydration

Thanks to its honey and humectant-rich formula, this essence delivers long-lasting moisture deep into the skin layers. It helps combat dryness, flakiness, and tightness, particularly during colder seasons or in dehydrating environments.

2. Barrier Repair and Strengthening

One of the standout features of this essence is its ability to support and rebuild the skin barrier. Propolis and royal jelly enhance the skin’s defense mechanism, helping it withstand environmental stress, irritation, and inflammation. This is ideal for those with sensitive, damaged, or over-exfoliated skin.

3. Calming and Anti-Redness

Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe reactive skin. Whether you’re dealing with post-acne inflammation, rosacea, or seasonal irritation, this essence provides calming relief and reduces visible redness over time.

4. Radiance and Glow

With regular use, your complexion appears brighter, more even-toned, and noticeably radiant. The natural sugars, enzymes, and amino acids in honey and royal jelly stimulate skin renewal, leaving your face looking healthier and more vibrant.

5. Antioxidant Protection

Bee-derived ingredients are naturally rich in antioxidants, which help fight oxidative stress and free radical damage. This means fewer premature signs of aging, such as fine lines, dullness, and sagging.

6. Support for Acne-Prone Skin

While not an acne treatment per se, the antimicrobial and calming properties of propolis and honey can assist in managing acne-prone skin. They help keep bacteria at bay while healing and soothing existing blemishes, making this a good companion to active treatments.

How to Use

Step 1: After cleansing and applying toner, dispense 2–3 drops of the essence into your palm.

Step 2: Gently spread the product over your face, focusing on areas that need extra hydration or care.

Step 3: Pat lightly with fingertips to help absorption.

Step 4: Follow up with your favorite serums, creams, and sunscreen (in the daytime).

Tip: In the evening, you can layer it twice for an intensive moisture boost, especially in colder months.

This essence is gentle enough for daily use, both morning and night. For best results, incorporate it consistently into your routine.

Who Should Use It?

This product is suitable for all skin types but particularly beneficial for:

• Dry or dehydrated skin

• Sensitive or irritated skin

• Dull or lackluster complexion

• Aging or mature skin showing early signs of fine lines

• Skin recovering from acne treatments or exfoliation

Those with oily or acne-prone skin can also benefit from its balancing and soothing properties, but it's wise to start with a small amount to assess how your skin responds.

Packaging

The SKINFOOD Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence comes in a sturdy, semi-translucent glass bottle with a built-in dropper for hygienic application and precise dosage. The packaging has a premium feel, reflecting the richness of its formula. It’s compact enough to travel with but holds enough product to last several weeks, even with twice-daily use.

Final Thoughts

The SKINFOOD Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence is a powerhouse of hydration, nourishment, and barrier support. Its simple yet effective ingredient lineup, centered around natural bee extracts, provides a holistic approach to skincare — healing, protecting, and revitalizing the skin from within.

Whether you're a skincare minimalist looking for a single step that does it all or a beauty enthusiast layering multiple actives, this essence is a versatile and reliable addition. Its ability to calm, hydrate, and fortify the skin makes it a go-to product for maintaining healthy skin all year round.
