What is this soap made of?

Apart from the pollen, what are the ingredients that go to make up this bee pollen soap? They usually are a mix of natural ingredients and the percentage of bee pollen can be between 30% and 45%. The other ingredients are :-

• sodium palmate
• sodium palm kernelate
• palm kernel acid
• glycerin
• sodium chloride
• carrot essence
• beta carotene color
• wormwood

The fact that it contains bee pollen in such high quantities means that all the minerals, amino acids, vitamins and enzymes are getting to the dermis and epidermis and that is going to do our skin a lot of good.  It can be used in the bath and for daily face washing too.



How to check for purity and quality

It is no harm to check out that the bee pollen used in any soap or skin preparation is coming from a very pure source and that the risk of it containing pollutants and contaminants is practically nil.  We also need to check out that the bee pollen is kept by beekeepers who are following the rules. Some recent scandals about beekeeping practices which are nothing short of dishonest have recently hit the apiary websites. These include:-

• ^{killing off bees at the end of the season and then re-queening – this is quite a common practice}

• ^{feeding the bees with corn syrup to increase production}

• ^{using fillers such as cheap Chinese filler pollens}

• ^{using antibiotics to keep bees healthy.}

^{These then are some of the things to look out for and make sure that the bee pollen used is from a pure source such as New Zealand where there are still pristine natural areas far away from any industrial developments.}

^{So, now that you have discovered what goes into makng bee pollen soap, why not find out what the benefits are when you actually take bee pollen capsules. You will be pleasantly surprised and will enjoy many healthy benefits.}
