Learn everything about the organic French dynamised propolis of Ballot-Flurin: definition, use in apitherapy and cosmetics, originating from our harvests…:

The propolis is the health guarantee of the beehive, thanks to its powerful natural antiseptic properties (it is Yang according to Chinese pharmacoepia!). Made by the pharmacist bees and the true immune system of the beehive, it originates from a choice of vegetal sap and fabulous secretions. For humans it is first of all a precious ally that soothes in depth, strengthens the organism's defences and purifies the skin.

Why is our organic propolis richer and more active ?

It is certified 100 % French, and organic:
Our soft Beekeeping method guarantees organic propolis of apitherapeutic quality, harvested in preserved French terroirs, with optimal richness in active substances, a living structure and excellent vibratory fields. Here are a few of our secrets:

Rare and precious:
A rigorous selection is carried out from the whole harvest: on 1 kg harvest we only select 300 g for apitherapeutic use. It contains maximum 15% of beeswax, a guarantee of its high purity. It is only and exclusively that very high quality propolis that will be included in the composition of our bio-apitherapeutic preparations.

Well-being of the bees:
The fresh propolis is only collected from local beehive wood, which provides a much purer propolis than the plastic bars commonly used, and preserves the well-being of the bees.

At each quality its own use:
We do not mix various foreign origins, but on the contrary select local French organic varieties for use in natural care and beauty products adapted to each case:

- White-cream propolis:
The mildest, perfect for skin, fragile noses and throats. It is extracted without alcohol, and therefore is suitable for children and sensitive persons.

- Yellow propolis:
The most active in time, ideal for the strengthening of general immunity and the purification of the digestive system. It is extracted on a clay or oil bed.

- Black propolis:
It acts quickly and is used at small doses, because it is powerful. It quickly soothes the small winter discomforts and skin imperfections. It is extracted with alcohol (organic spirits).

True to the principles of Chinese energetics, we consider the place (white propolis of the rivers, yellow propolis of the mountains), season, planetary conjunction, hour of the harvest, and even the precise of the beehive where the propolis is! (propolis of the entrance, body propolis, radius propolis).

Great expertise:
Patented extraction methods based on ancient knowledge (exclusive Ballot-Flurin patent n° FR 07 54648) for the purification, preservation and concentration of the active ingredients in our organic propolis.

Learn more about the outstanding properties and use of propolis

The bees mainly use propolis to eliminate harmful micro-organisms, and to embalm the corpses of small animals that entered the hive and they cannot evacuate to the outside.

Propolis is a natural source very rich in more than 300 precious elements: anti-oxidants, phenol, aromatic components, vitamin A, B, amino acids and oligo elements… Contrary to synthetic antibiotics, formulated based on a principal active molecule, the propolis draws its efficiency from these multiple components, with complex synergic actions. Its formulation, never definite, prevents the mutation of germs to counteract its effects.

For humans, the natural antibiotic, anaesthetic, healing and anti-inflammatory properties of propolis give it 3 great action fields in health and beauty:

1. NET and pulmonary complaints:
Winter, cold, pollution, seasonal hypersensitivity, dry atmospheres, air conditioning. Throat, nose protection...

2. Stomatology:
Application in the mouth and on gums for discomfort, bad breath, mouth ulcers, voice defects. Clears and preserves the voice.
