Not Vegan
How we decidePropolis is not vegan. Bees collect plant resin and turn it into a hive material containing beeswax and bee secretions, so it is more than a botanical extract.
Propolis is a resinous hive material used by bees to seal spaces and protect the nest. Its exact composition changes with local plant sources.
These flags describe sourcing. They are not an allergen assessment, and a vegan label is not a free-from claim. If you have an allergy, read the allergen declaration on the pack.
Ingredient Data
Not Vegan
Bee glue
Honey bees make propolis by collecting plant resins and mixing them with beeswax and bee secretions for use in the hive.
Lip products, creams, serums, oral-care products, lozenges and supplements.
Plant resin or botanical extract formulas made without hive products.
Bees gather resins from buds, bark and other plant surfaces. They blend the material with wax and secretions before applying it in the hive.
Propolis extract is made by extracting this finished hive material. The word extract does not turn it into a plant extract or remove its bee-derived origin.
