EVOO+K 10ml

We hear this a lot, and it's a fair worry — most 'soothing' products are loaded with fragrance and preservatives that set reactive skin off. EVOO+K goes the other way. It's just three simple ingredients, with no perfume, no alcohol and no steroids to provoke a flare. It was built to calm stressed skin, not challenge it. Do a small patch test first, but most sensitive skin gets on well with it.

Fair question. But that 'bee glue' is how a hive of thousands stays disease-free in warm, damp conditions — the bees seal every crack with propolis and line the walls with it. It's their immune system. Kelulut (stingless-bee) propolis carries even more of the flavonoids and phenolic compounds that do the calming, protective work. The olive oil then carries those actives into the skin and seals moisture in behind them.

They come from the same hive, but they're completely different things. Honey is the food bees make and store. Propolis is the resin they gather from plants to build and defend the hive — sticky, waxy and rich in plant compounds. You eat the honey; the propolis is what protects the whole colony. EVOO+K uses the propolis, not the honey.

You're right to be cautious — this market has seen creams quietly spiked with steroids or even mercury, and they work fast until your skin pays for it later. EVOO+K takes the opposite path: three ingredients, all named on the box, with both the olive oil and the propolis sent to UKM's UNIPEQ lab and screened for heavy metals and microbes. It's KKM-notified under NOT260201200K. No shortcuts, nothing hidden.

It shouldn't. You only need a few drops — this is a small 10ml bottle of concentrated oil, not a heavy cream. The sunflower base is light, and olive oil's own squalene absorbs quickly, so it settles in rather than sitting on top. If your skin runs oily, keep it to the areas that need it and let it sink in before anything else.

Shake the bottle, put a few drops on clean skin, and spread it gently over the spot that needs it — morning and night. That's the whole routine, and it suits all skin types. Skin heals on its own timeline, so give it consistent weeks rather than expecting an overnight change. For external use only, and keep it away from your eyes.

Two scientists. Prof. Dr. Azizan Ahmad is a chemistry professor at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), with well over a hundred published papers, and he led the formulation for safety, stability and how well it works. Mohd Razif bin Mamat, a stingless-bee researcher, guided the kelulut propolis side. You can watch them explain it in their own words in the videos above.
