Propolis drops: The liquid all-rounder from the beehive
Are you looking for natural support for your daily routine that comes straight from nature? Then propolis drops are just the thing for you. At bedrop, we bring this protective bee resin into a liquid form as propolis tincture so that you can dose and use it optimally.
What is propolis tincture actually?
Propolis is a fascinating natural product that is often referred to as "bee resin" or "bee putty". Bees collect resins from various trees and refine them with their own enzymes.
In the hive , propolis then serves as a natural protective shield to seal the hive from external influences and maintain a sterile environment for the entire colony.
We carefully extract these valuable ingredients into a solution so that you can easily use them as propolis drops with a pipette in your everyday life.

Propolis tincture: popular for ingestion or skin care
Bee propolis drops can be used in a variety of ways. ¹
Propolis for ingestion
Propolis drops for ingestion are a supplement for a conscious lifestyle. Many users appreciate the propolis tincture as a kind of cure to be taken over several weeks. During the cold season, for example, it is diluted in water, tea or honey.
- In water or tea: Simply add a few drops to a glass of water or lukewarm tea. This makes propolis easy to drink without the bitter taste becoming too dominant.
- On a spoonful of honey: The combination of honey and propolis drops is a classic. The honey softens the taste somewhat and provides additional bee power.
- In smoothies: You can simply mix a few drops of your propolis tincture into your smoothie for a morning kick.
Important: Be careful, propolis is not suitable for people with bee allergies or sensitivities to bee products.
Propolis tincture for skin care
The bee resin is also used for external skin care: whether as a topical support on affected areas of skin with specific skin needs or as an addition to your favorite cream: the propolis drops are a real all-rounder for a well-groomed skin feeling.

Tips for storing and using our propolis tincture
To ensure that your propolis drops retain their quality for a long time, you should keep a few things in mind:

Frequently asked questions and further information
Propolis is a natural resin produced by bees. It is known for its many nourishing properties and is often used to support well-being.
Propolis tincture can cause allergies in rare cases. Symptoms can include skin irritation, itching, swelling, breathing difficulties and, in the case of severe reactions, anaphylaxis. If in doubt, a doctor should be consulted.
Easy to dose and long-lasting, propolis tincture is a great addition to your medicine cabinet. Propolis drops can be used as supportive care for skin problems such as acne, but also as a soothing supplement for irritated gums and many other needs.
A propolis tincture can either be dripped onto the desired area of skin and massaged in or added to products such as your toothpaste or skin cream. For example, the drops can be used internally as oral care.
The term "tincture" is derived from the Latin word "tinctura" and stands for a liquid extract of a plant or raw materials from animals. The substances are added to an alcoholic solution (usually ethanol) for extraction so that they can infuse with each other. The alcohol dissolves the components of the substances or plants so that the substances and the water- and fat-soluble active ingredients they contain mix and merge. In addition to extraction, the alcohol naturally preserves the finished mixture and conserves it so that it lasts longer. The result is a suspension or tincture. A distinction is made between two forms of tincture:
- Tinctura simplex (simple tincture): This uses a plant or inorganic substance for the preparation.
- Tinctura composita (compound tincture): Different substances (herbal, inorganic) are combined for the production.
The forms of application are different and individual. For external use, they can be applied directly to the skin and rubbed in. Another form of application is to dilute it with other products so that it can be absorbed (e.g. mouthwash, toothpaste, creams, ointments, etc.).
Propolis is known as the bee resin that the bees use for insulation and repair work when building the hive. Propolis keeps out unwanted visitors and other insects. The seal prevents moisture and bacteria from entering the hive and the returning bees also use the propolis as a kind of disinfectant. By rubbing the propolis at the entrance, the bees are disinfected and the bacteria remain outside the hive. For this reason, propolis is said to have a disinfecting effect. The propolis produced by the bees also contains important nutrients such as calcium and zinc. The best known and therefore most practical form of propolis is tincture (propolis tincture). Many beekeepers who own their own hives are often unaware of the significance of the bee product propolis. In many cases, this bee resin plays too small a role alongside honey. The propolis produced by the bees is collected by the beekeeper so that it can be reused. Bee resin or propolis is a solid and slightly brittle product. To turn it into a propolis tincture, the organic substance must be extracted with ethanol. During extraction, the solid propolis is transformed with the alcohol into a suspension, the propolis tincture. This tincture contains the nutrients and active ingredients of the propolis. Most propolis tinctures are fitted with a pipette cap. The pipette enables dosing with drops. These drops are a great advantage for the propolis tincture, as the drops can be applied more precisely to the desired area and dosed better. You can buy propolis tincture in different sizes, and the percentage of propolis in the alcohol (ethanol) also varies. The best-known tinctures have a propolis content of 10%, 20% and 30%. You can buy 10% and organic 20% propolis tincture from us.
You can use propolis tincture for the following external applications as a nourishing, protective and natural support:
- Skin blemishes
- Skin irritations
- Eczema
- Gum irritation
