Vegan and allergy notes

Royal jelly is not vegan. Some people are sensitive to bee products, so consider a note on the pack and run tolerance tests.

Hive collections

Royal jelly, honey and propolis together make a strong hive story. Gold packaging and hexagon shapes support the theme.

Odor and color

Royal jelly extracts can add a light color and a characteristic sour-sweet scent. Adjust fragrance and check color under light.

Testing

Run stability at room temperature, 40 °C and under light, checking pH, color and odor.

Packaging

Airless pumps and opaque jars protect the extract.

Batch quality

Keep the CoA for each lot and store retained samples.

Range planning

A cream, a serum and a hand cream form a hive line.

Preservation

Natural extracts rich in proteins and sugars need a robust preservative system. Confirm with a challenge test.

Routine guidance

Serum and cream morning and evening, hand cream as needed, mask once a week for hair.

Gifting

Hive products make strong holiday and Mother's Day gift sets.
