FAQs

What is propolis and why is it used in lip care?
+

Propolis is a natural resinous compound collected and produced by honeybees from plant resins and tree buds, mixed with beeswax and bee secretions. Bees use it within the hive as a structural sealant and natural antimicrobial protective agent. In skincare and traditional medicine, propolis extract has been valued for thousands of years for its protective, soothing, and skin-comforting properties. In this lip ointment, it provides the formula's core protective character, supporting the delicate skin of the lips and surrounding area when they need soothing care.

Is this safe to use if I am allergic to bee stings?
+

If you have a known allergy to bee stings, bee venom, or bee products generally, you should consult your GP or pharmacist before using any product containing propolis. Whilst topical use of propolis is very different from a bee sting, cross-reactivity is possible in individuals with significant bee allergies. Pearl Chemist Group's pharmacy team are well placed to advise on suitability based on your specific allergy history.

Is this suitable for vegans?
+

No. This product contains propolis, which is produced by bees and is therefore an animal-derived ingredient. It is not suitable for those following a vegan lifestyle. If you are looking for a vegan alternative for lip care, please speak with our pharmacy team for recommendations from our wider lip care range.

How quickly does this ointment work?
+

The soothing and comforting effect on the lip area is typically noticed relatively quickly after application, particularly the calming of discomfort and redness. As a cosmetic ointment, its effectiveness depends on consistent and frequent application throughout the day — applying once and expecting lasting results will be less effective than reapplying every two to three hours. Early and consistent use from the first sign of lip or perioral discomfort is the recommended approach for the best result.

Can I use this as a general lip balm as well as for specific discomfort?
+

Yes. Whilst this ointment is particularly valued for its use when the lip area needs soothing and protective care, it can also be used as a general protective lip treatment for dry, chapped, or exposed lips. The propolis, melissa, and chamomile combination is beneficial for lip skin comfort in a general sense, not only when there is a specific concern. Many people find it a reassuring everyday companion to carry for year-round lip care.

Should I consult a pharmacist before purchasing this product?
+

If you have any known allergies to bee products, pollen, or plants from the Asteraceae family (which includes chamomile), yes — please speak with one of our pharmacists before purchasing. If you are experiencing persistent, severe, or unusual lip or perioral symptoms that are not resolving, a pharmacist consultation is always worthwhile to ensure you are using the most appropriate product for your needs and to rule out any situation that warrants clinical attention.
