- Product Highlights
Propolis is a mixture of substances secreted by bees in order to protect them from exogenous factors like:
- Bacteria and microorganisms
- Oxidizing agents
- Ultraviolet radiations
COBIOCARE contains a bio-active polyphenolic combination which reaches up to 15% in bioflavonoids and phenolic acids, with extraordinary antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
The polyphenols portion is the responsible for the protection from exogenous agents. Our research has focused precisely on that part, investigating on possible similarities between the positive effects registered in the vegetable kingdom and the cosmetic efficacy: Biomimicry concept.
Among them there are Apigenin, Chrysin, Galangin, Pinocembrin, Pinobanksin, and Quercetin.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Properties
1) In-VIVO Test: Anti-pollution
4% COBIOCARE cream was tested on 20 volunteers in 3 different areas on forearm: 1 area is treated with the cream, 1 with placebo, 1 non-treated, exposed to 4-5 μm Carbon black powder to measure its antipollution efficacy:
% Black Spots Removed after wash
Based on its bactericidal activity, several In-vivo tests on its deodorizing activity and acneic lesion reduction were performed:
2) In-VIVO Test: Deodorizing Power
- 20 subjects panel
- Observations at 8h and 24h
- Application of a deodorant containing 1,5% COBIOCARE
- Clinical evaluation by experts on the base of a scale from 0 to 5, (corresponding to different odor perceptions).
- Asymmetrical application (treated armpit/ non-treated)
COBIOCARE showed an odor reduction of 61%.
Objective Evaluation
3) In-VIVO Test: Reduction of acneic lesion
COBIOCARE showed a decrease of 60% in acneic lesions:
- 34 volunteers with Acne-Prone Skin.
- Application of 4% COBIOCARE emulsion vs placebo
- IGA-FDA 0-4 Acne Severity scale was used:0 = skin without lesions, 4= severe acne.
