Unusual cosmetics? Those with bee venom! How they work, which ones to choose
curated by Alyssa Viola
This trend was born a few years ago and, if at first it might seem like just the umpteenth beautystraneness, and therefore destined to disappear, has actually proved to be a decidedly valid trend, based on a very simple and natural principle.
No bees are killed
Bee venom cosmetics truly contain it.
But don't worry: it is obtained in an absolutely safe and non-bloody way: inside the hive, in a controlled beekeeping environment, a small metal plate is inserted, which emits a very light electric discharge, almost imperceptible, but sufficient to alarm the bees, which by defensive reaction sting it.
The metal surface, however, is not penetrable by the sting, which remains well attached to the abdomen of the bee (saving its life), while secreting the precious poison, which remains attached to the plate and will subsequently be collected for processing in the laboratory.

What, then, are the properties of bee venom?
There melitin, which is the main component, conveyed in a cream is able to deceive the skin and trigger some skin mechanisms as if it had actually been stung by a bee: it increases the blood flow to the treated area, with a increase in the production of collagen and elastin, the two substances that create a sort of support framework for the skin.
The result is a brighter, younger and smoother skin, naturally thanks to the pool of active ingredients that are combined from time to time in the various formulations on the market.
That's not all: given the enormous global success that anti-aging treatments for the face have achieved, it was rightly thought to apply the properties of bee venom also to body formulas, with the spectacular result of obtaining anti-cellulite and toning creams. with remarkable effectiveness.
Another less aesthetic and more medical use is in the treatment of joint diseases, such as arthrosis, but also of rheumatism. It seems that one of the first to use an ointment containing bee venom was none other than Charlemagne ...
