Can I use this cream if I am sensitive to bee products? — Foot Cream for Cracked Heels 44 g - FITODOCTOR

Propolis is one of the key ingredients of this cream. If you have a known sensitivity or allergy to bee products — honey, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax — do not use the cream: the label prohibits use in case of intolerance to any of its ingredients. If you simply do not know how your skin will react, it is worth doing a test on a small area of skin before full use.

For the test, apply a small amount of the cream to the inside of your wrist or elbow and wait 24 hours. If redness, itching or irritation appears, it is better not to use the product.

Besides propolis, the stated ingredients include allantoin and violet extract. Allantoin is widely used in cosmetics for sensitive skin and is well tolerated by most people, but an individual reaction to any ingredient is possible.

If you have doubts about whether the ingredients suit your skin, or if you have a chronic skin condition, it is best to consult a dermatologist before use. The cream is for external use only; avoid contact with the eyes.
