Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The benefits of beehive products for skin care and wound healing have led to a long history of usage in traditional medicine and their recent acknowledgment in modern medicine. Honey, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom are the principal products of beehives that are utilized for various uses.
Products made from beehives have several medicinal qualities that make them useful for skin care and wound healing. Their moisturizing, antioxidant, and anti-aging capabilities improve the health and appearance of skin, while their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative qualities aid in the effective healing of wounds.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the qualities of these natural ingredients to create medicinal and cosmetic formulations that offer natural and effective remedies for a range of skin and wound-related problems.
