Hi friends!! You've probably heard the term "royal jelly" tossed about in one way or another, as a fabulous miracle supplement, or a placebo-ish marketing tool, or as dangerous in high doses. If you're wondering what this polarizing stuff is, it is a honey bee secretion known within the species for its nutritional and fertility enhancing properties, used to feed larvae and develop a new queen. Its popularity as a human supplement and beauty product additive have waxed and waned since the late 1950s, though per WebMD.com, amongst other sites, there is very little viable scientific information on how well royal jelly actually works in humans.
The claims on royal jelly in skincare are that the vitamins and nutrients therein aid in moisturizing, protection, and collagen production/anti aging. Those who tout the substance say it is most effective fresh and in its purest form, used topically, and should be either refrigerated or frozen to maintain potency (per royaljellyinfo.com). So how does a shelf stable, luxury skincare product that lists royal jelly as its twelfth ingredient stack up to claims scientifically dubious, at best?
