THE STORY
A glow that penetrates into the skin.
Propolis is what bees use to seal and protect the hive — antibacterial, rich in flavonoids, traditionally used in Korean medicine for wound recovery. Beauty of Joseon packs it at 60% concentration here, layered with 2% niacinamide for tone evenness. The texture is unusual: lightweight but slightly tacky-rich, the way honey would feel if it were a serum. Press it in — don't rub — and it sinks. We tested it through Singapore's wet-season afternoons; no pilling under sunscreen, no stickiness through the day. It became the answer to 'I've tried every serum and my skin still looks dull.'
