Propolis is a natural resin created by bees from tree buds, plant resins, and wax. They use it to seal and protect the hive — nature’s own antimicrobial barrier. It’s rich in antioxidants and flavonoids that help defend and repair.

Propolis varies depending on the region where bees live and the plants they collect resin from. Each landscape gives it a distinct chemical fingerprint and potency.

• Brazilian Green Propolis — Found primarily in the Minas Gerais region of southeastern Brazil, where Africanized honeybees gather resin from the native Baccharis dracunculifolia shrub (known locally as alecrim-do-campo). This resin yields a distinctive green hue and exceptionally high levels of Artepillin-C, a compound extensively studied for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and immune-supportive activity. It’s sourced from remote, pesticide-free fields, making it one of the purest and most potent forms of propolis in the world.
  
• Red Propolis — Originating mainly from northeastern Brazil and Cuba, this rarer form comes from resins collected from Dalbergia ecastaphyllum, a coastal mangrove plant. It has a deep red tone and a unique concentration of isoflavonoids, compounds known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
  
• Brown or European Propolis — Common across Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia, this traditional variety is typically derived from poplar trees. It has a more resinous aroma, milder taste, and balanced antioxidant profile — protective, yet less concentrated than its Brazilian counterparts.
  
  Not all propolis is the same in strength or composition and that’s precisely what makes Brazilian Green Propolis so prized worldwide.

In Brazil, nearly all honeybees are now Africanized hybrids, which tend to collect more propolis and adapt more aggressively to environmental stresses.

Our propolis is harvested deep in the Minas Gerais region, one of the only places in the world where bees gather resin from Baccharis dracunculifolia (alecrim-do-campo), a plant native to that area.

This unique flora yields a green-hued resin with high concentrations of Artepillin-C, prized for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and immune-supportive properties.

Because of the remote, pesticide-free locations and careful sustainable harvests, Brazilian Green Propolis stands as a gold standard — rare, pure, and scientifically revered.

Studies on Brazilian Green Propolis, the most researched variety, show it may support immune defense, soothe the throat, and calm inflammation thanks to its high concentration of Artepillin-C.

Clinical trials on the standardized extract EPP-AF® have explored its potential to modulate the immune response and reduce the clinical impact of viral infections, including COVID-19.

Recent reviews also highlight its emerging role in tissue repair, metabolic balance, and overall cellular protection, reinforcing why this rare green propolis is considered one of nature’s most powerful daily protectors.

PALO’s Propolis Spray is naturally potent and its taste reflects its purity and strength.

At first, you’ll notice a spicy, resinous bite with a subtle numbing sensation — proof of its high concentration of active compounds. Then comes a clean finish with notes of honey and peppermint that soften the intensity.

Unlike the sugar-coated throat sprays found everywhere, this is the real deal: a concentrated, Brazilian Green Propolis formula crafted to deliver genuine potency, not sweetness. It’s nature’s power, unfiltered and alive.

Propolis is generally well-tolerated, but it’s a potent, concentrated formula, not a sugar-coated spray.

Avoid use if you have bee or pollen allergies, or if you’re prone to skin sensitivities, eczema, or psoriasis, as propolis can trigger reactions in some people.

If you’re pregnant, nursing, or on medication, it’s best to consult your healthcare professional before use.

Studies show that consistent intake of essential micronutrients can support immunity, energy metabolism, and skin health, especially when dietary intake is low. PALO ESSENTIAL uses clinically backed nutrients in forms the body can absorb and use efficiently.
