Bee venom fools the skin into thinking it's been stung by the toxin melittin. This toxin causes the body to direct blood into area which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, particularly in menopausal skin.
Due to bee venom's anti-bacterial properties, you will soon be able to find it in everything from cleansing and moisturizing products. Plus, because of its ability to restore and plump, you will also be able to find it in eye creams to deminish dark circles and give you that "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" look.
As you know, Scandle is dedicated to cruelty-free products. So, of course, we were concerned that such a product could cause a threat to the bee population. As it turns out, no bees are actually harmed in the making of these products! Venom is extracted using a glass surface know as a collector and is place along side the gate of the hive and features a weak electrical current. The current ever so gently encourages bees to sting a surface they can't penetrate, meaning their abdomens stay intact and they continue living a bee-autiful life!;)
