philosophy
Röösli relies entirely on the power of bees. That is our philosophy.

The core ingredients of our cosmetics and bee products and what you need to know about their effects
Honey: Honey consists of around 80% sugar and also contains natural enzymes, proteins and minerals. The high sugar content in honey binds moisture, which is why it has a moisture-retaining effect on the skin. In this way, cosmetics with honey can plump the skin and reduce wrinkles when used regularly. The secondary plant substances it contains, the polyphenols, support the process by catching free radicals and in this way provide additional protection against skin aging. Due to the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of the enzymes contained in honey, cosmetics containing honey are often used to care for irritated skin. As a result, bee honey has become established as a natural additive in the cosmetics industry.
Beeswax : The wax is produced by bees using their abdominal glands and is used to form honeycombs. Compared to fats and oils, beeswax is harder, more porous and less oily. As a result, it forms a light waxy protective film on the skin and thus retains additional moisture. Cosmetics containing beeswax also have a pleasant cooling effect when applied. The use of products with beeswax is particularly suitable for dry and cracked skin.
Propolis: The name propolis comes from Greek and means “in front of the city”, which best describes its effect: protection against any intruders. The bees collect plant resins from the region and mix them with wax and their own secretions, creating natural propolis. It serves to seal the beehive and protects against fungal and mold infestation. Propolis therefore has an anti-inflammatory and revitalizing effect and strengthens the immune system. It is not for nothing that it is often referred to as the strongest natural antibiotic.
Royal jelly: Royal jelly, also known as queen food juice or royal jelly, is a secretion that worker bees secrete. It owes its name to its function in nature: it serves as the sole food for the queen bee. Royal jelly consists of 70% water and contains a variety of ingredients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. As a result of its strengthening composition, queen bees grow faster and live longer than the worker bees in a bee colony. And royal jelly also has a health-promoting effect on humans. It stimulates oxygen absorption in muscles and tissue, strengthens the immune system and supports regeneration processes.
