Stingless bee produce is not only their nectar or honey but also other interesting
products such as a range of cosmeceutical products. When searching for food, stingless
bees collect pollen, nectar, oil, water, resin, muds and sand particles. Their products
are known with effective in body health and skin care. Stingless bees require a certain
season for the production of honey and as a result, income for this industry is quiet
limited. However, not much research on formulation cosmetic products using stingless
bees-based product such as soaps and lotions that is already exist in the market. This
study was conducted to examine the physicochemical properties of soap and lotion
using stingless bee’s propolis, bee bread and honey and also the formula used to make
soap and lotion using stingless bee’s product. This study will also provide information
on the physicochemical properties, formulation and also preference of consumers
toward the products.
