Propolis Extract for Throat Spray Formulations

Regarding your questions about Propolis Extract:

• Solubility and Forms: MySkinRecipes offers Propolis Extract in various forms, including water-soluble liquid types such as "Propolis Extract (Liquid, Water-Soluble)" and "Propolis Extract (Liquid, Water-Soluble, High Flavonoids)". There is also a non-water-soluble type, "Bee Propolis Extract (10% Flavonoids)", which is likely a powder or resin form.
• Use in Throat Spray: Propolis is well-known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Due to these benefits, it is commonly used in oral care products like mouthwash and toothpaste to help maintain gum health and combat oral infections. While the descriptions don't specifically mention throat sprays, its use in other oral applications suggests it could be suitable for such formulations, leveraging its beneficial properties for the throat and mouth.
• Comparison to General Throat Sprays: Propolis is a widely recognized ingredient in oral health products. The Propolis Extracts available from MySkinRecipes possess the key properties (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory) that make propolis a popular choice for oral applications, including those found in some commercial throat sprays.

When formulating, it is important to select the appropriate type of Propolis Extract based on your desired solubility and concentration of active compounds (like flavonoids). The water-soluble liquid forms would generally be easier to incorporate into liquid formulations like throat sprays.
