I’ve been getting reactions from my beard balm, and I think it’s the propolis. Anyone else dealt with this? What products do you use that are propolis-free?
If you suspect propolis, check for cross-reactive ingredients like Balsam of Peru or cinnamic alcohol, which can trigger similar reactions. Look for beard balms labeled “propolis-free” or opt for simple formulations with minimal ingredients to reduce risk.
Patch test first—some balms hide propolis under “bee products” label.
