ROYAL JELLY JAFRA
2:50 PM
Royal Jelly is the crown jewel of JAFRA. Intriguing,
powerful and infinitely rejuvenating, the ingredient royal jelly is one of
nature’s best-kept secrets. Jan and Frank Day, founders of JAFRA Cosmetics
International, were in search of something unique to be the “star” ingredient
of their first product. Their research drew them to ancient cultures, where
they discovered that royal jelly had been admired for centuries due to its
invigorating and rejuvenating properties.
The first records took them back to the Far East.
They learned that royal jelly was used by women in China as an important part
of their daily beauty regimen. In ancient Egypt, the royal jelly honey was
considered a “sacred youth elixir” and was offered to the pharaoh and his
queen. In Greece, it was called the “God’s ambrosia” for Olympic Athletes,
while Mayans referred to royal jelly as the “tonic of the youth.”
What makes royal jelly such a complex and potent
ingredient?
Royal jelly has always been the food of the queen
bee. Interestingly, queen bees are not born, but rather made from the
nutritious properties of royal jelly. Royal jelly is secreted by nurse bees and
fed only to the queen. On average, queen bees are 42% larger, live 70 to 80
times longer than worker bees and produce more than 2 ½ times their own body
weight in eggs every day. Their extraordinary reproductive fertility, energy,
size and longevity are believed to be due to royal jelly.
Jan and Frank were intrigued by royal jelly and
excitedly continued their research, which ultimately led to the creation of the
original classic “Royal Jelly Milk Balm.” The formula was a major success
because of its high efficacy, Jan’s enthusiasm and the story behind the
product. Royal jelly became the star ingredient and Royal Jelly Milk Balm
became JAFRA’s signature product.
Pragna Chakravarti, Chief Scientific Officer,
discusses the formula: “What makes the royal jelly ingredient mysterious is
that over the years, scientists around the world have tried to duplicate and
synthesize it in the laboratory. They have been partially successful in
matching about 90 to 95% of its natural composition. In its pure natural state,
it cannot yet be 100% duplicated by scientists. At JAFRA, this triggered
further scientific research over the last several years on pure royal jelly and
its synergy with Youth Genes (Sirtuin Activators) in skin care. The
extraordinary findings from the studies conducted, in collaboration with
research in Switzerland, resulted in the creation of JAFRA’s exclusive Royal
Jelly infused Cellspan Complex used today in Royal Jelly Milk Balm Advanced and
featured across the entire Royal Jelly line of products.”
