Bee-Derieved
Active Ingredients
Agapie develops and supplies selected bee-derived active ingredients for cosmetic, dermaceutical and pharmaceutical research applications.
Agapie is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of bee-derived active ingredients for professional cosmetic, dermaceutical and pharmaceutical applications.
Our production is rooted in the untouched hinterland of Croatia, far from industrialized areas and the tourist-driven Adriatic coast. This region is characterized by pristine nature, rich biodiversity and a wide variety of wildflowers — creating exceptional conditions for healthy, resilient bee colonies.
Bees are the most valuable asset of our work.
Through ethical beekeeping, gentle non-lethal harvesting and responsible processing, Agapie focuses on the reliable production of highly complex raw materials — including bee venom, propolis and royal jelly — with defined stability, purity and batch consistency.
Agapie provides a dependable ingredient source for partners who require quality, traceability and responsibility in regulated and research-driven environments.
Active ingredients derived from bees are among the most biologically active and valuable natural substances. At Agapie, we approach them with the responsibility, precision and scientific mindset required for professional cosmetic and pharmaceutical use.
Our work and vision cover the entire value chain:
This holistic approach ensures the highest quality, transparency, traceability, and long-term stable quality.
Agapie’s production is located in the untouched hinterland of Croatia, a region characterized by high biodiversity and a wide variety of wildflowers.
These natural conditions support healthy, resilient bee colonies and form the basis for high-quality bee-derived raw materials.
Bee welfare is central to our approach.
Our bees are kept under low-stress conditions and, when seasonal support is required, are fed exclusively with their own honey. Industrial sugar feeding is deliberately avoided.
This combination of favorable natural conditions and ethical beekeeping ensures responsible sourcing and consistent ingredient quality.
Agapie focuses on a selected portfolio of bee-derived actives, developed for demanding professional applications.
Bee venom, known technically as apitoxin, is a highly pure active ingredient used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. It is characterized by a complex profile of proteins, peptides, and enzymes that are specifically used to promote skin regeneration and inhibit inflammation.
Propolis, also known as “bee resin” or “sealing resin,” is a highly effective natural resin that is valued in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries as a versatile organic raw material. It serves as a natural “protective shield” against pathogens in the beehive.
Also known as “queen bee food” or “royal jelly,” this is the exclusive elixir of the beehive. As a highly concentrated raw material, it is widely used in high-end cosmetics and pharmaceuticals due to its unique biological composition.
