How royal jelly helps scarred skin

If you have scarred skin, it looks like the best thing to treat it with is royal jelly.

According to Science Alert, for thousands of years, honey has been prized for its topical antiseptic properties. But now researchers have discovered that its lesser-known cousin, royal jelly, has special molecules that speed up wound healing.

Royal jelly is the superfood worker bees secrete and feed all their larvae, especially the queen bees. While queens are developing, they basically float in a pool of this stuff, and humans have figured out how to stimulate queen larva production to then harvest the royal jelly.

The milky white, sticky substance is one of those bee-derived products you can find in many health food shops, although evidence for royal jelly as a beneficial food supplement is extremely limited.

But there is some evidence that it is both antiseptic and promotes wound healing, and scientists have been wondering why that’s the case.

Now a team led by researchers from the Slovak Academy of Sciences have finally discovered the molecule in royal jelly that helps certain skin cells to reorganise themselves and close over a wound.

When skin is damaged, two main types of cells need to spring into action. These are fibroblasts and keratinocytes, which kick in to produce molecules that speed up the proliferation of new cells the skin can use to repair the damage.
