How it works
The Propolis Energy Boosting Essence is a 100ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The plant extract it is built around is Propolis Extract, named twelfth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water and Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Propolis Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the essence format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the essence By Wishtrend sells in Korea, Propolis Extract and all.
Key benefits
- Propolis Extract, the plant extract this essence is built around
- Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water, Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract and Morus Alba Bark Extract on the same list, plant extracts
- Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract and Honey Extract further down the same list
- Propolis Extract named twelfth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
- Original Korean Formula, the essence sold on Korean shelves
How to use
- Apply after toner and before moisturizer. Pat or smooth it over a cleansed face and let it absorb before the next step, AM and PM.
Where does this essence go in my routine?
After toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. Anything thinner than an essence goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Propolis Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market essence or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Propolis Extract and all. We match this essence to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Propolis Extract?
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water and Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract. The order they are printed in on this essence's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Propolis Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Morus Alba Bark Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract and Honey Extract.

Ingredient list read from jolse.com on 10 September 2026.
17 of 19 explained
- Aqua(Water) solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract(10%) plant extract
- Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics.
- Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water(9%) plant extract
- Cornflower distillate, a traditional eye-area ingredient in French pharmacy formulas. It stands in for part of the plain water.
- Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract(9%) plant extract
- Omija, the five-flavour berry of Korean tea and herbal practice. Its extract carries lignans and fruit acids and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract.
- Morus Alba Bark Extract(8.7%) plant extract
- White mulberry bark extract, one of the classic East Asian plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone. It carries mulberroside and flavonoids.
- Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract(8.7%) plant extract
- Nelumbo Nucifera is the sacred lotus. Its leaf extract carries flavonoids and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- Methylpropanediol humectant
- Methylpropanediol is a small glycol used to hydrate and to help water-soluble actives penetrate the outer layer of skin more evenly. It leaves almost no tack, which suits watery textures.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Propolis Extract(1%) plant extract
- Propolis is the resin bees collect from tree buds and use to seal the hive. It is rich in flavonoids, carries a warm amber colour and scent, and is used for the look of dull, stressed skin. It is a bee product, so it is worth knowing about if you react to those.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Benzyl Glycol preservative booster
- Benzyl Glycol is a solvent that also makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, so it appears in preservative blends built without parabens.
5 more explained
- Hydroxyethylcellulose thickener
- Hydroxyethylcellulose is a cellulose thickener that builds a clear, smooth gel and holds the rest of the formula in suspension.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
- Sodium Citrate pH adjuster
- Sodium Citrate is the salt of citric acid, used as a buffer: it holds a formula at a steady pH rather than pushing it in one direction. It is also a mild chelator.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.

Worth knowing
- Patch test this essence on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Propolis Extract on the list.
- Introduce this essence on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Propolis Extract rather than to three changes at once.
