Vi är själva för små för att ge oss på att driva egna vetenskapliga studier kring humlens egenskaper. Humlen är i vår hudvård för människor mest en "nice to have", och vi hävdar inte att just vår hudvård på något sätt skulle bota något.
Däremot är det väldigt spännande att läsa om vad vetenskapen hittar för framtida medicinska möjligheter med humlen som ingrediens. Vi har samlat ihop ett antal studier för den som är intresserad av att fördjupa sig. Viktigt att komma ihåg är att en studie inte är hela sanningen, att bara för att något funkar i ett visst sammanhang, i ett labb, så betyder det inte att det fungerar i människokroppen och andra sammanhang.
Men som sagt, spännande läsning för den som är intresserad!
