About VOLUPROPOL™ — Propolis-Powered Natural Care, Backed by Science

VOLUPROPOL™ is a premium natural-care brand by The European Hair Factory Inc. (TEHFI) and HEADS by volu-med™ (Schöne Haare GmbH, Germany).

Developed in the Philippines and refined to European cosmetic standards, we bridge nature, science, and craftsmanship to offer an advanced line of propolis-based scalp, hair, skin, and nail care products.

From the Philippine Rainforest to Your Routine

Our star ingredient, propolis, comes from stingless bees (Tetragonula) native to the Bicol rainforest. Their propolis has not only been found to support hair growth, but is also naturally rich in polyphenols and flavonoids—compounds known for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and soothing properties.

We standardize this propolis to craft VOLUPROPOL™ in small batches, delivering it through clinic-grade rituals (in-salon microneedling) and at-home care.

It’s luxury natural science, built on generations of Filipino beekeeping knowledge and refined for modern confidence.

The Science Behind VOLUPROPOL™

We keep our claims cosmetic, but our inspiration is rooted in published research. Here’s what modern studies show about propolis:

  1. Supports the hair's growth phase — Stingless-bee propolis promotes hair growth by stimulating the development of hair follicles via activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. (Propolis for Hair Growth)
  2. Rebalances the scalp microbiome — Propolis has shown to inhibit Malassezia globosa, a yeast linked to dandruff and scalp irritation.(Antimicrobial Activity of Propolis)
  3. Calms visible skin irritation — Propolis contains Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE), which helps modulate NF-κB, a key pathway involved in skin responses, supporting a calmer, healthier-looking complexion. (Evidence for Anti-Inflammatory Effects)
  4. Provides anti-fungal support for clearer-looking nails — A topical propolis extract showed a 56% clearance rate in a 6-month onychomycosis series (cosmetic support). (Nail Study)
