Hellenic beauty brand Apivita, which is known for formulating most of its products with propolis, turns 35 this month.

Propolis is a dark brown resin-like material that bees produce to protect their hives. It has antiseptic, antioxidant and anti-fungal properties.

To mark the occasion, Apivita, which roughly means "life of the bee" in Latin, will be holding special promotions till April 20. For example, spend at least $135 and receive a limited-edition 35 Year Anniversary box comprising a Propolis Lip Care balm, 5ml vials of the Hydration and Radiance Serums, as well as shampoo, conditioner, night and eye cream samples.

Spend $300 and stand to win a full-sized Apivita product, or even a bottle of Greek wine, in a lucky dip.
