Our Story: Friends, Partners, Propolux
Aslı and Burcu’s journey began years ago, founded on a strong friendship and a shared vision for meaningful work. Both driven by curiosity and a desire to create something valuable, they often explored ideas that blended innovation with purpose.
Their entrepreneurial spirit kept them searching for ways to develop products that could truly make a difference. This journey took a significant turn when they crossed paths with Professor Ibrahim Palabiyik. His groundbreaking research and dedication to natural wellness left a lasting impression on them.
Prof. Dr. Ibrahim’s work with propolis, a remarkable natural substance known for its powerful antibacterial and antioxidant properties, sparked a deep sense of inspiration. Aslı, with her background in biology, immediately recognized the immense potential of this natural ingredient. Meanwhile, Burcu’s expertise in business management provided the strategic framework to transform this inspiration into a tangible reality.
Motivated by Professor Ibrahim’s innovative approach to propolis extraction using lactic acid, they knew they had discovered something truly special. Unlike traditional methods that risk compromising the purity and potency of propolis, this new technique ensured maximum bioavailability and effectiveness. It was a breakthrough that resonated with Aslı and Burcu’s shared values: creating safe, natural, and effective products that enhance well-being.
With Professor Ibrahim’s invaluable expertise and Aslı and Burcu’s entrepreneurial drive, Propolux was born — a brand built on the foundation of friendship, trust, and a commitment to improving lives through nature and science. Together, they have created products designed to empower individuals on their journey to better health, naturally.
Meet Our Scientist: Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Palabiyik
A dedicated scientist in the field of food engineering, Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Palabiyik has spent his career exploring natural ingredients and their potential to support human health. His fascination with propolis began with its incredible antibacterial and antioxidant properties, unlike anything he had encountered before.
“Propolis is a remarkable natural gift,” says Prof. Dr. Ibrahim. “Its complex structure is impossible to replicate, and bees instinctively collect it as if guided by nature itself.”
Determined to unlock propolis’ full potential, Prof. Dr. Ibrahim focused on developing a safe and effective extraction method. After extensive research, he identified lactic acid as the ideal solvent — a natural compound that preserves the integrity of propolis while ensuring optimal absorption by the human body.
This discovery marked a pivotal moment, but Prof. Dr. Ibrahim’s dedication didn’t stop there. Through ongoing research and scientific validation, he continues to push the boundaries of propolis science, committed to harnessing this powerful ingredient for the benefit of human health.
Soon after, Aytül Almeda joined the team, bringing her expertise in sales and marketing. As a trusted business partner, Aytül plays a vital role in expanding Propolux’s reach and connecting more people with natural wellness solutions.
Propolux proudly offers products that combine nature’s wisdom with cutting-edge science. Each bottle embodies the dedication, expertise, and passion that Aslı, Burcu, Aytul, and Professor Ibrahim share.
