This thin film *is* almost all the propolis which is quasi-insoluble
in water the whitish = some colloidal particles of propolis which form
an emulsion.
Don't forget : propolis is only soluble in organic solvents as
methanol ethanol, DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), ether, etc. Only few
components are soluble in common water
==> but it is freely soluble in water, ** at high pH **
It is thus soluble in
1. ammonia, washing soda, and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions,
2. tri-sodium phosphate solutions = okay to remove it from fingers,
clothes, glasses, etc [use the powder directly onto the propolis and
remove the whole stuff with ordinary soap or detergent]
3. dish-washer detergents because their high pH.

I don't know ...
but seems it may be emulsified by the digestion elements. And later :
cells membranes interactions ... membranes incorporation or
phagocytosis : it's a physiologist problem ...
