Hyaluronic Moisturizing Body Cream

WATER. Water positively supports the moisture content of the skin and is used to dissolve vegetable ingredients. The quality of the water is regularly checked for physical and microbiological values.

CAMELLIA SINENSIS. Is derived from the leaves of the tea plant. It is rich in antioxidants and also contains caffeine as well as other health-promoting compounds such as theanine and polyphenols. In the cosmetic industry, Camellia Sinensis is often used as an ingredient in skin care products because it has soothing, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties. Camellia Sinensis can also be used in hair care products to strengthen the hair and improve hair health.

C15-19 ALKANE (EMOLLIENT). This emmolient, which is obtained from oil-containing plants, contains carbon chains (=alkane) with a length of 15-19 atoms. It is a natural alternative to silicones, it is quickly absorbed and leaves a smooth skin feeling.

GYLCERINE (SUGAR ALCOHOL). Glycerin occurs in nature as a component of fats (triglycerides = glycerin with 3 fatty acids). It is a natural component of our Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) of the skin and is present as part of the storage fat in plants. Glycerin binds water and can thus promote the skin's moisture. A well moisturized skin ages more slowly and is better protected against environmental influences.

ALOE VERA. Miracle plant Aloe Vera. Has a cooling, calming, moisturizing effect, supports the skin's self-healing powers and its high antioxidant content protects against free radicals.

SUNFLOWER OIL. Oil from the sunflower seeds, its name comes from its ability to turn its flower head towards the sun. Due to its high content of linoleic acid, it is a light, non-sticky and caring oil. The contained vitamin E has an antioxidant effect.

COCO-CAPRYLATE (EMOLLIENT). A fast-spreading, refatting emollient of natural origin that leaves the skin feeling silky smooth and soft.

CETEARYL ALCOHOL (FATTY ALCOHOL). Mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohol, these are fatty alcohols, which are produced by the reduction of the corresponding fatty acids. A very common ingredient of cosmetic formulas, which gives the skin a pleasantly soft feeling and supports the formation of emulsions in the product. It also has a moisturizing effect and is supposed to smooth the skin.

ALMOND OIL. Almond oil is a highly digestible oil and is therefore recommended for all skin types. Due to the spectrum of fatty acids rich in oleic acid, almond oil is absorbed well and deeply and can thus increase the penetration of other functional ingredients.

JOJOBA OIL. Jojoba is a drought-resistant, evergreen shrub that is native to the deserts of Mexico and the southern regions of the USA. Chemically speaking, the raw material is a liquid wax. In contrast to oils, where fatty acids together with glycerin form the fatty components, waxes contain fatty acids combined with a fatty alcohol. These wax esters are very similar to human skin sebum and are therefore optimally mixed with it, creating a delicate, non-sealing lipid film. This keeps the skin moist without sealing it. A further effect is the increase of the skin's elasticity, as the jojoba oil spreads well within the cornea. The raw material is also ideal for impure skin. The jojoba oil is a true all-rounder.

HYALURONIC ACID. Hyaluronic acid is a compound of proteins and polysaccharides. Hyaluronic acid is a physiological component of the extracellular skeletal substance of the dermis connective tissue and forms the skin's moisture depot. Our hyaluronic acid is obtained biotechnologically by fermentation. Depending on the length of the chain, the hyaluronic acid penetrates the skin in different depths and accordingly fulfils the function of binding moisture in the different skin layers. Wrinkles can so be smoothed, the skin appears fresh and firm.

ROSE HIP KERNEL OIL. Wild rose oil is extracted from the kernels of rose hips and has a high content of alpha-linolenic acid and transretinoic acid, a precursor of vitamin A, which supports collagen formation. Due to its valued effect for skin regeneration, it is used especially for dry, flaky skin. Wild rose oil is also used to care for mature and inflammatory skin.

APPLE EXTRACT. Extract from the apple fruit. Rich in proteins, starch, acids, vitamins and salts. Contained antioxidants protect against free radicals, vitamin C is important for cell regeneration. Polysaccharides support a well moisturized and healthy skin.

PRICKLY PEAR (STEM). Extract from the leaves (trunks) of the prickly pear cultivated in Sicily. The gel contained within has been traditionally used on the skin as an anti-redness, moisturizing and wound healing agent. Scientific studies have shown that these effects are due to certain polysaccharides in the gel, which have shown a very similar effect to hyaluronic acid.

XANTHAN GUM. One of the most commonly used thickeners and emulsion stabilizers. Completely natural ingredient produced by fermentation.

HOP. The hop is known for its role in beer brewing. In cosmetics, it fulfills its function as a strong antioxidant and so it protects the product and the skin from free radicals.

ROSEMARY (LEAVES). Extract of rosemary. The main functional ingredient is rosemary acid, a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.

ERYTHRITOL (SUGAR ALCOHOL). Is obtained from the reduction of sugar and binds moisture in the skin.

XYLITGLUCOSIDE. This sugar alcohol is similar to Xylitol and is a multifunctional moisturizer for the skin.

ANHYDROXYLITOL. Anhydroxylitol is extracted from the sugar alcohol xylitol, which is obtained from the biotechnological fermentation of various plants (e.g. cereals and wood). The active substance has hydrating properties on the skin.

GLUCOSE (SUGAR). Plant-based substance with water-binding properties. Helps to keep the skin beautiful and hydrated.

XYLITOL. Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol and can be found in many fruits and vegetables, as well as in the bark of some wood species, including birch bark. Xylitol has a moisturizing effect on the skin.

TOCOPHEROL. Vitamin E is the most important fat-soluble antioxidant and is found in many plant-based oils as a protection against oxidation. By intercepting the harmful free radicals, tocopherol prevents the oxidation of the lipids in the product as well as those of the skin's membrane lipids. Wound healing can be positively supported and the skin appears smooth and healthy.
