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.

SESAME OIL. Sesame oil has a long tradition in Ayurvedic medicine and is used for Ayurvedic massages and detoxification treatments. It easily penetrates the skin and is a good carrier oil for the introduction of functional ingredients into the skin.

Has an exceptional ability to penetrate the skin and to nourish different skin layers. Avocado oil can promote cell regeneration and is frequently used for dry, barrier-damaged skin.

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.

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.

LECITHIN. Lecithins are natural elements of cell membranes. Lecithins are characterized by a large functional spectrum, they act as functional ingredients, caring and refatting lipids and also as skin-analogue emulsifiers. Applied to the skin, they are restructured by the body's own enzymes and used as building blocks for ceramides and cell membranes. A very important function is to promote the penetration depth of functional ingredients.

It can increase collagen production, reduce hyperpigmentation and is also said to have a smoothing effect and prevent skin aging.
