Barrier Restoring Rich Cream ⁰¹

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.

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 raw material of natural origin and a natural alternative to silicones. It absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth skin feel.

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.

OLIVE OIL (UNSAPONIFIED). Residue from the olive oil, which remains as unsaponifiables during the saponification of olive oil fatty acids. These include vitamins and phenols, which have a strong antioxidant effect.

RICE BRAN WAX. Rice bran wax, is a plant-based wax extracted from rice bran. It is a solid, white substance with a high melting point. It forms a protective film on the skin, preserving moisture and shielding the skin from harmful environmental factors, resulting in soft and smooth skin.

POLYGLYCERYL-3 POLYRICINOLEATE (EMULSIFIER). Vegetable emulsifier produced from glycerin and ricinoleic acid.

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

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.

SUNFLOWER OIL ESTERS. This ingredient is a chemical compound (ester) of sunflower fats with polymerized glycerin. This combination causes a skin caring and co-emulsifying function of this functional ingredient. The skin is so kept in good condition and it appears smooth and supple.

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.

CERAMIDES. Important component of the epidermis, especially the upper cell layers and valuable skin physiological component of skin care products. Plays an extremely important role in the skin barrier and the hydration of the skin. If the ceramides in the skin are reduced, more water can evaporate through the skin. The ceramides therefore form a kind of "waterproof" protective layer and ensure that our skin remains beautiful and hydrated.

MARIGOLD. Marigold extract is rich in flavonoids, which gives the plant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is also known for its soothing and healing properties. Ideal as care for sensitive skin.
