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.

PENTYLENE GLYCOL. Is an ingredient used in cosmetics as a humectant and preservative. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid with antimicrobial properties.

PAPAYA EXTRACT (FRUIT). Extract of the up to 8 meter high melon tree. Has a keratolytic toning effect and smoothes small wrinkles. The gentle enzymes from the papaya (papain) have excellent peeling properties: by splitting binding proteins (= proteolysis) and the resulting desquamation of the skin, the skin's appearance is clarified and pores appear refined.

(BIOTECHNOLOGICAL) HYALURONIC ACID. Biotechnologically derived hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide found in the extracellular matrix of the skin, where it serves as a moisture reservoir. Our hyaluronic acid is obtained through fermentation. Its effects vary depending on the molecular weight: high molecular weight hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin's surface, while medium and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis to bind moisture and improve skin structure. This helps to smooth wrinkles and promote a fresh, firm, and radiant complexion.

ROSE MYRTLE. In traditional Chinese medicine, false myrtle is used for stomach upset and wound healing. The contained phenols and terpenoids have antioxidant and antibacterial effects.

DISODIUM COCOYL GLUTAMATE (SURFACTANT). Herbal, mild washing-active substance from fatty acids of coconut fat and amino acids obtained from fermented sugar. Contributes to a uniform distribution during application.

SODIUM COCOYL GLUTAMATE (SURFACTANT). Sodium cocoyl glutamate is a mild surfactant of natural origin with good foaming properties, skin and hair are gently washed.

SODIUM PHYTATE. Sodium phytate is a natural raw material occurring in wheat and rice bran. It is a so-called chelator and binds metals which can influence the stability of the product.

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

COMFREY. Medicinal plant that contains allantoin and rosemary acid with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. The contained mucilages moisturize the skin and ensure a well-cared for appearance.

PEPPERMINT (ESSENTIAL OIL). Peppermint essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of freshly harvested, flowering branches. Its main constituent is menthol. It is traditionally used as an inhaler for colds and coughs. Similar to field mint, it can promote epithelialization. In traditional folk medicine, the essential oil is recommended for headaches and smooth muscle tension.

MAGNESIUM PCA. The magnesium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid is extracted from sugar cane. As a natural part of the NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor), it supports the skin's ability to bind moisture.

BEARD LICHEN. Symbiotic organism consisting of a fungus and green algae or cyanobacteria (blue-green algae); the algae supply the community with sugars produced by photosynthesis, while the fungus provides protection and moisture. Together they develop specialized ingredients, the usnic acids, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The perfect example of synergistic systems, where the result is more than the sum of its parts.

TEA TREE (ESSENTIAL OIL). Originally used to make tea, tea tree is now appreciated for acne-prone skin as it is known to regulate and control sebum secretion in the long term.

The zinc can have a sebum-regulating effect and, according to studies, it has an antimicrobial effect, making the ingredient particularly suitable for tendentially acneic, impure skin. Also the body odor caused by sweat can be reduced.

MANGANESE PCA. The manganese salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid is extracted from sugar cane. As a natural part of the NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor), it supports the skin's ability to bind moisture.
