Intense Moisturizing Mask Sample⁰²

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.

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.

SODIUM STEAROYL GLUTAMATE (EMULSIFIER). Natural emulsifier based on amino acids. Helps water and oil to mix and subsequently not separate. This ingredient also has skin and hair conditioning properties, keeping them in good condition.

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.

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.

SODIUM LACTATE. Sodium salt of lactic acid, which is obtained in a biotechnological process. Lactic acid is a natural component of NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) and contributes to the natural acid mantle of the skin. Due to its activity on the compounds of the horny cells, lactic acid has a regulating effect on cornification and can be used in the case of acne and cornification disorders. The hydrating effect of lactic acid is particularly worth mentioning.

ANISIC ACID. Skin-friendly organic acid that is effective against fungi. Helps to protect the product from microbial spoilage.

(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.

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

YLANG YLANG (ESSENTIAL OIL). Sweet, exotic and flowery. Ylang Ylang is an essential oil of the yellow, fragrant blossoms of the Cananga tree, native in tropical Asia. It is known for its stimulating (blood circulation), antidepressant, antiseborrheic, antiseptic and calming (nerves) properties.

INOSITOL. Chemically speaking, inositol is an alcohol with the ability to bind water and thus increase skin hydration. It is a powerful skin moisturizer and a substance that optimizes the skin's water-lipid barrier and strengthens the skin's natural defenses. Inositol has also been shown to help with rosacea and eczema. Another important property of inositol is its ability to normalize the skin's salt composition, including regulating calcium salt levels. This is particularly important for skin health, as an imbalance of calcium salts can lead to rapid skin aging and premature wrinkle formation.

GLYCINE. Non-essential amino acid that can be produced by the body itself. However, this production decreases with age. Occurs in proteins as a building block.

UREA. Urea is a natural component of the skin's NMF (natural moisturizing factor) and is one of the most important moisturizing factors.
