DAMASK ROSE (HYDROSOL). Hydrolates are produced by steam distillation and contain a part of the essential oils. The rose water is a true all-rounder and is especially appreciated for its calming effect. Sensitive skin is gently enveloped, reddenings and irritations can be soothed.

CORNFLOWER. It contains natural antioxidants that help protect the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Cornflower is often used in eye makeup removers and eye creams, as it also has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce puffiness and irritation.

HAMAMELIS / WITCH HAZEL. Herbal functional ingredient of witch hazel, which conjures up a beautiful and healthy skin texture. The extract has a wound healing, soothing and antioxidant effect. Proanthocyanidins promote cell division of the keratinocytes and keep the skin hydrated. Contained tanning agents can reduce the blood flow in the capillaries and therefore reduce inflammatory skin reactions.

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

ALOE VERA. Aloe Vera is a magic plant. It acts as a cooling, soothing, and moisturizing agent, supports the skin's self-healing, and its antioxidants protect against free radicals. Additionally, Aloe Vera contains anti-inflammatory substances like salicylates and polysaccharides, and it promotes wound healing and skin regeneration.

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.

POLIGLYCERYL-4 CAPRATE. Is an ingredient used in cosmetics and skincare products that acts as a surfactant and emulsifier. It is a mixture of esters of multiple glyceryl molecules and caprylic acid that can be derived from coconut oil. Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate can help water and oil mix in a product, resulting in a better texture and consistency. It is often used in natural cosmetics because it is considered particularly gentle on the skin.

POLYGLYCERYL-6 CAPRYLATE (EMULSIFIER). Ester hexaglycerol and caprylic acid with emulsifying properties. Keeps the product physically stable due to purely vegetable ingredients.

PRICKLY PEAR (STEM). Extract from the leaves (stems) of the prickly pear grown in Sicily. The gel it contains 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 effects similar to hyaluronic acid. Today, the stem of the prickly pear is used in the cosmetic industry as an up-cycling ingredient to produce high quality components for skincare products. The leaves (stem) of the prickly pear are used to make an extract that is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and has a soothing and regenerating effect on the skin.

CARROT EXTRACT. Functional ingredient with antioxidant, refatting and soothing properties. Due to its high beta-carotene content, the carrot has a firming and cell-protecting effect and is often found in care products for demanding skin. Age prevention.

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.

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

PHYTIC ACID. This ingredient is made from the hull of cereals and pulses. Its function is to form complexes in order to stabilize the emulsion.

CITRIC ACID. Organic acid. Biotechnologically extracted from the juice of the lemon fruit with the help of bacteria and serves to stabilize the pH value of the product.

LECULINIC ACID. Levulinic acid from the sugar cane and vegetable oils has an antimicrobial effect and inhibits the growth of bacteria in the product.

SODIUM LEVULINATE. Levulinic acid from sugar cane and vegetable oils has an antimicrobial effect and blocks the growth of bacteria in the product.

SODIUM BENZOATE. Water-soluble preservative for cosmetic preparations. Benzoic acid occurs naturally in blueberries and cranberries. This ingredient has a growth-inhibiting effect on yeasts and fungi and protects the product against them.

POTASSIUM SORBATE. Potassium salt of sorbic acid. Water-soluble, nature-identical preservative produced in laboratory.

BENZYL ALCOHOL. Benzyl alcohol is an ingredient used in cosmetics as a preservative to extend their shelf life. It naturally occurs in fruits and teas but can also be synthetically produced. Regardless of its origin, in small amounts (up to 1%), benzyl alcohol is a pleasant and mild preservative. To ensure a broad-spectrum effect, it must be combined with other preservatives, such as potassium sorbate.

SODIUM HYDROXIDE. Sodium hydroxide is used to regulate the ph-value of the product so that the pH-value of the product is between 5 and 5.5, in order to respect the natural acid mantle of the skin.
