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.

ALOE VERA. Miracle plant Aloe Vera. Has a cooling, calming, moisturizing effect, supports the skin's self-healing powers and its high antioxidant content protects against free radicals.

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 (trunks) of the prickly pear cultivated in Sicily. The gel contained within 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 shown a very similar effect to hyaluronic acid.

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.

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.
