Restorative Hand + Nail Serum

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

AVENA SATIVA (OAT) . Derived from oat kernels. It is often used in moisturizers and skin care products due to its rich antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help to soothe the skin, provide moisture, and relieve itching and skin irritations.

BAOBAB. The Baobab is a unique tree native to Africa. It is the largest succulent tree in the world and almost all of its plant components are traditionally used for medicinal purposes in Africa. The seed oil is rich in skin-friendly ingredients: it contains skin-regenerating vitamin A, antioxidant vitamin E and vitamin D3, which promotes calcium absorption. It is also rich in nourishing fatty acids.

BIOTECHNOLOGICAL FERMENT. Biotechnological fermentation using yeast fungi (Saccharomyces) produces valuable postbiotic ingredients. After further processing by lysis, a complex functional ingredient with a balancing effect on the skin's microbiome is produced.

ALMOND PROTEINS. A hydrolyzed, water-soluble protein derived from sweet almonds. It conditions the hair, improves combability, and provides the hair with proteins after cleansing. It also promotes skin firmness.

XYLITGLUCOSIDE. This sugar alcohol is similar to Xylitol and is a multifunctional moisturizer for the skin.

XYLITOL. Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol and can be found in many fruits and vegetables, as well as in the bark of some wood species, including birch bark. Xylitol has a moisturizing effect on the skin.

ANHYDROXYLITOL. Anhydroxylitol is extracted from the sugar alcohol xylitol, which is obtained from the biotechnological fermentation of various plants (e.g. cereals and wood). The active substance has hydrating properties on the skin.

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.

XANTHAN GUM. One of the most commonly used thickeners and emulsion stabilizers. Completely natural ingredient produced by fermentation.

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 DEHYDROACETATE. Preservative of synthetic origin that helps to prolong the shelf life of products by inhibiting the growth of bacteria within 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.

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.

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.
