SHEA BUTTER UNSAPONIFIABLES. Shea butter derives from the nut of the shea tree, is rich in antioxidants and is considered to be particularly nutritious and protective due to the contained fatty acids, resulting in velvety soft skin. Its high content of vitamin E, carotenoids and allantoin gives it smoothing properties and makes it particularly beneficial for stressed skin. The unsaponifiable fraction provides a concentration of secondary ingredients.

CASTOR OIL. Castor oil has the excellent ability to penetrate the skin layers and to carry along functional ingredients.

C15-19 ALKANE (EMOLLIENT). This emmolient, which is obtained from oil-containing plants, contains carbon chains (=alkane) with a length of 15-19 atoms. It is a natural alternative to silicones, it is quickly absorbed and leaves a smooth skin feeling.

SUNFLOWER SEED WAX. The wax protects the seeds from the external environmental conditions. In the product, the wax has a consistency-giving function; applied to the skin, the wax protects and supports the skin's barrier function.

ALMOND/ BORAGE/LINSEED/OLIVE ACIDS/GLYCERIDES EMULSIFIER. This combination of ingredients is used to create a complex emulsifier system. The acids work to help stabilize the product, and the glycerides moisturize the skin. The two components together help to maintain the consistency and texture of the product, making it easier to apply evenly.

BERRY WAX. This wax is extracted from the fruit peel of the sumac tree. It has a consistency-giving and refatting effect in cosmetics. It is very light and has only little film-forming properties.

SQUALANE (LIPID). Saturated, liquid hydrocarbon, which occurs as a natural component of the hydro-lipid film on the skin. Squalane is mainly extracted from olive oil, but also from other vegetable oils. Squalane is characterized by its good spreading ability and promotes the absorption of a cosmetic product, leaving a soft and silky skin feeling without being greasy.

MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES. Vegetable neutral oil from coconut oil and glycerine with refatting, moisturizing and smoothing properties. Clear, odorless and non-greasy.

COCO-CAPRYLATE (EMOLLIENT). A fast-spreading, refatting emollient of natural origin that leaves the skin feeling silky smooth and soft.

SUNFLOWER OIL. Oil from the sunflower seeds, its name comes from its ability to turn its flower head towards the sun. Due to its high content of linoleic acid, it is a light, non-sticky and caring oil. The contained vitamin E has an antioxidant effect.

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.

KALAHARI MELON SEED OIL. Oil from the seeds of the Kalahari melon. It is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E and has a hydrating and firming effect. It is also said to stimulate the growth of skin cells.

ARGAN OIL. The "liquid gold of Morocco" contains 80% unsaturated fatty acids as well as the antioxidant vitamin E and phenols. The linoleic acid contained in argan oil acts as natural cell protection and can support the restoration of new skin cells. In addition, it is said to improve the elasticity of the skin and to have a moisturizing effect on skin and hair.

MACADAMIA OIL. Macadamia oil derives from the nuts of the tree that originally grew in Australia. Due to the similarity of the fatty acid spectrum to human sebum, the oil is particularly good for dry, chapped and sensitive skin.

AVOCADO OIL. Vegetable oil from the fruit flesh of the avocado with a high content of unsaponifiables, including vitamins A, E, D and lecithin. Has an exceptional ability to penetrate the skin and to nourish different skin layers. Avocado oil can promote cell regeneration and is frequently used for dry, barrier-damaged skin.

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.

ASCORBYL PALMITATE (STABILISED VITAMIN C). Fat-soluble vitamin C serves as product protection to stabilize sensitive unsaturated fats, functional ingredients and essential oils. It can increase collagen production, reduce hyperpigmentation and is also said to have a smoothing effect and prevent skin aging. By stabilizing it, it can fulfill its function as a regenerating agent in deeper layers of the skin.

LAMINARIA (KELP/BROWN SEAWEED). This brown alga is native to coastal areas and contains a variety of effective ingredients. Antioxidants support skin regeneration, vitamins and minerals provide a reservoir of nutrients for the skin. The skin is nourished and calmed, and moisture retention is supported.

ETHYL FERULATE (RICE BRAN). Ethyl Ferulate, extracted from rice bran, has a strong antioxidant potential and so protects against free radicals.
