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.

ZINC OXIDE. Mineral dye made of zinc ore with UV-reflecting and protective properties. Due to its astringent and soothing effect, zinc oxide is also used as a powder additive, especially for tendentially impure skin.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POLYGLYCERYL-3 POLYRICINOLEATE (EMULSIFIER). Vegetable emulsifier produced from glycerin and ricinoleic acid.

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.

FIG EXTRACT. The fig tree is one of the oldest cultivated plants and has also found its way into the mythology of Buddhism, Islam and Christianity.

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.
