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.

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.

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

CETEARYL ALCOHOL (FATTY ALCOHOL). Mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohol, these are fatty alcohols, which are produced by the reduction of the corresponding fatty acids. A very common ingredient of cosmetic formulas, which gives the skin a pleasantly soft feeling and supports the formation of emulsions in the product. It also has a moisturizing effect and is supposed to smooth the skin.

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.

(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.

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.

SHEA BUTTER. 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.

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.

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.

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.

OLIVE OIL. Olive oil - vegetable oil with predominantly simple unsaturated fatty acids. Ideal to moisturize and nourish very dry skin.

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.

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.

ALMOND OIL. Almond oil is a highly digestible oil and is therefore recommended for all skin types. Due to the spectrum of fatty acids rich in oleic acid, almond oil is absorbed well and deeply and can thus increase the penetration of other functional ingredients.

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.

HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL. Hydrogenated castor oil is an oily ingredient commonly used in cosmetic products as an emulsifier, surfactant, stabilizer and thickener. It has skin conditioning properties and makes the skin smooth and supple. As an emulsifier, it helps form finely dispersed mixtures of oil and water. In addition, as a surfactant, it has cleansing properties and it regulates the viscosity (thickness) of cosmetic products.

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

CARRAGEEN MOSS (RED ALGA). Extract of red algae with film-forming, skin smoothing and moisturizing properties. Reduces measurably the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and is therefore hydrating.

GRAPEFRUIT (ESSENTIAL OIL). Essential oil of the grapefruit peel, recommended especially for cellulite due to its aquaretic effect. Thanks to astringent and antiseptic ingredients, the essential oil is also recommended for impure skin. If the oil of this paradise citrus fruit is of good quality, it has no or almost no photosensitizing effect.
