Shea butter works like a natural protective layer for the skin. Its valuable fatty acids strengthen the skin barrier, protect against drying out and environmental influences and keep the skin supple. You'll also find shea butter in our solid creams. We use it deliberately in products for stressed, sensitive or mature skin – for visibly regenerated skin.
Aloe vera naturally supports the skin's regeneration . Its ingredients promote cell renewal and help the skin recover. The moisturising serum especially helps dry, tight or flaky skin and creates a fresh, smooth skin feel.
Argan oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. It strengthens your skin barrier and helps bring stressed skin back into balance. Argan oil promotes cell renewal and supports the skin's natural regeneration after external strain.
Rosehip seed oil contains plenty of essential fatty acids and antioxidants, has an anti-inflammatory effect and smooths fine lines. It gives you a fresh complexion and lends your skin elasticity.
Almond oil has a moisturising and firming effect and lastingly supports the skin's repair. It soothes irritated skin and supports wound healing. Its antioxidant properties fight free radicals and counteract the first signs of skin ageing.
Jojoba oil is very similar in structure to the skin's own sebum and, with its unique, light texture, adapts perfectly to your skin: it nourishes without leaving a greasy feel, soothes when skin is stressed, and regulates sebum production.
Our Faceoil combines the active ingredients argan oil, rosehip oil, jojoba oil, borage oil, hemp oil and lavender oil into the perfect care for your face. It supplies the skin with important nutrients, strengthens the natural skin barrier and makes it supple and soft.
Our body oil with sesame oil, safflower oil, sea buckthorn seed oil, turmeric oil and lemongrass promotes cell regeneration, has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect and helps to ease skin irritations.
The result: few ingredients, big effect
DIY natural cosmetics don't have to be complicated or time-consuming. With just a few high-quality ingredients you can easily whip up your own personal care – exactly the way your skin needs it.
