The active in detail

A herb from the Mediterranean

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis / Salvia rosmarinus) grows in the Mediterranean and has been valued since antiquity – in the kitchen as well as in skincare. Its essential oil contains cineole, camphor and pinene – responsible for its fresh, herbal scent.

Rosemary and your skin type

In our products, rosemary oil is mainly there for its scent. Here is what that means for each skin type:

N
Normal skin Top
A herbal scent in foot cream, balm and soap.
O
Oily skin Top
Essential oil is volatile and leaves no greasy film of its own.
B
Blemished skin Mit Bedacht
We make no promise about blemishes; rosemary oil is here for its scent.
M
Combination skin Mit Bedacht
Use sparingly in body care.
S
Sensitive skin Mit Bedacht
Rosemary oil contains fragrance compounds such as limonene that can cause allergies; avoid it if you know you are allergic.
T
Dry skin Mit Bedacht
Rosemary oil is not the caring part; in the foot cream and salve, wax and oils leave a film on the skin.

02

Frischer Duft

Its herbaceous, fresh scent makes rosemary a classic in foot creams.

03

Oil or extract

Rosmarinic acid and carnosol are found in rosemary extract, hardly at all in the distilled essential oil.
