Wissenschaft Natur Kosmetik

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Always one idea ahead.

We combine the best of nature and science:unique formulas that care, regenerate and protect. Developed by doctors and dermatologists for visible results without any harmful ingredients.

Don't fight the symptoms, fight the root cause.

From the beginning, our research has focused on finding and combining the most suitable herbal active ingredients for skin care. Solid scientific studies have demonstrated that microscopic inflammatory processes in the skin lead to the programmed death of collagen-producing cells and capillary vascular cells. In the last step, the continuous loss of these cells leads to a loss of firming skin connective tissue and visible skin aging. Our goal was therefore to cosmetically heal the inflammations caused by a wide variety of everyday disturbances and to initiate the reconstruction of healthy skin.

We were the first to recognize that few vegetable oils have the potential to correct fundamental disorders in cell metabolism and cell growth. Only cellular test systems specially designed for this purpose show the great potential of the active ingredient oils used in our products. The active ingredients transported by these vegetable oils are a large number of low-molecular substances that efficiently block the programmed death of skin cells. They are powerful antioxidants and normalize cell communication in the skin. We research, develop and produce exclusively in Germany.

High-tech natural cosmetics from Berlin.

We all sometimes look in the mirror and secretly wish we could go back in time a little, to when we still had particularly youthful skin or full hair. With our care products, which are visibly effective and do not contain any questionable ingredients, we have been making our contribution as an independent company since 2017..

Schlechte Kosmetik

Avoid the mistakes of conventional cosmetics

It's downright cynical that many chemical-based cosmetics, laced with synthetic preservatives and questionable skin-active substances, could actually be contributing to skin aging instead of preventing it.

Our body rejects many non-endogenous, artificial ingredients. Regardless of whether this causes a reaction or not: each of these reactions is toxic. Some of the resulting toxins are stored in fat cells, while others can trigger an uncontrolled reaction in the skin.

One of the side effects is the production of free radicals. Studies have now shown that free radicals can increase the signs of aging and dry skin, and lead to fine lines and wrinkles. The chemicals used for this are potentially carcinogenic, i.e. carcinogenic.

Our products are free of questionable chemicals and preservatives and not only fight free radicals via rich, organic, antioxidant active ingredients, but also minimize the production of free radicals because the ingredients we use are not rejected by the body. Our products and their ingredients are not tested on animals.

Kosmetik mit Wissenschaft

Powerful cosmetics with scientific formulation

We have set ourselves the goal of developing a care series with highly potent active ingredients that is optimized for the special features of every skin type.

Our research led to the realization that in some cases there is a difference between organic and synthetic ingredients: independent laboratories have examined the antioxidant benefits of both classes of substances and found that biological agents not only have a higher proportion of essential fatty acids and amino acids, but also a higher number of antioxidants and vitamins as well as mineral salts. These essential nutrients are critical to the optimal functioning of your skin cells and their repair mechanisms. This is one of the insights that we take into account in all of our products, since only optimum biological ingredients can also lead to optimum care effectiveness.

Clean Beauty:100% free from harmful substances

In all of our products, we refrain from using harmful, carcinogenic, toxic skin-altering or, in our opinion, questionable ingredients, which are often used in conventional cosmetics, but which unfortunately can be found in most drugstores, supermarkets or even in luxury care products for women and men. There are no petrochemicals, alcohol, artificial fragrances, silicones, synthetic colors, PEG-based polymers, sodium lauryl sulfate, nitrosamine sources, parabens, microplastics, paraffins, diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA) and no polycyanoacrylates in any of our products. No products or their ingredients are tested on animals according to EU legislation. All our formulations are developed vegan and based on aloe vera.

Optimal effectiveness of all our care products with a balanced lifestyle and physical activity.
