OUR VISION
We develop care products that are natural, effective and well tolerated - and always at least as effective as their conventional counterparts. sober wants to solve the problems people have with their skin, their care and shaving. Driven by the search for excellent care for our own skin, we therefore began researching and developing our own highly effective recipes and formulas for cell renewal and for reducing oxidative stress in the skin. In order to meet our own high standards and be able to influence the entire development process, we only deliver quality made in Germany. We not only want to create the best care, but also to make it as affordable as possible.
Our Clean Care philosophy means concentrating on the essentials. The volume applied during daily skin care is small and spread over a large surface. We therefore consciously concentrate on a few ingredients that are proven to be effective.
Without parabens, petrochemicals, nanoparticles, silicones, artificial fragrances, synthetic colors and many other pollutants, Prof. Dr. Schirner and his team of active ingredient cosmetics specially tailored to different skin types. Our products are developed to regenerate, protect and counteract skin aging on a daily basis. We are very pleased that many people have already accompanied us on the way to make luxury care natural, effective and tolerable.
Made for you.
We all sometimes look in the mirror and secretly wish to go back in time - to where we still had particularly youthful skin or full hair. We have been contributing to this with our care products that are visibly effective and without any questionable ingredient since 2017.
