Active ingredients

• Aloe vera juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) provides natural moisture, prevents the skin from drying out, and strengthens the natural skin barrier. Aloe vera contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential amino acids. It supplies the skin with oxygen and is considered effective in supporting cell renewal. It binds moisture, has a cooling, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effect.
• Irish moss (Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract) is a red algae species from the North Atlantic and offers numerous benefits in skincare. It provides intense moisture, soothes skin irritation and redness, and forms a protective film that shields the skin from environmental influences. It also contains antioxidants that help combat free radicals and slow premature skin aging.
• Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronic Acid / Sodium Hyaluronate) stores up to 1,000 times its weight in moisture. Hyaluronic acid is a key component of connective tissue, filling and supporting it. Because of its ability to bind large amounts of water, it contributes to the skin’s moisture content. Hyaluronic acid also promotes the skin’s firmness and elasticity. As we age, we lose our natural hyaluronic acid, which is one of the main causes of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps fill in fine lines and plump the skin.
• Allantoin is primarily derived from the root of marsh mallow (Althaea Officinalis), as well as from the leaves and roots of comfrey (Symphytum Officinale), and is known for its healing and soothing properties. It promotes cell regeneration, relieves skin irritation, and helps moisturize the skin, resulting in a smoother and healthier complexion.
• Caper extract (Capparis Spinosa Fruit Extract) has soothing properties and relieves skin irritation by reducing the impact of harmful environmental influences. Its anti-inflammatory properties support skin health.
• Bilberry extract (Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract) protects the skin from oxidative stress thanks to its antioxidant properties, reduces inflammation, provides moisture, and promotes cell regeneration. It also helps even out skin tone, creates a radiant complexion, and can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look healthier and more youthful overall.
• Prickly pear extract (Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract) is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids. It combats dryness, helps the skin retain its natural moisture reserves, and strengthens the skin’s natural UV protection. It is also quickly absorbed, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.
• Comfrey root (Symphytum Officinale Root Extract), also known as knitbone, boneset, or blackwort, is widespread in Europe and belongs to the borage family. Comfrey has been used in herbal medicine since antiquity. In skin and hair care, comfrey is primarily used for inflamed and sensitive skin; the plant has strong cell-regenerating and soothing properties and supports the formation of new tissue. Comfrey relieves pain, promotes circulation, and is used to treat wounds, venous disorders, bruises, and contusions. The root contains allantoin, mucilage, tannins, rosmarinic acid, and alkaloids.
• Madonna lily bulb extract (Lilium Candidum Bulb Extract) offers soothing and protective properties for the skin thanks to its saponins and polysaccharides. It also provides intense moisture, which forms the basis for a healthy, radiant complexion.
• Marshmallow root (Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Extract) has soothing and healing properties. It helps relieve itching and protects the skin from environmental influences. It also supports the skin’s moisture balance. It is particularly suitable for sensitive skin; the active ingredient is also recommended for neurodermatitic or eczema-prone skin. This mallow plant is effective even for acne or blemished, inflamed skin.
• Flower extract of German or Roman chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria Extract / Anthemis Nobilis Flower) has soothing, relaxing, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing effects. Impure skin benefits from its clarifying effect. Extracts of the plant stimulate skin metabolism and promote cell regeneration. Very suitable for sensitive skin.
• Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum (Edelweiss) Extract) is a soothing, anti-inflammatory plant that provides UV protection. Bioavailable phytochemicals such as chlorogenic acid, luteolin, bisabolane derivatives, and beta-sitosterol have antiseptic and antioxidant properties.
