The products in our range are characterized by high quality and premium, natural ingredients. Natural cosmetics enable gentle facial care as well as skin and body care through natural products. In our range, you will find various brands from renowned manufacturers with natural or vegan (and sometimes animal-derived) ingredients. Here is an impression of the variety of natural, nourishing, or protective ingredients, to name just a few:

Aloe vera: Also known as true aloe, this plant contains a variety of active substances and can, for example, help treat burns and other skin injuries. Various studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and soothing effects of aloe vera. These effects are used in various preparations for caring for sensitive skin or treating neurodermatitis, psoriasis, or rashes.

Arnica: Arnica is a medicinal plant that is used, among other things, to treat swelling and inflammation. This flowering plant, which is protected by law, contains flavonoids, helenalin, tannins, coumarins, and essential oil. Due to its mildly antiseptic and pleasantly soothing effect, arnica cream is well suited for irritated or inflamed skin. People with flower allergies should initially test creams containing arnica carefully, as using them may cause allergic skin reactions. In homeopathy, arnica is used in globules to treat gum inflammation or insect bites.

Marmot oil: This oil is obtained from the fat of marmots. It contains small amounts of corticosteroids, which have a similar effect to cortisone. It is often processed into warming or cooling herbal ointments.

Ginseng: As a medicinal herb, ginseng has been known in Asia for centuries. In fact, only the root of the ginseng plant is processed; its distinctive shape is the reason for its name, which translates as "human root." Ginseng contains so-called ginsenosides, which have anti-inflammatory, blood-pressure-lowering, and antispasmodic effects. Ginseng also contains various minerals, amino acids, and essential oils. In creams and ointments, it helps counteract skin dryness.

Sea buckthorn oil: Oil and often the fruit pulp of the sea buckthorn shrub are frequently processed into body lotions or hand creams. Sea buckthorn oil contains many vitamins - especially vitamin C and B12 - as well as unsaturated fatty acids. It intensively nourishes the skin and makes it supple. It can also be used to treat mild sunburn or rough patches of skin.

Alpine herbs: These herbs come from the Alps and usually grow at mountain elevations where there are no longer any trees. Many of these herbs contain oils and substances that have refreshing and moisturizing effects in skin creams.

Chamomile: Chamomile is a true classic among medicinal herbs. Dissolved in hot water as an herbal tea, it relieves gastrointestinal complaints and inflammation. As an ingredient in ointments and creams, chamomile also has a soothing effect, making it suitable for caring for rough and brittle skin. Here too, creams should be tested carefully first if you suffer from a flower allergy.

Calendula: In addition to essential oils and flavonoids, the ingredients of calendula include the rare calendulic acid. Calendula ointments are generally applied to support the healing of minor wounds and to treat bruises, irritations, or rashes.

Olive oil: Not only good for salad but also for the skin, olive oil is also found as an additive in creams. The oil is credited with a certain skin-smoothing anti-aging effect, which is why it is used, for example, as an ingredient in day and night creams for moisturizing care.

Shea butter: This pure vegetable fat is obtained from the fruits of the shea tree. It can actually also be used for cooking, but it is known for its effectiveness in skin care. Shea butter contains a great deal of vitamin E, beta-carotene, oleic acids, and other fatty acids, as well as allantoin. The latter in particular has anti-inflammatory properties and can support skin wound healing or soothe irritated skin. That is why shea butter is frequently found in skin care products. Ointments for rheumatism or joint pain are also enriched with it. In addition, due to its moisturizing and replenishing properties, shea butter is also found in hair and beard care products.

Moringa oil: Moringa plants are African bottle trees with fleshy leaves that can also survive extended dry periods. Moringa seeds contain behen oil and have a disinfecting effect. The tree's leaves contain amino acids and fatty acids as well as numerous vitamins. Moringa oil is often combined with shea butter to make creams or lotions that nourish the skin and make it supple and soft.

Udder grease: It is made from paraffins produced during oil extraction. Although these are not plant-based, they are nevertheless natural. Petroleum jelly is an example of these paraffins. Udder grease gets its name because it was originally used to care for the teats of dairy livestock. Udder grease preparations intended for use on human skin must not contain harmful substances such as pesticides or similar contaminants and are generally offered enriched with vitamins and natural ingredients such as calendula, chamomile, or other herbs. Udder grease can be used as a mild sunscreen, to soften hardened skin, or even as pomade. It is usually used as a supple skin-care product to protect dry and stressed skin.

Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the human body, where it binds water in the skin, among other functions, thereby keeping it supple. However, over the course of a person's life, the body produces less and less hyaluronic acid. Fortunately, this substance can also be produced in other ways - for example, it can be obtained from animal tissue or bacterial cultures. Various skin-care or anti-aging products contain hyaluronic acid. However, it is also used in other medical fields. For example, it can be injected into joints as a kind of lubricant to treat osteoarthritis.

Snail gel: Yes, snail gel is made from snail slime. Although this may initially sound unpleasant, the finished product no longer has anything about it that resembles the mollusks. Snail gel has a pleasant consistency and a subtle fragrance. As a skin-care product, it has impressive properties that make the skin more elastic and help it regenerate. Therefore, the gel can be used to treat scars or stretch marks.
