Active ingredients

• Squalane or squalane oil (Squalane) is a lightweight, non-comedogenic, non-greasy oil that leaves the skin silky smooth. Squalane is a natural component of our skin barrier and is therefore very well absorbed by our skin. It protects the skin from moisture loss and prevents the oxidation of the skin's own fats. The regenerating oil helps prevent age spots, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, softens the skin, and promotes oxygen supply and cell regeneration. It is usually obtained from olive oil, and less frequently from rice bran or wheat germ oil. For cosmetic use, squalene is converted into squalane. Squalane no longer contains unsaturated compounds and is therefore resistant to oxidation and has a longer shelf life. Incidentally, squalane was originally obtained from shark liver, hence the name. Squalus is the Latin name for shark.
• Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii (shea) nut butter) is obtained from the fruits of the karité tree. Shea butter has a long tradition as a skincare and healing remedy. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, the butter protects against environmental stresses, binds moisture, combats free radicals, promotes cell regeneration, and leaves skin and hair soft and supple.
• Rosehip seed oil, wild rose oil (Rosa Canina Fruit Oil) is obtained from the fruits of the wild rose. It very effectively supports skin regeneration. Rich in vitamin C, minerals, beta-carotene, flavonoids, and malic acid, it helps with pigmentation and scars, supports skin elasticity, and balances the skin tone. Flaky, mature, and dry skin also benefits from the use of this oil.
• Macadamia nut oil (Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil) provides abundant moisture and nourishes dry and cracked skin. The beneficial combination of healthy unsaturated fatty acids and the high content of vitamins and trace elements have also earned the macadamia nut the name “queen of nuts.” The oil is non-comedogenic and absorbs quickly into the skin.
• Manuka Honey (Mel / Honey / Leptospermum mel (manuka honey) extract) – Unprocessed honey is antiseptic and antimicrobial and helps cleanse the skin and thoroughly eliminate bacteria. Honey contains gluconic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy acid that has a brightening effect and fades age spots. Raw honey is enriched with a variety of nutrients such as vitamin B, manganese, iron, potassium, and calcium. After mixing with water, honey releases peroxide, which helps heal acne and inhibit bacterial growth. Honey is also a humectant that supplies the skin with moisture and nourishes it with an abundance of nutrient-rich enzymes.
