LEONTOPODIUM ALPINUM FLOWER/LEAF EXTRACT, organic, Switzerland

These plants are the emblem of the Alps, and only cultivated plants are used for this extract and no wild growth. Few plants combine as many active ingredients as the graceful edelweiss. Thus, the edelweiss has an antibacterial and antioxidant effect and free radicals can therefore be better bound. This in turn counteracts skin aging. The high tannin content has an equally protective effect. The tannins have a skin tightening effect and the flavonoids protect the vessels. Phenylprobane derivatives have an astringent effect. Blood circulation is stimulated, cell activity is increased and skin renewal is thus stimulated.

We use three media to extract the active ingredients from the edelweiss - vegetable glycerin, water and organic sunflower oil. GW Edelweiss extract is used in face cream, and oil extract in face oil. At the same time the extracts are completely without preservatives.

OENOTHERA BIENNIS OIL, organic, EU

W-2 group (active ingredient oils with high γ-linolenic acid content). Evening primrose oil is characterized by its exceptionally high content of linoleic acid and the rare Ɣ-linolenic acid ("gamma-linolenic acid" pronounced). Evening primrose oil is predestined both internally and externally for scaly, inflamed and dermatitic skin. Essential fatty acids (the name given to fatty acids that cannot be produced by the body itself) are essential building blocks for the synthesis of phospholipids, from which the membranes of skin cells are formed. Studies have shown that linoleic and γ-linolenic acids, when applied topically (i.e. externally), are incorporated into the lipid structures of the skin and regenerate it; skin roughness and transepidermal water loss were significantly reduced. Impure skin also benefits from formulations containing this oil.

You can find evening primrose oil in our facial oils.

GLYCERIN, vegetable

Our vegetable glycerin is the part of organic edelweiss extract. It is used as an extracting medium to extract the valuable active ingredients from the Edelweiss. In addition, glycerin has an impressive hydrating effect and significantly exceeds that of urea. In addition, it has a barrier-protecting effect and promotes skin elasticity.

Depending on the concentration, glycerin draws water upwards from the basal layer (stratum basale) to varying degrees and holds it in the horny layer, the stratum corneum - but it does not allow it to evaporate. Warnings regarding an alleged dehydrating effect refer exclusively to very high dosages of 30 % or more and only prove the effectiveness of this active ingredient - at the above recommended use concentration of less than 10 % (according to the specialist literature) there is no danger whatsoever. In our facial creams glycerin with an application amount below 4% is content.

GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, non-GMO

The purely vegetable, natural cosmetics compliant Glyceryl Caprylate is a monoester of the fatty acid caprylic acid and glycerin. It is obtained from various plant oils and is actively effective against bacteria, yeasts and molds. In addition, Glyceryl Caprylate has a moisturizing and moisture-regulating effect.

W1 group (active ingredient oils with a large α-linolenic acid content). Wild rose oil supports skin regeneration, stimulates cell renewal and is ideal for the treatment of dry, scaly skin, pigment spots and scars. Virgin wild rose oil, reddish yellow due to the high content of carotenoids, has a regenerating effect that promotes blood circulation and collagen production, which helps the skin to better retain its own water.

Rosehip used to be considered the symbol of affection, love, fertility and worship of the dead.

HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES FRUIT OIL, organic, Germany

W-3 group (active ingredient oils with rare acids). The sea buckthorn extract contains the rarely occurring palmitoleic acid, which is also a component of skin fat. It stimulates regenerative processes in the epidermis and promotes wound healing. Therefore, sea buckthorn extract contributes to the activation of skin regeneration and minimization of scars. The other unsaturated fatty acids present in the extract increase skin hydration. The orange-red color of sea buckthorn pulp oil due to the high content of carotenoids has cell regenerating, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is excellent for mature skin because it stimulates skin's own metabolic processes and the formation of new cells. Damaged skin (e.g. due to a sunburn) also benefits from the anti-inflammatory effects of this oil.

We use German organic sea buckthorn pulp oil in both of our facial oils.

CAMELINA SATTIVA SEED OIL, demeter, Germany

BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER, organic, Ghana

T1 group (hard waxes and butters). Shea butter regulates the moisture content of the skin and has a refatting, soothing and smoothing effect. Its unsaponifiable content strengthens the lipid barrier of the horny layer and predestines shea butter for the treatment of dry, neurodermitic and barrier-disrupted skin. It is considered to be extremely well tolerated, relaxes irritated and stressed skin. We use unrefined shea butter in our Inguz and Raido face cream.

SQUALANE, Cosmos, EU

HELIANTHUS ANNUUS SEED OIL, organic, EU

B3 group (base oils with a large proportion of linoleic acid). Due to the high linoleic acid content and the relatively low proportion of saturated fatty acids, sunflower oil is a light, non-sticking and mildly nourishing oil. The cosmetically effective α-tocopherol content has an anti-inflammatory effect and promotes the oil's absorption capacity.

I do not use sunflower oil as a base oil, as there are higher quality oils that can bring more active ingredients to the skin. However, sunflower oil is a perfect extracting medium, as it has a long shelf life and is quite stable. With the help of sunflower oil, our edelweiss extract is obtained (so-called macerate). Sunflower oil is also used as a carrier for the natural vitamin E.

As a vitamin E carrier you will find sunflower oil in all our products. As an extracting medium for edelweiss extract in Raido and Inguz facial oils.
