Active ingredients

• Ashwagandha / sleepberry (Withania somnifera) is an integral part of Ayurveda and is also known as “Indian ginseng”. Sleepberry is known for its ability to calm, soothe and strengthen the body. Ashwaganda can help support a variety of processes in the body. It can strengthen the immune system and support the body's cognitive, hormonal and neurological systems. The adaptogen supports collagen production, has strong antioxidant properties and has antimicrobial and antibacterial effects. Adaptogenic herbs and plants help keep our organism in balance.
• Murumuru butter (Astrocaryum murumura seed butter) is obtained from seeds of the Murumuru palm. Used by locals in the Amazon for centuries, the butter moisturizes and soothes dry, cracked and sensitive skin. With an effective composition of essential fatty acids and pro-vitamin A, Murumura helps restore the elasticity of mature and damaged skin. The butter also has strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, penetrates the skin quickly and leaves the skin feeling smooth, velvety-soft.
• Betaine (betaine, betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, trimethylglycine, glycine betaine) is a natural amino acid derivative that is obtained from sugar molasses (e.g. sugar beet). Depending on the form, betaine is used in skin care or as a surfactant. In skin care, betaine has a conditioning effect, relieves irritation and protects against drying out. It has high moisturizing properties.
• Hibiscus (Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis Flower Powder / Hibiscus Sabdari ff a Flower Extract) has also been referred to as the "botox plant" because of its firming and lifting properties for the skin. Hibiscus contains natural AHA, which can speed cell renewal, exfoliate the skin easily, and control acne breakouts. Hibiscus strengthens elasticity, promotes regeneration and moisturizes skin and hair, and the presence of anthocyanocides helps make pores appear smaller due to its astringent properties.
• Jasmine (Jasminum Officinale Oil / Extract) - the sensual, soft and exotic floral scent of jasmine has a calming effect, improves mood, alleviates fears and is said to have an energizing and aphrodisiac effect. Jasmine has an antibacterial and blood circulation-enhancing effect, it promotes the self-regeneration of skin cells and combats inflammatory skin conditions.
• Lotus flower/seed extract (Lotus Flower (Nelumbo Nucifera)) is rich in vitamins and contains proteins, tannins and flavonoids. The plant helps in the fight against oxidative stress and ensures better moisture penetration of the skin. Lotus has a balancing, calming effect, normalizes sebum production, strengthens the skin's protective barrier and thus protects against harmful environmental pollution. The beautiful aquatic plant was used by queens in ancient India for beauty baths and has a long tradition in Asia as an active ingredient in medicine and cosmetics.
• Squalane or squalane oil (squalane) is a light, non-comedogenic and non-greasy oil that leaves your 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 skin's own fats from oxidizing. The regenerating oil prevents age spots, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, makes the skin supple and promotes the oxygen supply and regeneration of the cells. It is mostly obtained from olive oil, more rarely from rice germ or wheat germ oil. For cosmetics, squalene is converted into squalane. Squalane no longer contains any unsaturated compounds and is therefore resistant to oxidation and has a longer shelf life.
• Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronic acid / sodium hyaluronate) stores moisture up to 1000 times its weight. Hyaluronic acid is a main component of the connective tissue, it fills and supports the connective tissue. Due to its ability to bind large amounts of water, it is responsible for the moisture content of the skin. Hyaluronic acid also promotes the firmness and elasticity of the skin. As we age, we lose our natural hyaluronic acid, which is a major cause of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps fill in fine lines and plump the skin.
• Sarsaparilla root, also known as Hemidesmus indicus, is a plant that has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine. In Ayurvedic practice, sarsaparilla root is valued for its diverse health benefits. It is traditionally used to promote detoxification, support liver health and improve skin.
• Punarnava root, botanically known as Boerhavia diffusa, is an important plant in Ayurvedic medicine. In Ayurvedic practice, Punarnava root is valued for its diverse health benefits. It contains bioactive compounds such as punarnavosides, alkaloids and flavonoids, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties. These properties help reduce inflammation, redness and swelling, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin.
• Licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is known for its skin-smoothing and itching-relieving properties and is therefore used for inflamed, irritated and sensitive skin. Its effect against viruses and bacteria makes licorice a sought-after ingredient.
