INGREDIENTS

WE WANT TO BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE WITH YOU

That's why you'll find a list of all the ingredients we use in our products here. Behind each name is a short description that explains where the ingredient comes from and what effect it has on your skin. We also show you honestly where we see potential for improvement. You will see a note on the raw materials in question in the description.

WHERE DO OUR RAW MATERIALS COME FROM ?

We take various aspects into consideration when making our selection. One of these is that we try to source every raw material regionally wherever possible. As this is unfortunately not feasible in some cases, we also use countries outside Europe. Due to the variety of ingredients you will find in our products and the quantity we need them in, we also need to ensure that the raw materials are available in sufficient quantities to ensure a resilient value chain. This may mean that in exceptional cases, such as crop failures, we have to resort to other countries of origin at short notice.
