FAQ: Our active ingredients & their effects

  1. Scientific evidence: Every active ingredient must demonstrate proven effectiveness in studies.
  2. Natural origin: Wherever possible, we use plant-based or biotechnologically derived active ingredients.
  3. Synergistic effect: All ingredients are combined in such a way that they complement and potentiate each other – without overtaxing the skin.



No. Our formulations are free of parabens, silicones, microplastics, PEGs, and mineral oils. Instead, we rely on modern formulation technologies with natural emulsifiers and environmentally friendly alternatives.

"3D Hyaluronic Acid" is a combination of high-, medium-, and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acids. These different molecular sizes penetrate different skin layers, providing immediate and long-lasting hydration —from the surface to deeper levels.

The majority of our products are vegan. When animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax or lanolin are used, this is only done if no equivalent vegan alternative guarantees the same effectiveness and tolerability . In all cases, we disclose this transparently.

Our products are tested by independent dermatological institutes for skin compatibility, potential for irritation, and safety of use. For us, the "dermatologically tested" seal means: not a marketing promise, but clinical reality.

We work with raw material suppliers who support their active ingredients with scientifically sound studies. Some of our finished formulations are currently undergoing in vivo tests to validate their efficacy —this data is gradually being incorporated into our communications.

We combine clean beauty with real performance : Our products combine luxurious textures, modern active ingredient research, and consistent skin compatibility. No purely natural products, no purely laboratory solutions—but the essence of both worlds .
