Our avoidance of chemical emulsifiers also prevents the so-called yo-yo effect in all our ointments and balms. Emulsifiers are additives that permanently combine oil and water. This makes the production of a cream possible. Chemical emulsifiers do not penetrate the skin but remain on the skin's surface. With every contact with water, they absorb the body's own oils. As soon as you sweat or wash, you have to reapply cream. In cosmetics, the yo-yo effect refers to the fact that the more you moisturize, the drier your skin becomes.
That's why our ointments and creams contain natural lipids. These lipids are derived from valuable oils. These lipids have a structure similar to the skin's own lipids. This allows them to penetrate the outermost protective layer – the stratum corneum. The active ingredients penetrate into the epidermis (top layer of skin). There, they supply the cells' ATP molecules and stimulate the skin's self-regeneration.
All our products are also 100% palm oil-free. Our recipes are not based on animal testing.
