marigold
ThemarigoldIts orange and yellow blossoms enchant both animals and humans. It attracts beneficial insects (bees and butterflies) and has become an indispensable part of the medicine cabinet. Therefore, you'll find the marigold in every cottage garden. Before the advent of weather apps, farmers used the marigold as a weather forecaster. The marigold recognizes the signs of nature and folds its petals when rainy weather is approaching.
Its original home can no longer be clearly determined, as the marigold is one of the oldest plants used by humans.
Calendula is one of the most effective wound-healing plants, especially when applied externally. Its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties help with injured, inflamed, sensitive, and irritated skin.
Shea butter
Shea butteris a high-quality, nourishing base care product for creams and balms. It promotes skin elasticity through its moisturizing, soothing, and smoothing properties.
Macadamia oil
Macadamia oilMacadamia nut oil is a non-drying oil. Its high fat content and high palmitoleic acid content create a pleasant sensation when applied to the skin.
The nuts come from the macadamia nut tree. This tree grows in warm tropical regions. Its cultivation areas are limited due to its high demands. The first harvest of the chestnut-like stone fruits is only possible after about 10 years. The fruits fall from the tree and are collected by hand. The coveted macadamia nut is located in the core of these stone fruits. A long drying time is required to even crack the stone fruits and thus harvest the macadamia nut. It is therefore understandable that macadamia nuts are among the most expensive nuts in the world.
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oilis extracted from the fruits of the jojoba shrub. This evergreen shrub grows in deserts and semi-deserts. The olive-like fruits contain small, brown seeds. Jojoba oil is pressed from these seeds. Jojoba oil is not actually an oil, but a wax-like substance. Jojoba oil has antioxidant properties and slows down skin aging. It is rich in vitamin E and provitamin A and has excellent skincare properties.

This method is the most environmentally friendly, effective, and safest way to get the most out of the plant material.

With the CO2 extraction method, 95% of the CO2 used in each extraction is recovered. The CO2 remains in the process cycle, producing no harmful byproducts.
Why effective?
This method enables a gentle extraction of secondary plant substances.
Why safe?
The ingredients extracted from natural plants are free of solvent residues. This process can be used for organic products. No CO2 residues are found in the final product.
