Our ingredients
The majority of our ingredients are grown without the use of pesticides or other toxins. We only chose the very best, highest quality raw materials and produce all of our products locally, in Sweden. The glass bottles we use are recyclable, the plastic in the bottle our cream comes in is environmentally friendly and we strive to leave as subtle a footprint on our environment as possible – in order to achieve a natural line of skincare with lasting results.
Aloe Vera Barbadensis (Organic)
This is the most active kind of Aloe Vera, which contains all of 60 active substances. It has fantastic properties, among others healing and moisturizing, but it also accelerates the natural cell growth. It has been harvested for medicinal purposes for the last thousand years, and is used in our facial toner.
Apricot Kernel Oil (Organic)
A mild oil, rich in natural Vitamin A. Adds nourishment to the skin and makes it soft and smooth.
Castor Oil (Organic)
Popular oil, which is used in our cleansing tonic, dissolves dirt according to the “fat-dissolves-fat-principle”.
Citric Acid
An organic acid, which is used to regulate the pH value and is also an antioxidant.
Cocoa Butter (Organic)
Rich in antioxidants and has a moisturising effect. Traditionally used to prevent wrinkles and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Glycerine
We use a natural plant-based glycerine, which is commonly found in ecological products and is a natural emulsifying agent. We use an emulsifier, which is derived from fatty acids in ecologically certified olive oils. It contains Glycerine Oleate, Glycerine Stereate and Olivoyl Hydrolized Wheat Protein. The emulsification binds the cream and makes it moisturizing and softening.
Jojoba Oil (Organic)
A golden yellow oil with a unique composition of fatty acids, which are rapidly absorbed by the skin.
Peptides
Our effective combination of lipo-peptides reduces wrinkles visibly by up to 45% after only 2 months of use. Peptides are chains of naturally occurring amino acids, which stimulate the production of among other things collagen. Lack of collagen is one of the main reasons of ageing of the skin, due to a lower level of protein content. Peptides suits all skin types, as they exist naturally in your body and therefore do not cause irritation or hypersensitivity to the sun, as retinal (Vitamin A) or AHA has been known to do. We use oligo-peptides and tetrapeptide-3 (Matrixyl 3000 lipo ™) in a maximal dose (3%) for their good, performance-based effects. (It has been recommended to start using peptides as a preventative measure at the age of 24, or when you begin to see the first signs of ageing such as wrinkles. The most common age to start using them is from 30 years and onwards).
- They stimulate and effectively increase the skins own production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which means the skin repairs itself.
- A maximal amount is used in our “Skin Perfect Moisturizer” for an optimal result.
- Peptides make your skin firmer and diminishes the depth of wrinkles.
- Suitable even to sensitive skin.
A French study shows that the combination of oligo-peptides and tetrapeptide-3 have a good effect on your skin and diminishes the depth of wrinkles by 45% after only 2 months of use. In the study, which is a randomised, double-blind study, the participants had to make an estimate of the treatment themselves. The study included a full clinical assessment, a photographic assessment and a laserprofilometry, which showed the depth of the skin.
Preservation
We use as few preservatives as possible. They do, however, protect our products against mildew, bacteria and microbes. We strive to use kind and mild alternatives. Phenoxyethanol is a common ingredient in natural products and Potassium Sorbate is very mild and is even used in food.
Rosmarin antioxidant (Organic)
A completely natural yet potent antioxidant, which is very good for the skin.
Seabuckthorneseed Oil (Organic)
Seabuckthorne has been used in traditional Chinese medicine since the 9th Century. The berries are considered to be strengthening to among other things the digestive system and is used within cosmetics to revitalise and rejuvenate the skin. Seabuckthorne is found in the wild here in Sweden. It is known to slow the aging process of the skin and is therefore an ultimate ingredient in the anti-age and anti-pigmentations treatments, and especially for the sensitive area around the eye. You will therefore find it as a recurring ingredient throughout our entire line of products.
- High content of beta-carotene, Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9, which add lots of nourishment to your skin.
- Increases the skins regeneration process.
- Has calming properties on the skin.
- Anti-inflammatory and contains a high percentage of protective anti-oxidants.
- Increases the skins ability to self-heal.
