Ingredients – what’s in it?
All ingredients are pure natural & vegan and all have a clear function, there is nothing in them that is superfluous. This may seem like a long list for a natural product at first glance. However, it’s all the ingredients that are really needed plus the so-called subingredients, such as all the components of the natural essential oils used. If you have a question about an ingredient, take a look at the FAQ or contact me. I like to be completely transparent.

Explanation – what does all this mean?
Aqua: water
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil: sunflower oil (organic). Rich in vitamins A, E and C. Contains more linoleic acid than regular sunflower oil. Soothes the skin, is deeply moisturizing
Rosa Damascena Flower Water: rose water (organic) gives a wonderful scent, nourishes the skin intensively and harmonizes
Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil: macadamia oil (organic) Macadamia oil is a particularly rich oil, which is pressed from the macadamia nuts and is therefore of natural origin. It is rich in palmitoleic acid, vitamins A, B, E and minerals. It resembles human skin fat and is therefore well tolerated. Macadamia oil absorbs quickly into the skin and, unlike many other oils, does not leave an annoying fat film behind. Extra good for dry, flaky and sensitive skin. The skin becomes supple, smooth and richly cared for.
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil: (biological) jojoba oil, softens the skin, restores the skin and regulates sebum secretion.
Coconut Nucifera Oil: coconut oil (biological) Pure coconut oil forms a protective film on the skin that ensures that even sensitive and very dry skin remains well hydrated.

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil: geranium essential oil. It has a skin nourishing, calming and sebum regulating effect
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil: (biologically) clear, cornfield argan oil, which consists of about 80% oil and linoleic acid. The oil is quickly absorbed by the skin and leaves it velvety and silky soft to the touch. This oil optimizes the barrier function of the skin and therefore lends itself well to the care of dry skin.
Cetyl Palmitate: soothes the skin and improves the condition of the skin

July 2017; the lavender is in bloom in the garden, a bright sunny warm day. I’m at Stella’s house, she shares her knowledge with Judith to make her dream come true. June 2020; When I smell the lavender in the night cream, a smile appears on my face; her dream has come true and how. What a delicious pure cream. Pure nature, you feel the attention and love.

In addition to the Fresh New Day Deodorant, I now also use the Enjoy your Day Cream and the Good Night Cream. Both creams are fresh, soft and non-greasy. It’s nice to use real pure nature products for my skin.

Since a few weeks I use the Good Night Cream, I have a very sensitive skin with often eczema. It’s a very fine night cream, with a lovely lavender scent, has a very soothing effect on my skin. I have much less eczema since I use this product. I can recommend it to anyone who has sensitive skin, you won’t regret it.
