What do we do with it?

Aloe vera gel – a miracle plant for hydration and regeneration
Aloe vera gel is full of vitamins, enzymes and amino acids that hydrate the skin, soothe irritation and promote regeneration. Thanks to its light composition, it is also suitable for sensitive skin and will help it fight against redness or irritation. It refreshes, intensively cares for the skin and is great as a base for skin and hair masks. So it cannot be missing in ours!

Urea – moisture retention specialist
Don’t let its name scare you, urea is the secret weapon to hydrated, supple skin. It occurs naturally in our skin as part of the moisturizing factor that keeps skin supple. It works as a powerful humectant – drawing water into the deeper layers of the skin and preventing it from drying out. It also helps to gently remove dead skin cells, leaving skin smooth, soft and ready to absorb other beneficial substances.

Niacinamide – even tone and radiant skin within reach

Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, is a master of skin care. It helps reduce age spots, evens out skin tone, and regulates sebum production, making it a great ally for all skin types—from oily to sensitive. It also strengthens the skin barrier, protects against harmful external factors, and promotes collagen production. The result? Firmer, more elastic, and healthier skin.

Hyaluronic acid – the greatest hydration expert

You probably know hyaluronic acid. It is used to care for dry, mature, tired and problematic skin. It works a bit like a water magnet. Hyaluronic acid can retain up to a thousand times its weight in water in the skin, which makes it an unrivaled fighter against dehydration. It instantly makes the skin fresher, fuller and smoother, i.e. without fine wrinkles and fine lines. Adding hyaluronic acid to a product ensures that the skin gets a good dose of moisture and elasticity.

Cucumber oil – a refreshing vitamin bomb

Cucumber oil is a hidden treasure in skin care. It is incredibly light, absorbs quickly, and provides deep nourishment and protection to the skin. It contains vitamin E and phytosterols, which help regenerate and soothe the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for sensitive skin or skin prone to redness. In our mask, it provides not only extra care, but also a pleasant refreshing effect.
