How Natural Cosmetics Benefit Dry Skin

Natural cosmetics are much more than meet the eye. With their natural ingredients, they pave the way to greater balance for dry and very dry skin. Plant oils strengthen the skin’s protective barrier with lipids similar to those of our skin and stimulate its self-regulating capabilities, leading to more effective moisture retention.

Our skin is a living organ. What could be better in supporting its natural functions than a skin care product made with natural ingredients?  Plant oils or lanolin, for example, are ideal in this regard. They are readily absorbed into the skin and replenish its protective barrier, as they are similar to the skin’s own lipids. As a result, our skin dries out less. It receives nourishment while maintaining its ability to breathe. 

Plant extracts can soothe and regenerate stressed skin

Pansy

Also known as Viola tricolor, this precious herb is appreciated for its soothing and moisturising properties. It has a long traditional use for rough, cracked skin, as extract of pansy soothes flaky skin.

Camomile

This gentle herb possesses soothing properties and is ideal for delicate skin. It is often used in combination with calendula for mild skin care.

Rosemary

Rosemary is known for its revitalising, stimulating and toning action. Rosemary leaf extract enhances the skin´s regenerative processes.

Marigold

Calendula blossoms gently nourish and regenerate dry skin. Important components are carotenoids, flavonoids and essential oils.
