Powerful ingredients

The power of all-natural ingredients

Throughout most of human evolution, we have lived in a pure natural environment. That environment offers everything we need: Our ancestors gathered their food, medicines, household remedies and care products directly from their surroundings. The age of hunter-gatherers is long gone, but an understanding of nature’s power is purely modern, thanks to the natural cosmetics trend – and for great reasons.

Science over mysticism

To early man, the natural environment was full of secrets and miracles. Today, mysticism has been replaced by science. Modern man can verify what early man knew from experience. Nevertheless, we still marvel at the natural world's rich bounty: Humanity has rediscovered the value of the active ingredients packed inside plants and minerals, beeswax and honey, through natural cosmetics.

Natural cosmetics on the rise

Today, the demand for natural products is high, and is gaining on that of long-reigning traditional cosmetic products. Where does this shift in perception come from? There are many reasons: Traditional cosmetics use a large number of artificial or chemically manufactured ingredients. Many people do not tolerate these ingredients well, and may react with allergies or skin irritation.
What’s more: some traditional cosmetic products fail to deliver on their promised effects, especially over the long-term. Last but not least: today's consumer is much more environmentally aware. Many of the active ingredients used in traditional cosmetics are non-biodegradable.
