Questions About Payment and Shipping
We usually ship packages on the next business day after your order. Typically, your order will arrive within 2-3 days via DHL.
For samples, we ship nationwide in Germany using Deutsche Post Warenpost to offer free shipping. While shipping is generally quick, it may occasionally take a few extra days. Unfortunately, we have no control over postal transit times.

Quite simply: yes.
Our products contain no animal-derived ingredients or ingredients of animal origin. Without exception.
We recommend using plain tap water and our Mikrofasertuch+ for facial cleansing.
Our products are fresh cosmetics with a natural shelf life due to their high concentration of pure active ingredients. Once opened, they are good for 6 months.
However, the products don’t spoil like milk, for example. Only some active ingredients may start to gradually lose their effectiveness over time.
Quite simply: Yes. All of our products are absolutely cruelty-free.
A quick thought on this topic: Pharmacist Hartmut Beyer originally developed all of our products for himself and his family. This meant he only used ingredients he knew were safe and well-tolerated. If an ingredient needs to be tested on animals to determine whether it’s safe for users, what does that say about the company’s philosophy?
We, the sons, began using Hautcreme+ as an after-sun lotion during its very early development stages (about 15 years ago). We like to joke that, “We don’t do animal testing, only kid testing!” ;)
Our products go beyond natural cosmetics—we take it a step further.
Our inspiration comes from the human body itself. We include only ingredients that benefit the skin and never cause harm.
Unlike conventional natural cosmetics, we strictly avoid:
Essential oils
Alcohol
Animal-derived ingredients
Fragrances and colorants
For us, sustainability means creating products without compromise—the best for your skin and the best for the environment. That’s why we source sustainably produced ingredients and always select the highest quality for you, preferably certified to the rigorous Ecocert standard.
Our concept
Hautcreme+ is performance-driven skincare designed to deliver lasting, sustainable effects. We focus on skin-identical ingredients and a balanced combination of active ingredients.

The cream
To achieve exceptional results, you need to start with the basics. Our cream base is made from pure phosphatidylcholine (INCI: Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine). As a natural component of every cell membrane in the body, it’s the perfect carrier for vitamins and active ingredients. It also helps strengthen the skin barrier and supports skin renewal. For many users, phosphatidylcholine promotes a refined, healthy complexion.

Our “free-from” philosophy
In our concept, cheap substitutes like mineral oils or silicones have no place. We consistently avoid ingredients that could have harmful effects. Naturally, we exclude hormonally active substances like parabens. By completely avoiding colorants and fragrances, Hautcreme+ is also suitable for allergy sufferers.
The effects of Hautcreme+ can be divided into three key phases:
1.
Protection & hydration:
Hautcreme+ contains high-quality moisturizers such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and panthenol. These ingredients protect the skin from environmental stressors, soothe irritation, and provide essential hydration.
2.
Deep action:
The concentrated vitamins support the skin’s natural functions. Our skincare is designed to reduce the signs of premature aging, strengthen the collagen structure, and counteract the causes of wrinkle formation.
3.
Restoring balance:
Phosphatidylcholine promotes skin renewal and helps reduce blemishes, while ceramides gradually rebuild the skin barrier. A strong skin barrier helps the skin defend itself against daily stressors.
Hautcreme+ was developed as an anti-aging facial care product. Its carefully selected ingredients are designed to support the skin’s natural functions, making it suitable for the entire body.
