Ingredients Glossary

Squalane helps improve skin hydration and is a natural component of the skin’s lipid barrier, making up 15% of it. It leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth without any greasy residue. We use COSMOS and USDA Organic-certified squalane, sustainably derived from sugarcane.

Effectiveness starts at the base. Our cream base is made from pure phosphatidylcholine, a fundamental component of every cell membrane in the body. This makes it the perfect carrier for our vitamins and active ingredients. Additionally, it helps strengthen the skin barrier and supports skin renewal.

Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E that we use in many of our products.

Panthenol, also known as Provitamin B5, is widely recognized as an active ingredient in wound-healing ointments—and for good reason. Panthenol stimulates cell renewal, promoting the skin’s natural regeneration process. But that’s not all: it also helps deeply hydrate the skin, making it a must-have ingredient in any moisturizer.

Resveratrol is often referred to as the longevity molecule, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in numerous studies. It protects against free radicals, stimulates collagen production, and helps shield the skin from UV-induced damage.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a specialized form of vitamin C. It is highly stable in creams, offering long-lasting and gentle effects. Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis, promoting firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Studies have even shown that Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate can help reduce the appearance of age spots.

Retinyl Palmitate is the fat-soluble form of retinol, known for its excellent tolerability. It promotes collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Additionally, it supports the formation of keratinocytes, resulting in visibly smoother skin.

Ceramides are responsible for enabling the skin to perform its protective function. There are nine different types of ceramides, with Ceramide AP also known as Ceramide 6. Our Hautcreme+ and Bodylotion+ contain a blend of five ceramides.

The term Ubiquinone refers to Coenzyme Q10. It supports cellular renewal and protects the skin against free radicals, making it a well-known and effective anti-aging ingredient.

Linoleic acid is an unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid naturally present in our skin. As a component of ceramides, it contributes to healthy, radiant skin. Linoleic acid provides intense hydration and is part of the skin’s natural moisturizing system—the “Natural Moisturizing Factor” (NMF). Additionally, it is known for its strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Our bodies are primarily composed of water, with the remainder consisting of cells. Sphingosines are essential components of these cells, playing a key role in building the skin barrier and fighting inflammation. From the sphingosines we use, all types of ceramides—fundamental elements of the skin—can be formed. This helps the skin retain optimal hydration and maintain a healthy glow. We use specialized plant-based sphingosines that work particularly well in creams.
