Vanilla belongs to the family of orchids. The sweet, warm and seed-like smelling vanilla extract is obtained by extraction from the fermented capsule-like fruit. It spoils the skin and the senses with its volatile scent.

• well tolerated
• relaxing

A semi-compact compound of hydrocarbons extracted from petroleum by distillation. Vaseline boasts excellent hydrating properties and makes particularly dry, cracked skin zones soft and supple.

• refatting attributes
• especially for care of dry and cracked skin areas

Vegetable active substances are contained in the red leaves of the vine – so-called flavonoids, which tighten connective tissue.

• astringent

Known as a protective epithelial vitamin, promotes the epithelization of injured skin tissue. Used in creams and body oils for the treatment of reddened and rough skin. Excellent in combating age-related skin changes as well as keratotic, dry skin.  Vitamin A can be extracted from many plants; carrots have a particularly high vitamin A content.

• smoothes and softens skin
• stimulates cell division (balances the callusing processes of the skin)
• supports epithelialisation of bruised skin tissues
• supports skin metabolism

Vitamin C is - for instance - obtained from citrus fruit. It supports collagen production (builds connective tissue and tightens) and improves the moisture storing capacity of the skin. In addition, vitamin C neutralizes cell-damaging free radicals as antioxidant and prevents from early skin aging.

• supports collagen synthesis
• prevents free radicals
• improves moisture storing capacity
• regenerating

In natural form, vitamin E is found in many plants (e.g. wheat, lettuce, sesame and avocado) and animal products (e.g. liver, egg yolk, milk and lard). The most fertile source for the extraction of vitamin E is the wheat germ, a kilogram of which yields approx. 400-500 mg of active vitamin E. From within the skin it can favourably influence  the moisture content of the horny layer of the skin and reduces fine wrinkles arising from weather impact. Connective tissue damage, metabolic disorders and deficient blood circulation are symptoms of vitamin E deficiency.

• stimulates
• promotes granulation
• firms the tissues
• anti-inflammatory
• strengthens the moisture storing capacity of callus

(Essential fatty acids)

Colourless oils that can be extracted from a wide variety of vegetable oils (e.g. poppy-seed, sunflower and soya oils). The human body is unable to store the most effective of the fatty acids, namely linoleic acid and arachidonic acid, and these have to be absorbed via food or the skin. Even small quantities used in cosmetic products already lead to a marked improvement of vitamin F deficiency symptoms. Symptoms of vitamin F deficiency include hair loss, dandruff, dry and rough skin, abnormal keratinisation and eczema.

• combats the above deficiency symptoms 
• improves callusing disturbances and nourishes skin to render it smooth
