OUR FORMULAS

Most organic creams are composed of 30-40% water and a large amount of chemically modified ingredients.

The skin, however, cannot recognize these altered substances and they remain on the skin surface. The amount of active ingredients is often only 20-30%. Marie Carrasquedo has investigated during 50 years to create a cream that contains 100% active ingredients, using only physical processing of the ingredients.

The result is the purest and most effective superfood for the skin.

CREAM FORMULAS

PHYSICAL MODIFICATION OF INGREDIENTS

Our physical production processes such as cold pressing and maceration preserve the utmost amount of pure plants nutrients, which are absorbed immediately and allow the skin to breathe freely.

This is why our fresh, unaltered ingredients are displayed with their original Latin plant name on the label:

Opuntia ficus-indica seed oil
Hippophae rhamnoides fruit extract
Althaea officinalis root extract
Aqua, Rosa damascena flower oil
Butyrospermum parkii butter
Persea gratissima oil
Macadamia ternifolia seed oil
Butyrospermum parkii butter
Pueraria lobata root extract
etc.

CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF INGREDIENTS

Today’s organic certification accept the chemical alteration of natural ingredients such as the hydrogenation of oils, yet we consider that such sub-products burden the skin as well as the wastewater.

Therefore, we don’t use these chemically modified substances. You can identify them on the label by their new laboratory names:

Cet-, Stea-, -yl, -side, ide
Glycerin
Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides
Stearate
Cetearyl Alcohol
Cetyl Palmitate
Xanthan Gum
etc.

BIOAVAILABLE

All our products are made from ingredients that the human organism recognises. You could even eat them.

This makes each product bioavailable, meaning that the skin can recognise all ingredients and can therefore absorb and transport them into the deeper layers of the skin.

The concentrated plant nutrients potentiate the skin’s own regeneration powers, obtaining transformative and longterm results.

POTENT

Ingredients are the key to the efficacy of a skincare product. Each of our fresh, raw and potent creations contains a magic blend of the most precious organic plants, essential oils, cold pressed vegetable oils, and energising Kaolin clay.

The nutrients’ extraction process is as important as the quality of the ingredients. To ensure the ideal concentration, we determine the optional harvesting time for each plant and process each extract according to our specialised techniques.

SCIENCE

50 years of scientific investigation of plants and their medicinal powers are the bases of our special formulas. The plants we select work in synergy and invigorate each other, activating and calming the skin at the same time.

The appropriate dosages provide maximum benefits and assure compatibility with the most sensitive skintypes. The result are formulas with 100% active, and highly efficient ingredients, which restructure and rejuvenate the skin.

PURE

We have eliminated ingredients such as hydrogenated fats, alcohol, fillers, gums and waxes, even if they are accepted by most organic certifications. These substances can suffocate and seal the skin, interfering with its natural functions. Our unique formulas contain only nutrients, which penetrate deep beyond the surface and accelerate cellular regeneration, visibly rejuvenating the skin.

100% ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

We only use active ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the skin. Our products do NOT contain fillers (such as Stearate, Glycerin, Xantham Gum, etc.), synthetic preservatives or tensioactives.

This absolute concentration of nutrients provides the skin with the maximum potency, which is the reason for the surprising results of the products.

Our raw materials come from biodynamic agriculture, wildcrafted plants, first cold-pressing vegetable oils and the highest quality of organic essential oils.

ADAPTOGENIC

We have selected the most powerful ingredients to help the skin protect itself from the daily aggressions of today’s life.

The Opuntia cactus can survive in the extremest climates and develops highly beneficial adaptogenic properties. The seeds of its fruits are pressed to provide us with an exceptional oil.

It takes roughly 1000 kilos of fruits to obtain 1 litre of this precious liquid gold. Its extraordinary balance of Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9 restores the equilibrium, texture and radiance of all skin types, from dry to oily

PURE PLANT EXTRACTS

In our laboratory we produce our own plant extracts and do not buy them from third parties.

This is an essential part of ensuring the highest quality of bioactive plant nutrients.

We carefully select organic or wild crafted plants and apply gentle extraction methods to provide the skin with their purest and unaltered properties.

ORGANIC, VEGAN & CRUELTY FREE

We do not use any animal ingredients in our products such as beeswax or wool wax (lanolin). None of our products and ingredients have been tested on animals.

Our products are certified cruelty free and vegan by PETA. We do not sell our products in China, as this would require animal testing.

All our products are certified organic by CPAEN and they are palm oil free.

ENERGISING

Our products are bottled in premium dark violet glass that energetically activates and preserves each formula.

This special glass acts as a natural filter and only lets the beneficial sunlight in, which lengthens the lifespan and increases the potency of each product.

Sprayed-, white-, green- and brown glass are permeable in the visible light spectrum and don’t offer enough protection against decomposition caused by light. As an experiment, herbs were stored for 3 months in several types of glass (white, brown, violet), and were either exposed to the sun for several hours a day or kept inside. The power of preservation of each glass type can be observed on the left.
