philosophy
We have remained true to this philosophy to this day.
We combine the basic building blocks of the skin with high-dose, pure active ingredients. No complicated care rituals. We rely on honesty, transparency and only dermatologically sound products. Natural ingredients equal active ingredients.
The natural cosmetics series "Chi" combines western cosmetics with Asian philosophy. The basic idea is the Feng Shui teaching, which aims to harmonize people with their environment. Western cosmetics stand for high-quality, natural care through special ingredients such as phytohormones, frangipani, mango butter, tomato, argan, jojoba, avocado and almond oil. The Asian philosophy of life is embodied by the essential oils, which have been individually coordinated by a Feng Shui consultant, and by the added rock crystals charged by sunlight, which give their positive energy to the product and thus strengthen the energizing effect of the essential oils.
The aim is to create new and unique products for the holistic well-being (body, mind, soul) of people in harmony with nature.
Quality
How do we achieve such a long shelf life without preservatives?
Every cosmetic product must be safe for the end user. This includes suitable protection against germs and fungi in order to make the product last longer. Water is a point of attack for germs. If a cosmetic does not contain this (such as Chi body and massage oil energy), it is sufficient to use an antioxidant (natural vitamin E) which prevents the natural oils from becoming rancid. If the product contains water, it must be protected from germs and this must be proven in complex tests.
We have achieved this in a natural way, through
- strict hygiene during production on modern machines
- Use of natural fragrance components with preservative effect and best tolerability
- partial addition of organic alcohol (Chi facial toner energy with frangipani - 15%, Chi foot and leg gel energy with horse chestnut - 15%), without causing the skin to dry out
- Addition of natural moisturizing factors such as glycerin and sorbitol (sugar syrup), which bind the water so strongly that it no longer offers a surface for germs to attack
Our products contain highly dosed and balanced active ingredients.
There is no single miracle ingredient.
The real miracle is completely natural: our skin is able to heal and repair itself. We support your skin in this complex process with a variety of vitamins and active ingredients. We combine these based on decades of research and current studies.

Certified gluten-free natural cosmetics
All of our products (except 2) meet the requirements to be labeled gluten-free.
People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease must follow a strict gluten-free diet. Celiac disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease and is an autoimmune disease. Celiac disease means that the intestine reacts to the intake of gluten in food with an immunological reaction. Gluten is a grain protein, the gluten protein, which is found in wheat, but also in various other types of grain.
New scientific findings confirm that celiac disease or gluten intolerance is involved in the development of numerous diseases. Typical symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis are painful, itchy, hives-like skin rashes, blisters, swelling and hives, which can appear primarily on the knees and elbows, but also on the face. The underlying celiac disease causes the body's own immune system to produce these skin reactions.
Dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring, also known as Duhring's disease , is a very rare special form of celiac disease on the skin. It is initially accompanied by severe itching, small pimples or pustules, which later develop into blisters. As the disease progresses, the skin condition worsens. It is assumed that every patient with dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring also suffers from celiac disease, which, however, is often asymptomatic and does not cause any problems in the gastrointestinal tract.
Anyone who suffers from gluten intolerance should also pay attention to the ingredients in cosmetics as a precaution.
Gluten is also sometimes found in cosmetics. Gluten-containing ingredients such as wheat bran extract, wheat protein and wheat germ oil in products such as shampoos, body lotions or lip balms can also irritate healthy skin. Gluten-free cosmetics are therefore also recommended for people with sensitive skin.

Vegan
Of course, we are “cruelty-free”: According to the Claims Regulation, this has long been prohibited in advertising, as animal testing for cosmetics or their ingredients has been banned throughout the EU since 2013; this also applies to products imported into the EU.
More and more people are choosing to avoid animal substances in cosmetic products. Vegan cosmetics do not contain any ingredients of animal origin such as hyaluronic acid, wool wax, mare's milk, honey, beeswax... Only substances of plant, mineral or synthetic origin are permitted.
Ecologically
Conservation of resources is our declared goal. The majority of our oils are obtained through CO2 extraction, which is gentle on both the oil and the environment. We deliberately avoid using secondary packaging and develop and produce in Germany with a view to the best quality and minimal use of resources. Our primary packaging is optimally recyclable and shipping is CO2 optimized.
