The multifunctional formula with 95% naturally derived ingredients provides a thorough pH-balanced skin-friendly cleansing and mask in one, making it ideal for all skin types. The sebum-binding formula is particularly recommended for combination skin.
In order to support the multitude and diversity of the skin microbiome, postbiotics obtained from probiotic bacteria using biotechnological methods are used. These are able to increase the levels of proteins and enzymes that are important for skin quality and to accelerate skin renewal. This allows them to influence key features of the skin aging process and the skin's ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment.
To counteract skin dehydration, postbiotics derived from controlled biofermented yeast extract stimulate the synthesis of lipids in the epidermis, thereby improving the skin's barrier function and strengthening its defenses. In doing so, they restore the skin's balance and help break the vicious cycle of skin dryness and imbalance of the skin flora without harming the skin flora.
A sustainably sourced red maple bark extract, native to the boreal forests of Canada, perfectly complements the active ingredient concept. It has long been valued in traditional medicine as a potent antioxidant. Rich in highly bioactive polypheols, the extract protects against oxidative stress and prevents the first signs of skin aging.
Kaolin – also known as white clay – has played an important role in skin care, particularly in Asia, for centuries. As a highly absorbent ingredient, it helps to visibly reduce oiliness and combat unwanted shine by absorbing excess sebum on the skin's surface, as well as cleansing and removing impurities from skin types prone to acne. This minimizes blemishes and pores and mattifies the skin overall.
Valuable sunflower and grape seed oils leave the skin looking young and healthy thanks to their high content of powerful antioxidants. The high content of linoleic acid also has a regulating effect and ensures better moisture absorption and retention in the skin.
As a cleansing mask: Apply a thin, even layer 2-3 times a week to cleansed skin. Leave the mask to dry for approx. 10 minutes, then rinse off with plenty of warm water.
