Sensitive SPF15 Daycream

About the Product 

Sensitive skin requires gentle and effective care. In order to restore the balance of the skin, its natural protective barrier must be strengthened. In this respect, aggressive active ingredients are absolutely out of place. Nature offers everything your sensitive skin needs. With our Sensitive SPF15 day cream, we provide your skin with moisture as well as additional protection against harmful sun rays. The active ingredient complex of hemp oil, oat and chamomile extract protect your skin from external influences while making it strong. This cream quickly absorbs into the skin and leaves it feeling velvety-soft - without whitening.

The story behind the product 

We believe that nature provides the best active ingredients for your skin. That's why our products are 100% natural. We are constantly searching for the best active ingredients for individual skin needs. Thus, our Sensitive series and the Sensitive SPF15 Day Cream were born. The aim was to create a cream which soothes and restores your skin. At the same time, we wanted things to be as simple as possible for you and thus created a cream that is ideal for day and night care. It strengthens your skin from the inside out and gives it a natural glow. Completely natural and without compromise.

Made near you

Our goal is to reduce CO2 emissions in the production of our products to an absolute minimum along with making our products as sustainable as possible. For our new Sensitive series, from the very beginning we were committed to going the extra mile to achieve this. This already started with finding the right ingredients. After all, the natural world around us also has a lot of good things to offer your skin.

Therefore, 87% of the ingredients of our Sensitive SPF15 Day Cream originate from Europe and 75% from Germany. Our Sensitive SPF15 Day Cream is lovingly mixed and bottled exclusively in a small family business in Lower Saxony. And we go one step further: As the creation of our products cannot be done without CO2, we support climate protection projects which compensate for these CO2 emissions. Thus, we can produce our products for you in a climate-neutral way.

Frequently asked questions about this product

Is the product a mineral sun protection factor?
Yes, we use titanium dioxide as an SPF in our products. In fact, it is a mineral sun protection factor. These filter particles lie on your skin and reflect the UV rays. Thus, the light protection filter does not penetrate the skin and will not cause any long-term side effects.

How many times a day should I apply Sensitive SPF15 day cream to ensure sun protection??
Apply the cream each morning following your cleansing ritual. Re-apply throughout your day whenever you are outdoors for an extended period of time. Our general recommendation is to avoid intense sun exposure for prolonged periods of time - especially during the hot midday hours.

Is the day cream suitable only in summer?
No, our Sensitive SPF15 day cream makes the perfect companion for both summer and winter. Protection against UVA and UVB rays is very important in summer as well as in all other seasons, as dangerous UV rays penetrate even through cloud cover.

What is the pH-value of the product?
5,0-6,0

Sustainability

Where do my ingredients come from?
100% of my ingredients originate from Europe. In fact, over 54% of them come directly from Germany.

Where am I produced?
100% Made in Europa. I am made with love by a family company from Portugal.

How is my recycling rate?
My outer packaging and the glass that surrounds me are made from recycled materials.

Where is my pump from?
The pump I use originates from a little further away. We are, of course, continuing to work on ensuring that it, too, will shortly no longer have to travel a long way. The original plan was to source my pump from Europe. However, something came along that threw us all off track a bit: Covid19. In order to still be able to provide you with your care, my pump has traveled a long way from China. It will be replaced promptly with the original pump from Europe.

Where is my bottle from?
My bottle originates from a small family business in Austria and is made from 87% recycled materials. 44% of it stems from recycled glass cullet that has been created in industry. The other 43% represents post-consumer recycled glass, that you have already disposed of at some point in the used glass container.

Where is my label from?
My label takes a new approach of sustainable material extraction: zero tree cutting, zero water and zero bleach. My stone film consists of 80% calcium carbonate and 20% high-density recycled polyethylene. My calcium carbonate comprises stone dust created during quarrying in a marble quarry. You can dispose of my stone foil label in your yellow garbage can in order to return it to the recycling loop.

What is my outer packaging made out of?
My folding carton is made from 100% recycled paper. With recycled paper, the fibers may look different each time it is produced, therefore you may notice that not every one of my cartons is 100% identical. To me, it's more important to have an eco-friendly and sustainable envelope than to look perfect.
