Does your skin react quickly, feeling tight, itchy, or rough as soon as it's exposed to too much? This skincare is made precisely for such sensitive, easily stressed skin.

For which skin type?

Many skincare products are designed for "normal" or only slightly sensitive skin – if you have more sensitive skin, you often won't find them truly suitable.

This skincare line is especially suitable for sensitive, dry skin prone to redness and itching. Each product contains a 21-mineral complex of magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, and other trace elements that support the skin barrier and can help alleviate feelings of dryness, tightness, itching, and visible redness, leaving your skin feeling calmer, softer, and more balanced.

The goal of care

Many conventional skincare products for atopic dermatitis, itching, and redness focus primarily on rapid relief: symptoms should subside as quickly as possible, and the skin should "function" again. This often involves the use of highly regulating formulas – however, a long-term feeling of relaxed skin and truly balanced skin are not always the main focus.

If your skin is stressed, tight, burning, rough or scratchy after a long day – then this routine should help it feel a bit more "calmed down".

Use in everyday life

Many products are suitable as long as your skin is relatively normal. However, as soon as it reacts more strongly, you tend to resort to emergency solutions rather than a daily, complementary skincare routine.

You'll receive skincare without fragrances, parabens, vegan ingredients, and consciously reduced – featuring our unique 21-mineral complex made from over 400,000-year-old spring water from Northern Germany, which we filter in-house and test for its exceptionally high mineral content. This ensures your skin experiences minimal irritation while receiving valuable minerals.

Ingredients

They often contain perfume, alcohol, or other additives that can further irritate your sensitive skin.

You don't have to fight your way through endless shelves: A streamlined, clearly structured product range quickly shows you which products suit you and your skin's needs.

range

You might know the feeling: too many lines, too many promises – and in the end you still don't know what your sensitive skin really needs.

You can test our products at your leisure and see how your skin reacts – with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and fair shipping conditions. We understand that people with problem skin have often tried many things and spent a lot of money. That's precisely why you can try our products risk-free: If your skin doesn't react as you hope, you'll receive a full refund, no questions asked.

Test risk-free

Often, there is only the usual right of withdrawal – it feels more like “buy and hope” than relaxed testing.
