Select the skin problem that applies to you and open the tile. There you will find a brief explanation of the symptoms, tips for supportive daily care, and information on how our 21-mineral complex can effectively support your skincare routine.

neurodermatitis

as it appears

  • very dry, rough skin
  • severe itching, especially at night
  • reddened, inflamed areas, often in creases (arm creases, backs of knees)
  • sensitive, easily torn skin

how care can support

  • Mild, fragrance-free cleansing to avoid further irritating the already weakened skin barrier.
  • Rich, replenishing care that binds moisture and reduces transepidermal water loss
  • Consistent, daily care can help alleviate feelings of tension and make flare-ups more bearable in everyday life – always in addition to a doctor-prescribed therapy.

Our minerals in focus

  • Minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium are valued in the complementary care of dry, barrier-impaired skin because, as part of a skincare routine, they can help support the skin's natural protective function.
  • In combination with moisturizers (e.g., glycerin) and lipids, mineral-rich formulations can help neurodermatitis-prone skin feel less dry, tight, and irritated in everyday life.

01

psoriasis

as it appears

  • Clearly defined, reddened areas of skin with silvery-white scales
  • Dry, thickened skin (plaques), often on elbows, knees, scalp
  • itching, burning or a feeling of tightness
  • Nail changes (pitting, discoloration) can occur.

how care can support

  • Gentle, non-irritating cleansing that does not further dry out flaky skin.
  • Replenishing, barrier-supporting care that makes the skin more supple and reduces feelings of tightness.
  • Regular skincare can help make the skin surface appear smoother and improve the subjective feeling of the skin – in addition to medical treatment.

Our minerals in focus

  • In the accompanying care of psoriasis, minerals from salt and thermal springs – especially magnesium, bromide, calcium, potassium and sodium – are frequently used; as part of a care routine, they can help to make the skin appear more supple and to soothe the skin's sensation.
  • Mineral-rich formulations are often combined with occlusive and moisturizing ingredients to make dry, flaky skin appear softer.

02

acne / prone to impure skin

as it appears

  • blackheads (comedones), inflamed pimples, papules, pustules
  • Often oily T-zone, shiny skin surface
  • simultaneously sensitive, easily irritated skin due to aggressive cleansers or treatments
  • Possible scarring in more severe cases

how care can support

  • A mild, alcohol-free cleanser that removes excess sebum without completely drying out the skin.
  • Light, non-comedogenic care that keeps the skin barrier stable and does not "seal" the skin occlusively.
  • A calm, low-irritant routine can help reduce redness and tightness, and make the skin appear more balanced – in addition to any acne medication prescribed by a doctor.

Our minerals in focus

  • For acne-prone skin, minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and calcium are valued because, as part of a tailored skincare routine, they can help soothe irritated skin and harmonize its feel.
  • Combined with gentle moisturizers, mineral solutions can help support the balance of the skin barrier without over-oiling it.

03

Itching (pruritus, a symptom in many skin diseases)

as it appears

  • persistent or recurring itching, localized or all over the body
  • Scratch marks, redness, sometimes minor injuries from frequent scratching
  • Itching can occur with dry skin, neurodermatitis, psoriasis, allergies, or other conditions.

how care can support

  • Cool, mild sprays or lotions can make the skin feel more pleasant immediately.
  • Regular use of rich, fragrance-free care can help soothe dry, tight skin and reduce the urge to scratch.
  • Important: Always have the causes of itching checked by a doctor – cosmetic care can only have a complementary effect.

minerals in focus

  • Minerals such as magnesium, bromide, and bicarbonate are frequently used in the care of itchy skin, as they can help to alleviate the subjective burning and itching sensation as part of a routine.
  • In combination with moisture and lipids, mineral-rich sprays and creams can help keep the skin surface smoother and somewhat cushion mechanical irritation caused by scratching.

04

rosacea

as it appears

  • Persistent redness in the face, especially on the cheeks, nose, and forehead.
  • visible, dilated blood vessels (telangiectasia)
  • Burning, stinging or hot skin sensation
  • In some cases, nodules and pustules may appear, resembling acne.

how care can support

  • Extremely mild, alcohol-free and fragrance-free cleansing to avoid increasing skin reactivity.
  • Soothing, light care that supports the skin barrier and does not further exacerbate the feeling of heat (e.g., no strongly occlusive, extremely rich textures when experiencing a feeling of heat).
  • Consistently gentle skincare routines can help to make redness appear less pronounced and to soothe the skin – always in addition to rosacea treatment by a dermatologist.

Our minerals in focus

  • Minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium can help support the barrier function of sensitive, redness-prone skin as part of a gentle skincare routine.
  • Mineral-rich, low-irritant formulated products are frequently used to alleviate the subjective burning, stinging, and tightness sensations of sensitive, reddened skin.

05

seborrheic dermatitis (especially face & scalp)

as it appears

  • yellowish or whitish scales, often on the scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, and beard area
  • Reddened, slightly oily skin
  • Itching or burning may occur.
  • The course of the disease is often chronic, with phases of improvement and deterioration.

how care can support

  • Gentle cleansing that gently removes flakes without damaging the skin barrier.
  • light, non-occlusive care that does not additionally "over-oil" the skin
  • A gentle, regular skincare routine can help to visibly reduce flaking and soothe the skin – in addition to any prescribed medicated shampoos or creams.

Our minerals in focus

  • Minerals such as magnesium and zinc are often used in the complementary care of oily, flaky skin because, as part of a skincare routine, they can help to make the complexion appear more harmonious.
  • Together with suitable cleansers and moisturizers, mineral-based formulations can help soothe irritations and support the skin barrier.

06

dry skin / xerosis (a skin condition in itself, often a contributing factor)

as it appears

  • rough, flaky, matte skin surface
  • A feeling of tension, especially after showering
  • fine cracks, possibly slight itching
  • is often exacerbated by cold climates, heated air, overly aggressive cleaning, or age-related changes.

how care can support

  • Gentle, lipid-friendly cleansing that respects the skin's natural protective film.
  • Moisturizing and replenishing care with smoothing and barrier-supporting ingredients
  • Regular use can help make the skin appear softer, more supple and visibly smoother.

Our minerals in focus
