What to avoid in personal care products?

Without dogma: many people avoid parabens, synthetic fragrances ('parfum' on the label says little about the composition), silicones that can build up in the hair, microplastics and a lot of alcohol for dry skin. Read the ingredient list (INCI): the further down an ingredient appears, the lower its concentration.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly are 'natural' personal care products?

There is no legal definition. In practice: products with mainly plant or animal ingredients of known origin, without synthetic preservatives, fragrances or colourings.

Is tallow good for the skin?

Tallow has a fatty acid profile similar to that of the skin's own sebum and is a popular natural alternative to synthetic moisturisers. Many people use it on dry or sensitive skin; if your skin is prone to blemishes, test on a small area first.

What is magnesium oil spray?

A solution of magnesium chloride (for example KiKi Health Magnesium Oil Spray with Zechstein Inside®) applied to the skin, for example after exercise or as part of an evening ritual. Whether magnesium is absorbed through the skin in meaningful amounts is still scientifically uncertain; the authorised magnesium claims apply to oral intake.

Does natural care really work?

Many active ingredients in 'clinical' cosmetics — such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid — are also naturally derived or nature-identical. The difference often lies in the vehicle, concentration and marketing. What matters most remains consistency and a product that suits your skin type.

Are these products cruelty-free?

In the EU, animal testing for cosmetics is banned (Regulation (EC) 1223/2009). Our selected brands comply with this.
