In studies, the fruits of the saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) were able to stimulate hair growth in cases of androgen-related hair loss. An effect on estrogen receptors has been noted. Sawplaster fruit extract is rich in phytosterols and is used off-label in women.

The nettle root is traditionally used in gynecology. Studies have shown that it can help with acne and oily skin, normalize the menstrual cycle and have an impact on testosterone levels.

The leaves of rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) are used for the rosemary leaf extract. The liver-supporting, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of rosemary extract have been demonstrated both in animal experiments and in clinical studies. It supports the normal metabolism of steroid hormones by stimulating bile production. Rosemary extract can regulate estradiol metabolism.

The fruit of black pepper (Piper nigrum) is said to improve the bioavailability and absorption rate of various pharmacologically active substances and is therefore z.B. also often used as an accompanying ingredient in Ayurveda.

Zinc plays a major role in overall metabolism. Its function as a cofactor in countless metabolic pathways, in the immune system, in the formation of sex hormones and the healthy structure of skin, hair, nails, mucous membranes, etc. is particularly important. In general, zinc intake is considered critical. The need for zinc is further increased by taking the pill. Good plant sources of zinc include legumes, whole grains, corn, oat flakes, nuts and dark green leafy vegetables.

Pantothenic acid is involved in the production of sex hormones and steroid hormones such as cortisol. It therefore plays a role in hormonal balance and the body's stress response. A defect arises u.a. noticeable in fatigue and poor wound healing. Pantothenic acid is found in many foods such as legumes, whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables or nuts.

Vitamin B6 has a major influence on serotonin metabolism and thus on the risk of depression. It enables the conversion of tryptophan to niacin and is essential for healthy nerve cells, a functioning glucose metabolism and a healthy vascular system. His need is increased by taking the pill and is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis. A high consumption of animal-based, protein-rich foods additionally increases the need for vitamin B6. Good plant sources include potatoes, bananas, legumes, nutritional yeast, dark green leafy vegetables and nuts. Make sure to include raw vegetables in your diet, as vitamin B6 is very sensitive to heat.

Olus oil is a vegetable oil that is used in cosmetics to prevent the skin from losing moisture. It forms a film on the skin and makes it supple and soft.

The glycerin in our formula improves moisture retention in the skin. It has a keratolytic effect, so it dissolves excess skin cells, supports the skin barrier, stabilizes the skin collagen and thus the elasticity of the skin and accelerates healing processes.

Niacinamide is a valuable ingredient in cosmetics. It has a calming, rebalancing and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. Niacinamide can reduce skin hyperpigmentation and regulates sebum production. It supports new skin formation and collagen synthesis, which can smooth out wrinkles.

Phosphatidylcholine can be used to treat grade 1 and 2 acne vulgaris. Clinical studies show a reduction in blackheads by over 60% after 28 days and a reduction in skin symptoms by over 70%. The linoleic acid content (inhibits 5-alpha-reductase) in the skin increases significantly. Long-chain skin lipids were added under pressure to hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine as a cream base. This makes its structure similar to that of healthy skin and can support the development of the skin barrier in damaged skin. The procedure is called ortholamellar technology (OLT). In manufacturer studies, OLT was able to change the lipid barrier structure of very dry skin to that of healthy skin within 14 days.

Carnauba wax (Copernicia cerifera cera) is part of ortholamellar technology. The long-chain lipids of canauba wax are attached to phosphatidylcholine. This gives the lipid layers additional stability and thus exactly imitates the stability of the lipid layers of the skin.

The oil of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is very similar in composition to skin lipid fatty acids. It moisturizes and ensures supple skin without appearing occlusive.

The composition of Moringa oleifera oil is very similar to skin lipid fatty acids and has a very good effect on skin healing. It moisturizes and ensures supple skin without appearing occlusive.

Salicylic acid has a keratolytic effect and dissolves excess skin flakes extremely gently without irritating. It has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. In studies, salicylic acid was able to reduce wrinkles and hyperpigmentation of the skin.

Stearyl glycyrrhetinate (esther of glycyrrhizic acid) is a highly effective, skin-soothing active ingredient from licorice root. Glycyrrhizic acid has anti-inflammatory effects.

Troxerutin is a natural, water-soluble flavonoid from the Japanese string tree. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and can protect cells from UV-B damage. The combination with fat-soluble, antioxidant tocopherol (vitamin E) leads to an optimal effect against environmental radicals.

Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is a curcumin derivative. Curcumin is a component of turmeric, known for its antioxidant potential. It counteracts environmental radicals and the resulting skin sensitivities.

Red clover extract (Trifolium pratense) can inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity in the skin and thereby reduce sebum production, one of the main triggers for impure skin. Red clover has an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effect, protects against UV damage and also has anti-aging effects through its regulatory effect on the skin's estrogen receptors.

Tocopherol (vitamin E) has an antioxidant effect, protects healthy cells from free radicals and supports the structure of the cell membranes.

The powder made from Chondrus crispus (Irish moss) serves as a thickener in the recipe. In addition, it has an abrasive effect, meaning it can remove dead skin particles and has a moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effect.

The glycerin in our formula improves moisture retention in the skin. It has a keratolytic effect, so it dissolves excess skin cells, supports the skin barrier, stabilizes the skin collagen and thus the elasticity of the skin and accelerates healing processes.

Aloe vera is a succulent plant that lives in dry environments. The water storage gel contained in the leaves is used in pharmacology and cosmetics due to its ingredients. Aloe has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial effects and supports wound healing. Aloe has a skin-caring and skin-soothing effect and prevents the skin from drying out through cleansing.

We have used medium-chain hyaluronic acid to counteract the drying out of the skin caused by cleansing. Hyaluronic acid has a moisturizing, calming and nourishing effect.
