Choosing raw materials with care
We source all our raw materials with great care. For both shea butter and Swiss herbs, we go back to the source - to where the plants grow naturally.
Although they come from very different parts of the world, both ingredients are based on an ancient tradition. Both are of great value to our skin. Learn their stories and find out how they work purely and naturally!
Cold pressed & unrefined - for a good reason
We use cold-pressed vegetable oils and unrefined vegetable butters for our products wherever possible, because they are pure power for our skin. Gentle manufacturing processes preserve vitamins and other valuable ingredients. Oil and butter are actually quite different in texture. Oils spread well on the skin and are absorbed quickly. Butter, on the other hand, is rather heavy, sometimes viscous and usually absorbs more slowly. However, if you combine them skilfully, the result is truly magical textures!
Shea butter from Ghana
Unrefined shea butter is pure plant power for natural skin care. It provides suppleness, nourishment and gives the skin a beautiful glow. No wonder it is a very popular ingredient in many of our everyday products - from lip care, to body butter, to lotions and, what many don't know, in food.
Unlike industrially produced shea butter, the production of our shea butter takes place in the country of origin and even in the communities. Our local partner ensures that the added value is maximized at community level. The women are supported in their work by pre-financing them or investing in their production facilities to improve working conditions and make their work easier.
Swiss herbs
It is not said for nothing that there is a herb for everything. When used correctly, plants can do us good in our souls, but also on our skin. Switzerland's herbal world is home to a wide variety of plants and herbs thanks to its different altitudes. These herbs have proven their worth in a variety of ways for centuries, and the valuable knowledge of herbs has been passed down from generation to generation in monasteries, drugstores and farmers' wives. The herbs in our products come from herb-growing cooperatives in various regions of Switzerland. Depending on the year and harvest, the origin of the herbs may vary from one altitude and region to another.
"For us, "natural", "organic" and "vegan" are just the beginning. We want even more and therefore place particular emphasis on a clear origin and gentle production of raw materials, the recycling of high-quality waste products and the elimination of water in our recipes."
