Transparency with the ingredients we use is very important to us. We think everyone should be able to choose whether or not to let certain ingredients into their body, but it often fails because there are long "ingredients" lists on the packaging that even chemists who have studied have trouble deciphering.
Wherever there is space on the products, we print the German names directly on the packaging in addition to the legally required INCI (this is what the technical jargon for the ingredients is called). Only with a few test jars or is there not enough space on the packaging and we don't want to create extra waste for package inserts or boxes. For all products, however, you can always find the German names online on the product pages under the Ingredients tab.
As the first product, we would like to introduce you to the ingredients of the body scrub in more detail today. In addition to the German names, we also give you a brief insight into why the ingredients are even contained in the body scrub and what advantages they bring to the skin.

And what about the varieties?
Some of you have probably already noticed: the ingredients mentioned are the basic ingredients of our body scrubs. These are supplemented by other ingredients of the different varieties. For example, we only use natural essential oils or natural aromas for scenting, and our fruit body scrubs always contain real fruit. For example, our cherry body scrub is made with real cherries, giving it its red color.
