We intentionally don’t work with large e-commerce logistics centers. Instead, all orders are processed locally in collaboration with a workplace for people with disabilities at Stiftung Mensch. Because of this, our shipping may not arrive the next day, as you might be used to from large corporations.
Within Germany, parcels are usually delivered within 2–3 working days. Shipments to other countries may take up to 7 days, depending on the destination.
In all cases, you will receive a tracking code to follow the status of your order.
We combine pure apricot oil with wild-grown sea fennel.
The two potent natural substances supply mature skin with essential lipids, promote skin regeneration and give a natural glow — without perfume, without emulsifiers, without unnecessary additives.
Apricot kernel oil is a particularly light, skin-like plant oil that intensely nourishes mature skin without weighing it down. It is rich in oleic and linoleic acids, which strengthen the skin's natural barrier and retain moisture, as well as in vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects against free radicals. As a result, the skin appears more supple, elastic, and smooth. Fine lines appear softened, feelings of tightness subside, and the complexion visibly becomes calmer and more radiant.
Sea fennel oil works naturally in a retinoid-like way, supporting cell renewal, refining skin texture, and improving elasticity – but much more gently and without the typical irritation of classic retinoids. At the same time, its antioxidant plant compounds protect against oxidative stress and restore radiance to tired, dull skin. Our rock samphire oil is sustainably wild-harvested in Greece, thus preserving the original power of this Mediterranean plant for smooth, vibrant, and visibly balanced skin.
✅ Pure emulsion – however, results may vary depending on the tap water.
✅ ✅ Pure emulsion including soothing pH balance and balancing moisture
✅ ✅ ✅ Pure cleansing + emulsion – a natural triad where all elements work together for maximum skin soothing.
Yes. In the morning, plain water is often sufficient, followed by toner and oil. In the evening, we recommend a complete cleansing including soap.
No. The balm, especially when used in combination with the toner, completely replaces the classic cream.
Yes. Balm 002 is formulated so gently that it's also suitable for the sensitive skin around the eyes. The eye area has very few sebaceous glands of its own and therefore loses moisture more quickly. Balm 002 helps keep the area supple – it's important that you never apply the oil dry, but always combine it with water.
A slight feeling of tightness at the beginning is usually not a sign of "insufficient care," but rather of an adjustment. Balm 002 should always be applied to slightly damp skin, ideally after toner 001 or with a little water. The moisture combines directly with the oil to form a light, natural emulsion – similar to a cream, but without additives. This way, the skin receives both of what it needs: water and lipids. If you experience very strong feelings of tightness, your tap water may contain too much lime. In that case, use our toner instead to ensure a soothing water content.
Because we don't use silicones, waxes, or synthetic films. You feel your real skin – not a coating. The facial oil, however, creates a beautiful, natural glow and a slightly firmer, plumped complexion.
For best results, we recommend using our 3-step routine as is. Using too many products at once can disrupt the skin's natural balance. If you look at the ingredient lists of conventional skincare products, you'll often find complex formulas with many ingredients that overwhelm the skin rather than support it – even in natural cosmetics.
Our philosophy is the opposite: as little as possible, as pure as necessary. Give your skin space to regulate itself with a few, clear raw materials.
Of course, you can still use make-up: The oil is a very good base for make-up, and in the evening the soap gently and thoroughly cleanses your skin.
Yes. Mature skin primarily needs lipids, rest, and protection – not aggressive cocktails of active ingredients. Our oils strengthen the skin barrier and support natural regeneration.
Yes, generally speaking. A few natural ingredients reduce irritation and give the skin time to stabilize itself. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin, we recommend testing our products first on the inside of your elbow and then on a small area of your face.
For makeup, we recommend first cleansing with a damp cotton pad onto which you apply 3-4 drops of the oil. Then follow with soap, toner, and, if desired, a second application of facial oil as usual.
The fragrance comes exclusively from the natural raw materials and essential oils themselves – that's why it's gentle, authentic, and never overpowering. Our scents accompany you during application and then quickly dissipate. They are skincare with active ingredients, not perfume. Because we work with natural plant oils and harvests, fragrance nuances may vary slightly. Each batch is unique.
