Active ingredients:

Field horsetail.

Also called horsetail. Is widely distributed on farmland as a wild herb. It contains 8 to 14 % silicic acid. Horsetail stimulates the metabolism of the skin and increases its elasticity. The extract is used to revitalize and tighten tired skin.

Birch.

(Betula alba). The extract from the leaves of this typical tree of northern Europe has blood circulation stimulating and nourishing properties.

Nettle.

The stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of the well-tried medicinal plants, is very versatile and tastes good as a tea or in herbal cooking. Almost everyone knows the plant, whose leaves have conspicuous nettle hairs, which can leave unpleasant itchy wheals on contact with the skin. The extract from the leaves has exactly the opposite effect: it soothes the skin after a sunburn, minor burns or insect bites and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Nettle leaves contain, for example, flavonoids, caffeic acid esters, minerals such as potassium, calcium, silicic acid, vitamin C and iron. Formic acid, histamine, acetylcholine and serotonin are found in the stinging hairs. Rubs with nettles stimulate blood circulation and in this way can relax tense muscles.

Kaolin.

is natural purified clay (bolus alba/porcelain clay) used as a skin-friendly, mild absorbent and sebum regulator, e.g. in masks.

Linden Blossom.

In addition to saponins, mucilage, tannins and sugar, lime blossom also contains growth hormones and hesperidin, which have earned lime blossom (Tilia cordata) the nickname "beauty herb". Hesperidin is a single component of the vitamin P complex. The extract from the dried flowers has skin-protecting and skin-strengthening effects.

Rosemary.

(Rosmarinus officinalis) is an evergreen shrub common throughout the Mediterranean region. The leaves are harvested before flowering. They contain 1 to 2% essential oil and about 8% tannins. In herbal cosmetics, it is used for large-pored, inflamed skin because of its antiseptic and circulation-enhancing effect.

Sage.

This evergreen, perennial spice and medicinal plant originates from the Mediterranean region, but is now widespread throughout Europe. Active ingredients contained in the apothecary sage (Salvia officinalis) are the essential oils thujone and 1,8-cineole, salviol, camphor, salves, saponin, rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid, tannins as well as bitter substances. Sage extract has astringent and antiperspirant effects, among others.

Yarrow.

(Achillea millefolium) The flowering herb is used. The extract has anti-inflammatory, astringent and circulation-enhancing properties.

Shea butter.

from the nuts of the West African shea butter tree (Butyrospermum parkii) contains vitamins A and E. Shea butter has excellent protective properties and prevents the skin from drying out. It is excellent for skin with increased care requirements.

Application: Lather with damp hands. Then rinse thoroughly.

Note: Allow soap to dry well after use to avoid cracking.
