Night cream

Soothes and strengthens sensitive skin with azulene and licorice root.

Exquisite Night Cream Bleue strengthens the power of resistance and regeneration of sensitive skin at night. Contains rose extract, chamomile oil and pure azulene. Its anti-inflammatory and reparative action is supported by an active ingredient of licorice root. Shea butter nourishes and protects demanding skin. Phytosqualan, extracted from olive oil, accelerates the transport of active ingredients.

Active ingredients:

• Azulene: Is the blue active ingredient from chamomile essential oil and guaiac wood oil with soothing, anti-allergic and regenerative effects.
• Glycerin: Is a component of the skin's own Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and has an effective hydrating effect. It has an excellent moisturizing effect and at the same time stabilizes the skin's barrier function. We use glycerin, which is produced on a plant basis.
• Chamomile oil: From the true chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) - collected are the flower heads - has about 1% essential oil, which contains the blue active ingredient cham-azulene. Chamomile has anti-inflammatory, soothing and anti-irritant effects.
• Damascene Rose (Rosa Damascena): This bright pink flowering rose with its double flowers is mainly cultivated in Bulgaria. The essence from the fresh flower buds has skin-soothing and moisturizing properties. In aromatherapy, Damask rose is particularly highly valued for its harmonizing effect.
• Phytosqualan: Is a colorless, odorless oily liquid extracted from olive oil. Squalane in its unsaturated form (squalene) is an essential component of the skin's own hydro-lipid film and is therefore particularly skin-friendly. We use the saturated form, which prevents the oxidation of skin's own fats (by free radicals). Squalane has moisturizing properties, spreads well, i.e. it is very easy to spread, and makes the skin feel silky. Because of its good absorption properties, squalane serves as a glide path into the skin for the other active ingredients.
• Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Is cultivated mainly on the Volga and in southern Europe. The roots and runners of the three- to four-year-old shrub are used. Licorice root contains two to 15 percent of so-called triterpene saponins. The main triterpene is glycyrrhizin, which has a very sweet taste and is a mixture of salts of glycyrrhizic acid. When the sugar component of glycyrrhizinic acid is split off, glycyrrhetinic acid is formed. This ingredient has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Flavonoids and coumarins are also present. In total, researchers have discovered about 400 different ingredients. In cosmetic terms, licorice is mainly used in the care of inflamed and irritated skin, as it has been proven to soothe skin irritations, reduce itching and promote wound healing.
• Shea butter: From the nuts of the West African shea butter tree 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.
• Beeswax (Cera Alba): is a natural wax produced by honeybees. It is almost insoluble in water and thus protects especially sensitive skin from moisture loss. Beeswax was already known in ancient times almost 2000 years ago in skin care and its softening effect was appreciated.
• Olive wax: Is produced by a special process from olive oil as a water-affine vegetable butter. This vegetable butter moisturizes and strengthens the barrier function of the skin.
• Malachite extract: Is a lagoon blue solution. It contains the trace element copper, which strengthens the skin's natural defenses.

Application: Apply gently to the face in the evening after cleansing.
