Essence Balm - A unique combination of surprising ingredients
All the plants in Essence Balm have a unique function in the product. Each one has been carefully selected in accordance with the principles of Chinese medicine.
This creates a synergy that can adapt to the individual needs of your skin.
Shea butter 乳木果油
Organic & Fair Trade
Shea butter is slightly cooling energetically. It soothes sensitized or inflamed skin.
Shea is great for strengthening the skin's barrier. This is an important feature when we want to moisturize the skin. Aqueous moisture evaporates easily into the drier room air and the skin feels tight. Shea butter helps lock moisture into the skin and prevents it from evaporating. This is why Essence Balm, together with other moisture-binding plants, is great for dry skin.
Another important feature of shea butter is that it is not comedogenic, i.e. clogging the skin. On the contrary, Shea absorbs well into the skin and does not leave a sticky feeling. In addition, its composition resembles the skin's own sebum and reduces excessive greasiness.

✓ Easily sinks into the deeper layers of the skin

Apricot kernel oil 杏仁

Apricot kernel oil has an energetic effect on the Colon and Lungs. In the Eastern tradition, these internal organs have a significant effect on the face. The large intestine channel runs in the area of the face and is responsible for cleaning the body with its function - a function that really shows on the face if it doesn't work! The lungs, on the other hand, are generally reflected in the skin.

Licorice is an interesting plant in skin care. The root contains Glycyrrhizin, which has an anti-inflammatory effect similar to cortisone. In addition, it moisturizes and removes heat, so it is an excellent ingredient for dry skin rashes. The licochalcone contained in licorice root, on the other hand, helps regulate sebum secretion, so it is suitable for oily, impure and acne-prone skin.
The rich antioxidant content helps protect the skin from free oxygen radicals and prevents premature aging of the skin.
And we shouldn't forget licorice root's skin-lightening effect when it comes to hyperpigmentation due to sun damage or dermatitis.

Lavender 薰衣草

Lavender is one of the most important herbs for holistic facial care. This is due to its ability to affect both the skin and the mind. Lavender is able to calm and lift your mood at the same time. In Essence Balm, lavender's ability to adapt to everyone's needs is particularly central. As a night cream, the beautiful scent of lavender helps remove the stress caused by the day from the face and mind. Lavender is the sigh of relief you get when you apply Essence Balm to your face after a long day. In the morning, lavender again adapts to your needs, increasing the brightness of the mind, concentration and joy for the day that begins.

Reishi 霊芝
Organic, supercritical Co2 extract
Reishi has a lot of skincare properties. It helps the skin to maintain moisture balance, soothes, reduces flaking and
inflammations. One of the most important features is its ability to strengthen immunity and eases hypersensitivity reactions. Reishi is perfect for allergic and sensitized skin and gently strengthens the skin
defensive ability.
Reishi mushrooms also have a stimulating effect on circulation and support the renewal of skin cells. This enables damaged skin to heal from within while benefiting from reishi's high antioxidant content. The abundance of antioxidants in reishi makes it an excellent ally for anyone looking to maintain healthy, youthful skin. Free radicals are a primary cause of premature skin aging. The antioxidants in reishi combat this damage, resulting in a slowing of the aging process and an improvement in the skin's firmness and vitality.
