Product-Specific Questions (All 10 Products)
1. Cleansing Foam 150 ml – What makes Cleansing Foam gentle for sensitive skin?
Our Cleansing Foam features a minimalist formula with zero fragrance allergens listed on the label. It contains organic rose water, chamomile, and calendula to soothe the skin, while the luxurious foam effectively removes makeup and impurities without disrupting the skin's natural moisture barrier.
2. Gentle Cleansing Milk – Who should choose Gentle Cleansing Milk instead of the foam?
Gentle Cleansing Milk is specially developed for normal, dry, and mature skin, as well as skin that easily feels tight and dehydrated after cleansing. Enriched with organic shea butter, argan oil, avocado oil, and jojoba oil, it deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin during the cleansing step.
3. Micellar Cleansing Water – Do I need to rinse off Micellar Cleansing Water after use?
No, rinsing is not necessary! Our Micellar Cleansing Water is enriched with organic aloe vera, chamomile, linden flower, and hyaluronic acid. Let the skin absorb these nourishing and moisturizing ingredients after gently wiping your face clean with a cotton pad. It is perfect for quick cleansing, travel, or post-workout.
4. Hydrating Serum – How does Hydrating Serum provide a multi-level moisture boost?
This silky hydrating serum contains hyaluronic acid with dual molecular weights to bind moisture across multiple layers of the skin simultaneously. It delivers an immediate plumping effect on the surface and long-lasting hydration deep within, enhanced by antioxidant-rich cloudberry extract and soothing bisabolol.
5. Vitamin C Serum – What type of Vitamin C is used, and can it irritate sensitive skin?
Our Vitamin C Serum uses a 2% naturally stabilized form of Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) combined with 1% ferulic acid. This stable technology delivers maximum efficacy against hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, while remaining gentle enough to prevent irritation on sensitive skin.
6. Natural Retinol-Alternative Oil Serum – Can I use Natural Retinol-Alternative Oil Serum during pregnancy?
Yes, absolutely! This multi-action oil serum is based on Bakuchiol, a 100% natural and plant-based alternative to retinol. Natural Retinol-Alternative Oil Serum stimulates collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines without the irritation or risks associated with traditional retinol, making it completely safe for both pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
7. Targeted Dark Spot Care 15ml – How does Targeted Dark Spot Care work against hyperpigmentation?
Targeted Dark Spot Care 15ml is an intensive spot treatment with 1% kojic acid, which is clinically proven to inhibit the production of melanin (the pigment that causes dark spots). It gradually fades sun damage, age spots, and acne scars. Apply morning and night directly to the spots – and remember to use sunscreen (SPF) during the day!
8. Moisturising Day Cream 50ml – Is Moisturising Day Cream suitable for a cold climate?
Yes, Moisturising Day Cream is specially created for our Nordic skin and climate. Formulated on a base of organic aloe vera, natural moisture-binding betaine, hyaluronic acid, and northern rowanberry and blackberry extracts, it protects the skin against environmental stressors and dry air throughout the day.
9. Anti-Age Day Cream 50ml – What distinguishes Anti-Age Day Cream from the regular day cream?
While our regular day cream focuses on pure hydration, the Anti-Age Day Cream is specifically formulated for mature skin. It contains an innovative marine ingredient (Alteromonas Ferment Extract) along with organic shea butter and avocado oil, which work together to firm the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce the visibility of fine lines.
10. Peptide Anti-Aging Serum 30ml – What are the main benefits of the peptides in this serum?
Our premium Peptide Anti-Aging Serum 30ml contains Hexapeptide-11 and Hydroxyproline, which signal skin cells to produce more collagen. This strengthens the skin barrier, boosts elasticity, and leaves the skin feeling plumper and firmer, while antioxidant-rich blueberry and strawberry seed oils protect against signs of aging.
11. Mineral Sun Stick SPF 50 12g – Does the Mineral Sun Stick leave a white cast, and is it safe for the ocean?
Our Mineral Sun Stick SPF 50 uses 100% mineral UV filters (Zinc Oxide) completely free from chemical filters, and it blends to become fully transparent on the skin (No tint). The formula is also reef-safe, meaning it is biodegradable and formulated with respect for marine ecosystems and coral reefs. It is perfect for the face, ears, and lips during sports and beach days.

Why do you recommend a patch test?
