Natural skincare: Why are natural products better for the skin and the environment?
Eternal beauty, rosy glowing skin - the dream of all women and men, regardless of age, origin and personality! If you want to be beautiful, you have to suffer? Really? Does our skin have to suffer from artificial ingredients that do more harm than good? The comforting answer to this question is: No! Natural skin care is playing an increasingly important role for women and men, and for good reason.
More and more manufacturers are focusing on gentle skin care products, including the Feuerstein Essential range. Our aim is to offer you natural cosmetics, but not to do without sensible ingredients due to specifications and guidelines.
For decades, people have used cosmetics that were primarily developed from a scientific point of view. In laboratories, resourceful researchers worked out which ingredients had which effect on the skin. However, the long-term effect was often disregarded. But even if natural skin care is playing an increasingly important role, not all scientific aspects are bad.
That's why Feuerstein Essentials is committed to providing you with natural skincare that uses the best ingredients from all areas. In our opinion, combining science and naturalness is the best way to keep your skin radiant and beautiful well into old age.
Natural skin care creates confidence
Many people want to get away from the chemical mishmash and move towards a green future. This is a blessing for our skin, as it is exposed to countless stresses every day. When was the last time you thought about what the approximately two square meters of skin on your body has to endure? Let's take your facial skin as a good example.
Many women expose the sensitive skin on their face to make-up, sunlight, cosmetic products, fragrances and much more on a daily basis. Statistically speaking, the facial skin is exposed to around 500 different chemicals every day. This does not include environmental conditions. Think of the freezing cold of winter, which stresses and dries out the skin. Or the scorching heat of summer, the blazing sun at midday. Your skin is a miracle of nature and it clearly deserves more attention.
Natural skincare starts in this area and aims to give the skin back what it really needs. It is not a question of rigorously avoiding certain ingredients and thereby subjecting the skin to poorer quality cosmetics. High-quality natural skin care focuses on optimizing the ingredients and protecting the environment at the same time. Sometimes, however, protecting the environment can also mean protecting natural resources and using alternatives from the laboratory. Some of our ingredients are 'natural' by definition, others are not. We prefer to incorporate high quality, scientifically validated, skin-friendly ingredients from a selection of reputable sources to fulfill specific functions.
There are numerous reasons in favor of natural ingredients and natural beauty
Many cosmetics lines are chasing trends. Trends that resonate with young people, that are used, that spread like wildfire. The latest lip liner, the latest skincare line, the advertising suggests the "must haves" of the season. With increasing maturity, many women (and men too) are beginning to rethink. Ingredients and manufacturing conditions of products that were previously used thoughtlessly are questioned.
What follows is often a radical cut and all synthetic ingredients are rigorously banned. Regardless of their effectiveness, only natural cosmetics that contain no artificial ingredients are used in this phase of change. The care effect? Surprisingly, it is often minimal and the changeover is not worthwhile. But why is that?
In order to use natural skin care sensibly, it is important that you recognize and understand the needs of your skin. This starts with identifying your skin type, as your skin has very different requirements depending on its type. At best, natural skincare does not dispense with scientifically validated and skin-friendly ingredients, but combines the ingredients that are optimal for your skin and relies increasingly on the power of nature.
The high-quality natural skincare from Feuerstein Essentials is based on various natural products. Sweet almond oil, broccoli seed oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera, carrot root extract and calendula are frequently and popularly used. Soothing lemon balm, cleansing peppermint extracts and women's mantle, which stimulates circulation, also have a high care effect.
However, it should be emphasized once again that the right natural skin care should always be selected according to the skin type. Many ingredients are suitable for all skin types, but special substances, such as soothing lemon balm, are ideal for irritated and sensitive skin, for example. Before each use, you should check whether your skin can tolerate the natural skin care product or whether it reacts sensitively. The high-quality and carefully selected ingredients ensure a high level of tolerance and you can see the positive effects after a short time.
When switching to natural skin care, don't forget that this is only one component of healthy skin. Your lifestyle also plays a major role. Whether it's alcohol, heavy sunbathing, nicotine consumption or unhealthy eating - all these vices have a negative impact on the appearance of your skin. If you adapt your entire lifestyle to the decision for natural skin care, your skin will turn into a radiant mirror of your soul.
The different skin types
Normal skin: It is fresh, rosy, fine-pored, less sensitive and only minimally oily in the T-zone.

Shop carefully and naturally with a clear conscience
If you have opted for natural skin care and would like to buy natural products, we recommend that you obtain comprehensive information. By choosing a product, you are making a decision for yourself and for your skin. The following criteria can help you to make the right choice right from the start.
- We combine the best of human ingenuity with the natural world to create our exceptional products. But we avoid harmful ingredients that can damage your skin and cause it to deteriorate over the years. These include mineral oils, microplastics, phthalates and parabens. All of these ingredients are state of the art in numerous cosmetic lines, whereas natural skincare does without them.
- Place value on the regional origin of your natural skin care. In the production of Feuerstein Essentials Swiss cosmetics, we focus on the local origin of the ingredients. Whenever possible, we buy our ingredients "around the corner" and avoid long transportation routes and products of unclear origin for the sake of the environment and quality. This allows us to keep additives and preservatives to a minimum.
- Nourish your skin with the natural active ingredients it needs to maintain itself. Well-nourished skin can defy many adversities. Whether sun or wind, dryness or make-up: Your skin fights against the circumstances of the day and natural skincare helps you to support your skin. Imagine a thirsty horse in the desert. If you have given it enough to drink, it will survive the hike in the heat better and without damage. The brave horse is your skin, which uses valuable natural ingredients to arm itself against hardship.
