Black Forest cosmetics

We pick the delicate green spruce shoots in the immediate vicinity with the authorisation of the forestry office. We produce a concentrate from this special scent, as the shoots are only available in June and we produce fresh cosmetics in small batches throughout the year in our factory. This is tested for ingredients by Fresenius. At Kokoderma, all skin compatibility tests are carried out by a dermatological institute without animal testing and are recorded in accordance with European guidelines. The active ingredients are: essential oils, vitamin C, pro vitamin A, bornyl acetate, pinene, limonene, linalool and cymol. This combination of active ingredients has an anti-inflammatory, circulation-promoting and astringent effect.

The Black Forest elderflowers are harvested from the wild bushes in May and June, depending on the weather.  The essences are then produced in the Kokoderma laboratory. They are tested by Fresenius for ingredients and safety. The active ingredients in elderflower are Flavonoids, rutin, isoquercitrene, hyperoside, essential oil and various acids. Well-known healers of the past used an extract of elderflower as a remedy for skin problems. Cultural history tells us that the elder tree is a sacred tree and was revered in many cultures. Its aphrodisiac effect is due to its beguiling scent.

What could be more pleasantly refreshing than lemon balm and lavender in cosmetics? BalanceSana® alkaline cosmetics in the pH range of 8.0 nourish the skin particularly intensively.

Lavender gives the creams a wonderfully relaxing fragrance and also has a calming effect on the skin.
