APPLICATION TIPS
The Adaptogen Body Oil Serum is perfect for effective aftercare following your dry brushing ritual and supports the stimulating and skin-tightening effect of dry brushing.
FAQ
When is the best time to use the Adaptogen Body Oil Serum?
We love to start the day with the Body Oil Serum because its beautiful blend of ingredients and delicate aromas of bergamot and cardamom has an invigorating and stimulating effect. However, you can also use the Body Oil Serum as part of your evening routine to help support nourished, hydrated skin.
What step of my beauty routine do I use the Body Oil Serum?
Use the Body Oil Serum after your dry brushing ritual. Removing dead skin cells allows the Oil Serum to be better absorbed and work its magic.
Is the Body Oil Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the Body Oil Serum is suitable for sensitive skin: it is mildly formulated and contains no alcohol, preservatives or synthetic ingredients. The percentage of essential oils is very low and, therefore, well tolerated.
OUR TIP: Before incorporating it into your routine, we always recommend testing a new skincare product on a small area of skin (such as the inner wrist). This way, you can quickly rule out an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients.
Why do you use a transparent bottle for the Adaptogen Body Oil Serum?
The active ingredients are stable to light and oxidation, so we can use a transparent glass bottle without compromising the formula.
How does the price of the Adaptogen Body Oil Serum come about?
1. We use state-of-the-art active ingredients in successful concentrations
We use innovative natural cosmetic ingredients with clinically proven efficacy in optimal concentrations for the skin. These novel active ingredients are costly and are often only used in minimal quantities, if at all. We always use the comparatively high concentration of active ingredients recommended by current studies – even if this increases the manufacturing costs of our products.
2. We use ingredients of the highest quality and are water-free
We use only effective, natural ingredients of the highest quality in our Body Oil Serum. Our high-grade natural ingredients are organic or wild-collected whenever possible.
We use gently cold-pressed, certified organic active oils such as argan, rosehip or sesame and avoid cheap filler oils such as caprylic/capric triglycerides or sunflower oil*. The oil phase is rounded off with high-quality, bio-based squalane obtained from sustainably grown sugar cane.
Instead of water, we use organic, straight from the source aloe vera juice. (There are only tiny amounts of water in our serum, as most plant extracts are dissolved in water).
3. We develop it ourselves
Our Adaptogen Body Serum is an innovative in-house development on which we have worked closely with our experienced natural cosmetics laboratory for many months. Such in-house development is a lengthy and costly process, which is why many brands resort to cheaper, faster-to-produce pre-made standard formulas. For us, however, this is out of the question because our innovative formulation ideas can only be realised within the framework of in-house development.
*Our Body Oil Serum contains only a tiny amount of sunflower oil, as vitamin E is dissolved in it.

FOUNDER'S NOTE: ABOUT THE FORMULATION
I love body oils, but the greasy film left behind on my skin bothers me. That's why I formulated a body oil that absorbs without leaving any residue and ticks all the boxes: The Adaptogen Body Oil Serum is intensely nourishing, firming, detoxifying and invigorating – with scientifically proven and completely natural ingredients of the highest quality. The highlight: Thanks to its innovative 2-phase formulation, the Body Oil Serum is absorbed in an instant, never leaving an annoying oil film on the skin. How does it work? If you shake it, the oils and aloe vera juice combine to form a natural emulsion—without any synthetic binders!
High-quality, cold-pressed organic active oils for skin tightening, such as argan oil, sesame oil and rosehip oil (as well as squalane from organic sugar cane), form the base of this luxurious body oil. The so-called water phase is actually water-free—it consists exclusively of organic juice directly from the aloe vera plant.
At the same time, the Oil Serum contains some of the best scientifically proven ingredients that natural cosmetics have to offer for firming the skin—ingredients that are usually only used in high-quality active formulations for the face. Inside you’ll find an extract from the mat bean, a plant-based alternative to retinol, Gotu Kola extract, as well as a generous 2% brown seaweed extract.
Essential oils from cardamom and bergamot in low, well-tolerated concentrations stimulate blood circulation, renew your energy and ensure a positive mood.
The result? A highly effective, holistic slow-ageing body oil with the same high-impact formulation as a first-class face serum.
