The Retinal Eye Cream

The Retinal Eye Cream is a firming slow-aging eye cream with a delicately melting, rich texture and an organic content of 71% – ideal for the most demanding skin. It combines state-of-the-art active ingredient technology with selected natural ingredients to visibly smooth, protect and regenerate the delicate eye area.

The hero ingredient of the formulation is 0.02% nature-identical encapsulated retinal – a highly effective form of Vitamin A that is three times more effective and eleven times faster acting than classic retinol, yet significantly gentler on the skin. Thanks to the innovative nature-identical encapsulation technology, the active ingredient is stabilized and released in a controlled manner – ideal for the sensitive eye area. The skin compatibility of the Retinal Eye Cream has been tested on sensitive skin and rated "very good".

In addition, organic saffron alleviates dark circles and, together with organic pomegranate seed oil, reliably protects against oxidative stress. Organic aloe vera juice provides intensive moisture and soothes, while ceramides and bio-based squalane strengthen the delicate skin around the eyes, improve moisture balance and ensure noticeable suppleness.

The result: a visibly smoothed, strengthened and optimally nourished eye area for a rested, fresh look.

RETINAL (ENCAPSULATED)

0.02% nature-identical encapsulated retinal (a particularly effective form of vitamin A) stimulates collagen synthesis and has been proven to reduce wrinkles and lines. According to studies, retinal is 3 times more effective, 11 times faster, and much gentler on the skin than retinol. An innovative nature-identical encapsulation technology increases stability and enables a controlled and slow release of the active ingredient. The concentration of 0.02% retinal is mild enough for the delicate eye area, yet offers high efficacy. The encapsulated retinal we use is laboratory tested.

SAFFRON (ORGANIC)

Precious saffron is considered one of the world's most valuable plant extracts. It protects the skin from oxidative stress. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, effectively lightens pigment spots, and can prevent collagen breakdown.

CERAMIDES

Ceramides are skin's own lipids, i.e., fats, which also occur naturally in the skin, protect it from moisture loss, and strengthen the skin barrier.

SQUALANE (BIO-BASED)

Squalane from sustainably grown organic sugarcane intensely nourishes the skin,
improves its moisture balance, and gives it
incredible smoothness. Clinical studies have confirmed that the squalane we use promotes a healthy microbiome and a strong skin barrier.

POMEGRANATE SEED OIL (ORGANIC) 

Precious, cold-pressed organic pomegranate oil stimulates cell renewal, has a balancing effect, and a particularly strong antioxidant effect. It is particularly rich in punicic acid, a rare, unsaturated fatty acid that has exceptionally high antioxidant properties.

ALOE VERA JUICE (ORGANIC) 

Organic aloe vera juice intensely moisturizes the skin, soothes, and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
