We use dried herbs in our products because the difference in active ingredient content between dried and fresh herbs is minimal. The effectiveness largely depends on the biochemical properties of each specific herb. Many herbs actually yield a superior extract after being dried. Our drying process utilizes low-impact technology, which removes unnecessary plant mass, primarily water, while preserving the herb's potency. This method not only ensures high-quality extracts but also reduces weight, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint.

Herbs contain hundreds or even thousands of biologically active substances, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and significant phytochemicals. These compounds provide various pharmacological effects on the body and cells, such as antimicrobial, anti-allergic, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, analgesic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, stimulant, sedative, anti-aging, antioxidant, and many more.

The cold-press process involves extracting oils and essences from plants without using heat, thereby preserving the natural nutrients, vitamins, and enzymes. This method ensures that the beneficial properties of the herbs are maintained, providing maximum efficacy in our personal care products.

Natural substances are influenced by their environment, leading to minor variations between product batches. However, the main active ingredients that provide the benefits stay the same.
