made in Austria
The sustainable natural cosmetics label from Austria is part of the St. Georg pampering program.
We really appreciate moments of quiet and the burgeoning sense of relaxation. We believe that sensual care products can make a big difference in moments like this, which is why we decided to work with the local Mindful - cosmetics decided.
ACHTSAM dispenses with exotic ingredients - with long transport routes.
And instead, has set itself the goal of refining the best raw materials from Austrian producers into high-quality, natural - and above all effective - cosmetic products. Try it. It will do you good!
Only high quality ingredients result in high-quality products.
ACHTSAM
selected oils
Effective natural cosmetics do not need any exotic raw materials: African shea butter or Mexican jojoba oil stay out here, as do coconut oil or cocoa butter from South America. Not only because we are ATTENTION and want to avoid long transport routes, but because we - as with our food - want to know exactly what is in our natural cosmetics and where they come from.
There is a lot in “green gold”: In addition to plenty of vitamins and lecithin, it is the only oil that contains significant amounts of the antioxidant procyanidin (OPC). The cell-protecting effect of OPC, obtained from the seeds of grapes, is 18 times stronger than vitamin C. Incidentally, grape seed oil cares for and smoothes rough skin, eliminates small cracks and can even support the healing of minor injuries. A true fountain of youth is in every single drop.
If that isn't the absolute "Woohoo" oil for skin over 30! We love the seeds of this ancient plant not only as poppy seed tents or to sprinkle on yeast dumplings: In modern natural cosmetics they are the shooting star in action against wrinkles and sagging skin. One of the most effective anti-aging ingredients of all is responsible for this: linoleic acid. The unsaturated fatty acid from the omega-6 fatty acid family is very nourishing and provides comprehensive protection against free radicals, wrinkles and skin aging. Poppy seed oil has an extremely high linoleic acid content of more than 70 percent! For comparison: olive oil “only” has a share of 3 to 20 percent. Fact!
Hemp oil is easily and quickly absorbed by the skin and is perfect for keeping the skin moisturized without leaving greasy residues. In addition, the high proportion of valuable α-linolenic acid gives the hemp oil a strong regenerating and cell-renewing property, which makes it ideal for use with dry, itchy and mature skin. Due to the anti-inflammatory effect of the gamma-linolenic acid it contains, hemp oil has even proven itself in skin diseases such as neurodermatitis or psoriasis. Then itches nothing more!
Camelina oil is particularly valuable due to its high vitamin E content. Vitamin E is a real bulwark that not only wards off infections and viruses but also vigorously combats cell-damaging free radicals. But we are not the first to have checked this: the mildly scented oil pressed from camelina seeds was recognized as an effective household remedy very early on and, thanks to its healing effect, was used for external injuries, wounds or bruises
More solar energy in a plant is probably not possible! Gently cold-pressed sunflower oil, like the one we use ACHTSAM, has a similarly high content of vital substances as raw sunflower seeds. Sunflower oil is very light and mild and is easily absorbed by the skin. We also like it for its lecithin content and mild disinfecting power.
Rapeseed oil brings along a whole range of classic beauty nutrients: Rapeseed oil is rich in healthy, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins E and K and provitamin A. It protects the skin from damage, has a positive effect on blood circulation and promotes blood circulation. The lecithin it contains has a moisturizing effect and supports the skin's moisture balance! A true all-rounder!
If you are looking for fragrant lavender fields and wonderful lavender products, you don't need to make a pilgrimage to Provence! Because holiday feelings definitely come up at Lavenderhof Wunsum in Kitzeck in southern Styria. Here, with a lot of manual work, only the lavender blossoms are distilled into the purest essential lavender oil and lavender water. This effort pays off: because only the flowers make the essential lavender oil particularly sweet and fine. But since lavender not only smells wonderful and is good for the soul, but also calms and disinfects, it is the absolute favorite herb for our ACHTSAM products.
What people used to have in their "feel" has now also been scientifically* proven: the specific ingredients of stone pine lead to a gentle heart rate, which puts less strain on the organism and people feel better rested and recovered. Last but not least, pine wood – and with it the pine oil obtained from it – counteracts sensitivity to the weather, harmonises the circulation and thus strengthens general well-being. However, whether this also applies to the alcoholic version of Swiss stone pine has probably not yet been scientifically verified! Try!
