Production

The production Martina Gebhardt hasmore than 30 years of experience. Martina was bitten by a dog at the age of 3 and kept a nasty scar on her cheek until she was a teenager when an old doctor prescribed an ointment based on wool wax which erased the scar within a few months. This fascinated the young girl so much that she began to make effective creams from wool wax and plants for her friends. After her studies in architecture, she presented her creams at an artisanal market and the encounters she had on this occasion led her to a new choice in life: to make cosmetic products in the spirit of biodynamics. All her products have since been certifiedDemeter cosmetics(using a maximum of ingredients from biodynamic cultivation) andwithout the use of animal testing.

As a matter of principle, no standardized raw materials are used, so that the fragrance, color and consistency may vary slightly. This is not a quality defect but a proof of the use of natural raw materials.

Some general information

  • All the compositions of these natural cosmetics areproven and lead to support the functions of the skin. Thus the skin remains healthy and will regain itsnatural balance.
  • The philosophical idea that less is more is reflected in the design of Martina Gebhardt's products: they contain only essential ingredients that complement each other to create asynergy, a special, magical essence that exceeds the sum of the effects of the individual components.
  • Martina Gebhardt's skincreams have amoisture contentof about 50 percent, e.g. herbal extracts in pure spring water, and contain 50 percent oily substances, e.g. waxes, fats and vegetable oils. This corresponds to the lipid-moisture ratio of the outer skin layer of a 20 year old woman. Nourishing this part of the skin helps support the skin's vitality, health and softness. Moisturizers that focus too much on fats and oils alter the natural balance of the skin and make it increasingly dry.
  • The creams have anideal pH of 5 to 6, which helps the skin maintain its natural protective barrier.
  • Beeswax and wool waxes are excellent basic nutritive materials for dermal ointments. They contain a natural emulsifier that smoothes the skin, making it elastic and soft. In addition, wool wax is an excellent care substance, especially for dry and allergy-prone skin.Pure essential oils, propolis and rose water reduce bacterial growth and thus act as gentle preservatives.
  • In theliquid cleansers and creams,lecithin and pea starch are used as emulsifiers, both of which are certified organically grown.Coconut butter alcohol is added for consistency and this non-irritating substance makes the skin smooth and soft.
  • All Martina Gebhardt creams can be used with any of her other products.
