Bionome beauty care in harmony with the skin

The bionome quality standards for skin-friendly, animal-friendly and environmentally friendly products:

■ Free of preservatives

■ Free of mineral oils

■ Free of substances from killed animals

■ Does away with unnecessary waste: no additional packaging

■ Free of perfume, except for special products containing essential oils** Essential oils are indicated on respective products in accordance

with legal requirements

The specifics of bionome skincareBeauCaire® is of a completely different quality to other so-called “organic” cosmetics. Some “organic”cosmetics still contain certain chemical preservatives and highlight natural substances not all of which are good for and compatible with the skin. We consistently employ the knowledge of dermatologists and allergologists to ensure the compatibility of every cosmetic ingredient in our products and are always mindful of the ethical aspects of environmental and animal protection. The quality standards mentioned above have been conceptualized in accordance with “Bionomy” (the science of the laws of life) to create the concept of “bionome skincare”. The following explains itin detail:

■ Optimal compatibility through consistent application of dermatological and allergologicalknowledge in the choice of compatible ingredients.

■ A targeted selection of ingredients whose positive effects have been accurately describedand substantiated to ensure the maximum benefit to your skin.

■ Harmony between skincare and the structure and metabolism of the skin through the utilization ofskin-related ingredients and substances which exist naturally in our skin and organs.

■ Environmentally friendly through avoidance of unnecessary packaging waste.■ Animal-friendly through avoiding the use of animal substances in our products.

Compatibility comes first

Give up mineral oils – for the sake of your skin!

For us compatibility is the basis of sound skincare and beauty regime because without optimal com-patibility all the other characteristics of a product are meaningless. Naturally there is never 100% safe-ty against allergic reactions, because any natural as well as any chemical substance could potential-ly cause a reaction. However in developing products we take into account all scientific findings whichconcern allergic reactions in the skin, as well as dermatology and allergology studies, and thereforereduce the likelihood of an allergic reaction to a minimal residual risk. To further ensure compatibilitythe BeauCaire® research team has turned their efforts to making all products long-lasting without theaddition of chemical preservatives and given the products a pleasant delicate fragrance without theuse of perfume. When essential oils are included, they are detailed on each product in accordancewith legal regulations.

Mineral oils and paraffin wax are very cheap and can therefore considerably reduce the cost of man-ufacturing skincare products. However in high concentrations it can build up an impermeable film onthe surface of the skin and therefore impair or even obstruct the replenishment of the skin’s lipid bar-rier. This disruption of the skin’s physiology can lead to itchy, dried-out, unhealthy skin; even after useof a product containing mineral oils is discontinued for a given period of time and replaced by a high-quality product containing natural plant oils. Therefore BeauCaire® chooses to forgo the low-pricedmineral oils completely.

Treating your skin with skin

Through the utilization of plant-based lipids, which are similar to important building blocks in thehuman skin we are guaranteed perfect compatibility and effectiveness.

The multilamellar liposomes developed by BeauCaire® are comprised of these very same skin endemic lipids. Simply put, you are caring for your skin with “skin”. Could there be anything more nat-ural for your skin? Multilamellar liposomes are not only extraordinary active ingredients but also excip-ients, e.g. they transport skin-friendly and protective vitamins deep into the skin.

Using these multilamellar liposomes cause a clearly measurable improvement in the skin’s moisturelevels in only 7 days. Even a short exposure to the active profile of multi-lamellar liposomes suggeststheir ingenious properties and shows their importance for optimal skin care.

Environmental awareness

The rational development of our products also requires that expensive, extravagant containers andpackaging be done away with. They are of no importance to the condition of the skin and are anunnecessary burden on the environment.

Cosmetics should not only be environmentally friendly and benefit the user by being optimally com-patible and effective, but also consider the needs of our fellow creatures. Animal ingredients in cos-metic products derive predominantly from waste from slaughterhouses and from animals who havesuffered their whole lives in “factory farms” where animals are intensively mass-farmed. Just like otheranimal conservationists we consider factory farming a terrible form of animal cruelty and thereforeavoid the use of animal ingredients in our products. On ethical grounds we also object to the killing ofanimals on principle, because as our fellow creatures they have a right to life and deserve to be treat-ed with integrity. Please consider that as a rule no old or sick animals are slaughtered, but almostinvariably animals which are in the prime of their lives or even still babies (calves, piglets etc) whoseshort lives after the separation from their mothers were a living nightmare.

Conclusion: Concentrating on the essentials

Concentrating on the fundamentals is a priority at BeauCaire®: Compatibility with and effectiveness onthe skin as well as consideration for the wellbeing of animals and the environment. In addition to skin-care without animal substances we naturally also recommend a healthy vegetarian diet for the nour-ishment of your skin and the wellbeing of our fellow creatures.

For the protection of consumers it is a legal requirement that the ingredients in cosmetic products areidentified on the packaging (INCI Declaration). But the consumer is often not familiar with these (oftenLatin) terms. For this reason we have put together a list of frequently used chemical preservatives,perfumes and petroleum-based products/mineral oils that are present in cosmetic products.

Perfume, Fragrance.

Chemical preservatives: Benzoic Acid, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propyl paraben,Triclosan, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Diazolidinyl Urea, Chlorhexidin, Methylisothiazolinon, Sodium Benzoate,Potassium Sorbate, Dibromodicyanobutan, Sorbic Acid, DMDM Hydantoin, PolyaminopropylBiguanide, Phenoxyethanol, Chlormethylisothiazolinon, Bronopol, Quarternium 115, Iodpropinylbutyl-carbamat. Please note: “nature-related” preservatives are chemical preservatives.

Petroleum-based products/Mineral oils: Mineral Oil, Petrolatum (Vaseline), Paraffinum-Liquidum,Paraffinum-Subliquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Microcrystalline Wax, Ozokerit, Ceresin.

If you would like further information about the advantages and disadvantages of individual cosmeticingredients we recommend the following literature, in particular the “Blue List” handed out for special-ists classifies cosmetic ingredients according to the “potential allergic threat” they pose. The “BlueList” is written by the following authors: Dr. H.P. Fiedler, Wiesbaden; Prof. Dr. H. Ippen, Göttingen;Prof. Dr. F.H. Kemper, Münster; Prof. Dr. Dr. N.-P. Lüpke, Osnabrück; Prof. Dr. K.H. Schulz, Hamburg;Dr. W. Umbach, Düsseldorf.

The book “Die Bewertung kosmetischer Inhaltsstoffe anhand der INCI-Bezeichnungen” (A review ofcosmetic ingredients based on INCI identification) is an informative reference book for specialists andconsumers without specialized knowledge and is compiled by Dr. Ernst W. Henrich und Dr. ThomasBaumann. It serves to evaluate cosmetic products with regard to compatibility, risk of allergic reactionand effectiveness. Furthermore a distinction is made between plant and animal ingredients to enableanimal-friendly consumers and vegetarians to make the right product choices.

We guarantee you that in our products there are no chemical preservatives, no perfumes and nomineral oils and/or paraffin from petroleum.

Multilamellar liposomesProperties

Scientific studies have shown that theapplication of multilamellar liposomestwice a day can greatly enhance the skin’sability to retain moisture within a shortperiod of time. For example, these resultshave been documented in the scientificpublication “Haut und Liposome” (Skinand Liposomes) (1992) by Dr. Ghyczy etAl. and “Beeinflussung der Haut-feuchtigkeit durch Lipsomen” (The influ-ence of liposomes on the skin’s moistureretention) in: Fachmagazin SöFW 10/92by Dr. Röding et Al.

Simultaneous active ingredientand excipient

Liposomes are substances which are con-natural to the skin, and which perform animportant transport function in addition todispensing moisture to the skin. They have

the ability to carry other beneficial substancessuch as vitamins E, A and D-Panthenol intothe skin.

Compatibility

Lipids, the building blocks of multilamellarliposomes, come directly from nature and

serve as components of skin cells. Thisis the basis for exceptionally good com-patibility. Due to the effective penetrationof the liposomes into the skin we, ofcourse, do not use chemical preserva-tives or perfumes in our products.

Specific active substances and excipients

Facial CareThese products can be used independent of the BeauCaire® Liposome treat-ments but are best used as a supplement to the liposome products in order toachieve optimal results. In this case the liposome product must be applied first,followed by the skin cream.

With BeauCaire® skin creams we differentiate between Intensive products whichprovide intensive skin care for problem skins and Super Sensitive products whichprovide mild care for sensitive skins.

Intensive light For oily skin

Products and application

Super sensitive products for gentle care of delicate skins

Super-Sensitive light For oily skin

Super-Sensitive mediumFor normal and combination skin

This light oil-in-water emulsion con-tains as few active ingredients as pos-sible. It is therefore suitable for peoplewith highly sensitive skin who struggleto find a compatible skincare productfor their skin. This product containshigh-quality vitamin E, urea and lacticacid. As the oil component we select-ed silicone oil, which is highly compat-ible with the skin and should not beconfused with mineral oils or paraffin.Silicone oil is just as comfortable onthe skin as natural plant oils; in con-trast to mineral oils, it does not buildan impermeable film on the skin. Oneadvantage of silicone oil is that it ismuch slower to build up deposits inthe environment than natural plant oils.We recommend the Super Sensitiveproducts for people with highly sensi-tive skin.
