Dear Readers,
“Tradition is a lantern. The foolish hold on to it. The clever allow it to
lead the way,” said the famous Irish playwright and politician George
Bernard Shaw. We think he was right. In the past several months
we have worked hard on a gentle, tradition-conscious and yet bold new
presentation of our brand profi le. All products and media have been
redesigned. Our new and improved system-based skin care series
ZZ SENSITIVE (p.8) is fi rst to have its makeover. On p.22, you can
fi nd our newly developed, innovative and vegan intensive concentrate
in the BEAUTY SHOTS, which will be sure to deliver an instant impact.
This new redesign applies not only to individual advertising media,
but in fact to our whole customer magazime, NATURAL WOMAN.
You are holding the fi rst redesigned issue in your hands right now!
The new design will make our products and their unique method of
action even easier to recognize in the future. Our new quality seal
(p. 21) shows at a glance what makes our effective natural cosmetics
so special and what we, a company from the Black Forest in operation
since 1959, stand for: a pioneering scientifi c spirit, quality in everything
we do, and a respectful, responsible attitude towards nature.
Please let me know how you like our new brand identity. I am eager
to hear what you think and look forward to your comments. Please
send your e-mail to [email protected].

SUPERHERO – ON AND OFF SCREEN
TRULY MULTITALENTEDJessica Marie Alba was born in California on April 28, 1981. She began her acting career in 1994 with a variety of kids TV series (including 27 episodes of ‘Flipper – The New Adventures’).

It was followed by blockbusters such as Sin City (2005, 2014), Fantastic Four (2005, 2007) and many more. In 2008 she married movie producer Cash Warren (36). The couple has two daughters, Honor Marie (7) and Haven Garner (4). Alba founded ‘The Honest Company’ in 2011 and wrote her book ‘The Honest Life’ one year later. The entrepreneur was even featured on the cover of the busi-ness magazine Forbes this June.

conditions such as sensitive skin,” says
Guylaine Le Loarer. After all, sensitive
skin is not diseased. Its is merely
out of balance, leaving it unable to
function as an effective barrier. This is
where the optimized ZZ SENSITIVE
products come in. The pre- and
probiotic active complex they contain
is made up of oligosaccharides. These
polysaccharides derived from yacón,
red beets and corn are combined with
freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria. They
are inactive, meaning that they do
not multiply in the fi nished product.
“That is important in relation to the
product’s germ content, which is
regulated by the German Cosmetics
Ordinance,” explains the Director
of Research. However, they are still
effective on the skin, helping to
restore its natural balance. Another
new ingredient, an established and
successful component of traditional
Chinese medicine, is the golden
orchid. It is especially helpful in
regulating the skin’s protective acid
mantle. The active ingredient, which
has been integrated into the ZZ
SENSITIVE system-based skin care
series, strengthens the epidermis
and reduces sensitive skin fl are-ups.
THE GOAL IS HEALTHY, WELL-BALANCED SKIN
Once skin reactions have been
brought under control, the innovative
double principle from ANNEMARIE
BÖRLIND can take effect. When the
skin is well-balanced, it is also able
to absorb regenerating substances.
Such as white lupine. Active sub-
stances in the plant stimulate collagen
production, which in turn improves the
skin’s elasticity and tone and fi rms up
contours. This makes the regenerating
day and night creams from the ZZ
SENSITIVE system-based skin care
series genuine innovations for sensi-
tive skin. “These days, it is not enough
just to offer products suitable for the
customer’s respective skin type.
We here at ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND
want to put our customers at the
forefront of product development,”
says Guylaine Le Loarer. Used as an
overall skin care system, the perfectly
coordinated products have a soothing,
protective and strengthening effect.
This enables the skin to become its
most beautiful; blossoming in youthful
freshness once again.
GOODBYE STRESSANNEMARIE BÖRLIND is setting the gold standard for all those with sensitive skin by including pre- and probiotic active substances in its products, as approximately half the popu-lation in Germany has sensitive skin. Unlike people with healthy skin, the invisible ecosystem of microorganisms in people with sensitive skin has become im-balanced. Reasons for this im-balance include using cosmetics unsuitable for your skin type,
cigarette smoke, pollutants, cold and excessive washing. These influences weaken the skin barrier, which can lead to pimples, itching, burning, feelings of tightness or red patches. The skin becomes stressed. In addition to containing innovative active substances, ZZ SENSITIVE pro-ducts were developed specifically without substances that could trigger allergies or reactions. They contain no fragrances, dyes or preservatives.

27 Letters from Readers, Questions
and Answers, Imprint.
Dear Readers,
“Tradition is a lantern. The foolish hold on to it. The clever allow it to
lead the way,” said the famous Irish playwright and politician George
Bernard Shaw. We think he was right. In the past several months
we have worked hard on a gentle, tradition-conscious and yet bold new
presentation of our brand profi le. All products and media have been
redesigned. Our new and improved system-based skin care series
ZZ SENSITIVE (p.8) is fi rst to have its makeover. On p.22, you can
fi nd our newly developed, innovative and vegan intensive concentrate
in the BEAUTY SHOTS, which will be sure to deliver an instant impact.
This new redesign applies not only to individual advertising media,
but in fact to our whole customer magazime, NATURAL WOMAN.
You are holding the fi rst redesigned issue in your hands right now!
The new design will make our products and their unique method of
action even easier to recognize in the future. Our new quality seal
(p. 21) shows at a glance what makes our effective natural cosmetics
so special and what we, a company from the Black Forest in operation
since 1959, stand for: a pioneering scientifi c spirit, quality in everything
we do, and a respectful, responsible attitude towards nature.
Please let me know how you like our new brand identity. I am eager
to hear what you think and look forward to your comments. Please
send your e-mail to [email protected].
Sincerely yours,

conditions such as sensitive skin,” says
Guylaine Le Loarer. After all, sensitive
skin is not diseased. Its is merely
out of balance, leaving it unable to
function as an effective barrier. This is
where the optimized ZZ SENSITIVE
products come in. The pre- and
probiotic active complex they contain
is made up of oligosaccharides. These
polysaccharides derived from yacón,
red beets and corn are combined with
freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria. They
are inactive, meaning that they do
not multiply in the fi nished product.
“That is important in relation to the
product’s germ content, which is
regulated by the German Cosmetics
Ordinance,” explains the Director
of Research. However, they are still
effective on the skin, helping to
restore its natural balance. Another
new ingredient, an established and
successful component of traditional
Chinese medicine, is the golden
orchid. It is especially helpful in
regulating the skin’s protective acid
mantle. The active ingredient, which
has been integrated into the ZZ
SENSITIVE system-based skin care
series, strengthens the epidermis
and reduces sensitive skin fl are-ups.
THE GOAL IS HEALTHY, WELL-BALANCED SKIN
Once skin reactions have been
brought under control, the innovative
double principle from ANNEMARIE
BÖRLIND can take effect. When the
skin is well-balanced, it is also able
to absorb regenerating substances.
Such as white lupine. Active sub-
stances in the plant stimulate collagen
production, which in turn improves the
skin’s elasticity and tone and fi rms up
contours. This makes the regenerating
day and night creams from the ZZ
SENSITIVE system-based skin care
series genuine innovations for sensi-
tive skin. “These days, it is not enough
just to offer products suitable for the
customer’s respective skin type.
We here at ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND
want to put our customers at the
forefront of product development,”
says Guylaine Le Loarer. Used as an
overall skin care system, the perfectly
coordinated products have a soothing,
protective and strengthening effect.
This enables the skin to become its
most beautiful; blossoming in youthful
freshness once again.
GOODBYE STRESSANNEMARIE BÖRLIND is setting the gold standard for all those with sensitive skin by including pre- and probiotic active substances in its products, as approximately half the popu-lation in Germany has sensitive skin. Unlike people with healthy skin, the invisible ecosystem of microorganisms in people with sensitive skin has become im-balanced. Reasons for this im-balance include using cosmetics unsuitable for your skin type,
cigarette smoke, pollutants, cold and excessive washing. These influences weaken the skin barrier, which can lead to pimples, itching, burning, feelings of tightness or red patches. The skin becomes stressed. In addition to containing innovative active substances, ZZ SENSITIVE pro-ducts were developed specifically without substances that could trigger allergies or reactions. They contain no fragrances, dyes or preservatives.

a line to the outer corner of the eye. Then move your pencil to the inner corner of the eye and draw another
line that connects with the fi rst.Frame the lower eyelid with liner.If you want, you can use kohl eye-
liner to further intensify the lid line.

architect Frank Gehry, who was also
the designer of the Guggenheim
Museum Bilbao. It is home to several
galleries and rooms for permanent
collection and temporary exhibits. For
a charming stroll, try the ‘Coulée verte
René-Dumont’ (3). This green belt in
the heart of the city follows an old
railway line and is lined with beds of
perennials, trees and potted plants. It
extends for four and a half kilometers,
partly on wooden walkways, and is
slightly elevated from the Place de la
Bastille until shortly before the Bois
de Vincennes. It's the perfect location
to relax and unwind after a museum
visit or a morning shopping excursion.
At the beginning of the ‘Coulée verte’
is located ‘Le Viaduc des Arts’. Below
it, Avenue Daumesnil is home to the

RECOGNIZING THE SKIN’S NEEDS
The interplay of moisture and oil is
crucial. Dry skin thirsts for both.
Substances such as urea, panthenol,
and hyaluronic acid moisturize skin
and foster its ability to retain mois-
ture. Vegetable oils like borage seed
and evening primrose oil, closely
resemble the skin’s own oils, which
ensures that moisture is locked into
the skin and that the hydro lipid
mantle can regenerate. This process
is facilitated by substances such as
vegetable squalene. It leaves skin soft
but not oily. A similar compound is a
part of skin’s protective acid mantle.
Dry, tight skin is especially unpleasant
in the eye area and quickly becomes
visible in the form of small lines and
wrinkles. The skin is extremely thin
here and contains few sebum and
sweat glands. In addition to the eyes
blinking approximately 10,000 times
a day, skin in the eye area is also
put under strain by heating and air
conditioning and exposure to UV rays.
Products with hydrating substances
such as hyaluronic acid improve the
skin’s look and feel. Polyunsaturated
fatty acids in vegetable oils such as
Inca peanut oil strengthen the skin

back into the softest silk.
RECOGNIZING THE SKIN’S NEEDS
The interplay of moisture and oil is
crucial. Dry skin thirsts for both.
Substances such as urea, panthenol,
and hyaluronic acid moisturize skin
and foster its ability to retain mois-
ture. Vegetable oils like borage seed
and evening primrose oil, closely
resemble the skin’s own oils, which
ensures that moisture is locked into
the skin and that the hydro lipid
mantle can regenerate. This process
is facilitated by substances such as
vegetable squalene. It leaves skin soft
but not oily. A similar compound is a
part of skin’s protective acid mantle.
Dry, tight skin is especially unpleasant
in the eye area and quickly becomes
visible in the form of small lines and
wrinkles. The skin is extremely thin
here and contains few sebum and
sweat glands. In addition to the eyes
blinking approximately 10,000 times
a day, skin in the eye area is also
put under strain by heating and air
conditioning and exposure to UV rays.
Products with hydrating substances
such as hyaluronic acid improve the
skin’s look and feel. Polyunsaturated
fatty acids in vegetable oils such as
Inca peanut oil strengthen the skin

_How is the main active substance

What does biotechnological mean?
The phytoplankton comes from a special
ecosystem in France, the Aber Benoît
River, which fl ows into the Atlantic. The
manufacturer of the active ingredient
was able to isolate a unique, natural
sugar molecule, Exopolysaccharide 15,
from the phytoplankton. The molecule
in this particular form is produced
exclusively by this phytoplankton.
For sustainability reasons, the micro-
organism is isolated and cultivated
in special bioreactors. There the micro-
organism releases its special sugar
molecule onto a medium from which
it can then be harvested. This makes
it possible to control the production
process. In addition, the chemical
structure and purity of the special
sugar molecule are always reproducible,
which is benefi cial considering that
the molecule cannot be found in any
other organism on land and exists
only in this delta estuary.

Dear Readers,
“Tradition is a lantern. The foolish hold on to it. The clever allow it to
lead the way,” said the famous Irish playwright and politician George
Bernard Shaw. We think he was right. In the past several months
we have worked hard on a gentle, tradition-conscious and yet bold new
presentation of our brand profi le. All products and media have been
redesigned. Our new and improved system-based skin care series
ZZ SENSITIVE (p.8) is fi rst to have its makeover. On p.22, you can
fi nd our newly developed, innovative and vegan intensive concentrate
in the BEAUTY SHOTS, which will be sure to deliver an instant impact.
This new redesign applies not only to individual advertising media,
but in fact to our whole customer magazime, NATURAL WOMAN.
You are holding the fi rst redesigned issue in your hands right now!
The new design will make our products and their unique method of
action even easier to recognize in the future. Our new quality seal
(p. 21) shows at a glance what makes our effective natural cosmetics
so special and what we, a company from the Black Forest in operation
since 1959, stand for: a pioneering scientifi c spirit, quality in everything
we do, and a respectful, responsible attitude towards nature.
Please let me know how you like our new brand identity. I am eager
to hear what you think and look forward to your comments. Please
send your e-mail to [email protected].
Sincerely yours,

here. This was how ANNEMARIE
BÖRLIND discovered phytoplankton
with its amazing ability to strengthen
the skin barrier and reduce infl am-
mation. The formulas for the individual
BEAUTY SHOTS contain additional
innovative new active ingredients,
such as the red algae in the HYDRO
BOOSTER. And as Guylaine Le Loarer
explains, this stimulates the skin’s own
hyaluronic acid production. Drawing
on the latest scientifi c fi ndings,
ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND is eliciting
hidden beauty potential from other
plants as well. Szechuan pepper in
the ANTI AGING REVITALIZER, for
example, helps to relax the facial
features. It is enhanced by an oil
derived from the sap droplets of the
Greek mastic pistachio. “It stimulates
the skin’s youthful genes. This
activates the synthesis of proteins
that are responsible for fi rm, youthful
skin and that reduce fi ne lines
and wrinkles,” explains the Head of
Research and Development for
BÖRLIND GmbH. She and her team
subjected all of the BEAUTY SHOTS
to strict tests for biocompatibility and
effectiveness. Applied to cleansed
skin, the intensive concentrates are
absorbed almost instantly and, as
if by magic, the skin radiates with the
power of the sea and its plants.

Can you eat ‘botanical caviar’
too? What can it be used for?
BRIGITTE GRASS, LEIPZIG
That is
a good
question!
‘Botanical
caviar’ is
made from
macroalgae
and is used
in our BEAUTY PEARLS. People
do eat botanical caviar in Asia,
where it is valued for its ability to
lower blood pressure. The high
vitamin and mineral content in
botanical caviar make it an excellent
source of nutrients. Botanical caviar
is especially popular among the
inhabitants of the Japanese island
of Okinawa, the “island of cente-
narians,” whose age and good health
are attributable to diet and lifestyle.
In cosmetics, botanical caviar
facilitates better cohesion between
the epidermis and the dermis,
thereby improving and fi rming
the skin structure. It is a striking
example of the motto: “I only
put on my skin what I would also
put in my mouth.”
Mineral oils in cosmetics are said
to be harmful to health. Do you
use them in your products?
TINA STEILER, STUTTGART
MOAHs (mineral oil aromatic
hydrocarbons) are aromatic hydro-
carbons based on mineral oil.
As pioneers in the fi eld of natural
cosmetics, we naturally do not use
them – or many other substances
that are hazardous to health.

27 Letters from Readers, Questions
and Answers, Imprint.
Dear Readers,
“Tradition is a lantern. The foolish hold on to it. The clever allow it to
lead the way,” said the famous Irish playwright and politician George
Bernard Shaw. We think he was right. In the past several months
we have worked hard on a gentle, tradition-conscious and yet bold new
presentation of our brand profi le. All products and media have been
redesigned. Our new and improved system-based skin care series
ZZ SENSITIVE (p.8) is fi rst to have its makeover. On p.22, you can
fi nd our newly developed, innovative and vegan intensive concentrate
in the BEAUTY SHOTS, which will be sure to deliver an instant impact.
This new redesign applies not only to individual advertising media,
but in fact to our whole customer magazime, NATURAL WOMAN.
You are holding the fi rst redesigned issue in your hands right now!
The new design will make our products and their unique method of
action even easier to recognize in the future. Our new quality seal
(p. 21) shows at a glance what makes our effective natural cosmetics
so special and what we, a company from the Black Forest in operation
since 1959, stand for: a pioneering scientifi c spirit, quality in everything
we do, and a respectful, responsible attitude towards nature.
Please let me know how you like our new brand identity. I am eager
to hear what you think and look forward to your comments. Please
send your e-mail to [email protected].
Sincerely yours,
DANIELA LINDNERMember of themanagement team

here. This was how ANNEMARIE
BÖRLIND discovered phytoplankton
with its amazing ability to strengthen
the skin barrier and reduce infl am-
mation. The formulas for the individual
BEAUTY SHOTS contain additional
innovative new active ingredients,
such as the red algae in the HYDRO
BOOSTER. And as Guylaine Le Loarer
explains, this stimulates the skin’s own
hyaluronic acid production. Drawing
on the latest scientifi c fi ndings,
ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND is eliciting
hidden beauty potential from other
plants as well. Szechuan pepper in
the ANTI AGING REVITALIZER, for
example, helps to relax the facial
features. It is enhanced by an oil
derived from the sap droplets of the
Greek mastic pistachio. “It stimulates
the skin’s youthful genes. This
activates the synthesis of proteins
that are responsible for fi rm, youthful
skin and that reduce fi ne lines
and wrinkles,” explains the Head of
Research and Development for
BÖRLIND GmbH. She and her team
subjected all of the BEAUTY SHOTS
to strict tests for biocompatibility and
effectiveness. Applied to cleansed
skin, the intensive concentrates are
absorbed almost instantly and, as
if by magic, the skin radiates with the
power of the sea and its plants.

Can you eat ‘botanical caviar’
too? What can it be used for?
BRIGITTE GRASS, LEIPZIG
That is
a good
question!
‘Botanical
caviar’ is
made from
macroalgae
and is used
in our BEAUTY PEARLS. People
do eat botanical caviar in Asia,
where it is valued for its ability to
lower blood pressure. The high
vitamin and mineral content in
botanical caviar make it an excellent
source of nutrients. Botanical caviar
is especially popular among the
inhabitants of the Japanese island
of Okinawa, the “island of cente-
narians,” whose age and good health
are attributable to diet and lifestyle.
In cosmetics, botanical caviar
facilitates better cohesion between
the epidermis and the dermis,
thereby improving and fi rming
the skin structure. It is a striking
example of the motto: “I only
put on my skin what I would also
put in my mouth.”
Mineral oils in cosmetics are said
to be harmful to health. Do you
use them in your products?
TINA STEILER, STUTTGART
MOAHs (mineral oil aromatic
hydrocarbons) are aromatic hydro-
carbons based on mineral oil.
As pioneers in the fi eld of natural
cosmetics, we naturally do not use
them – or many other substances
that are hazardous to health.
