For more than fifteen years the self-taught Martina Gebhardt produces and commercializes natural cosmetics under her own name. Throughout all these years the House Gebhardt not only maintained faithfully its valuable recipes, but also kept the company's philosophy: products derived from dead animals or raw materials for which animals had to be killed are absolutely taboo; animal testing is rejected as well: no synthetic or imitation of raw materials are used; no artificial colors or scents; no preservatives; no emulsifiers; no artificial light protection filters; no paraffin and no surfactants. One may wonder: what ingredients do these natural cosmetics contain at all? It's very simple: they consist of 100% natural components from controlled biological farms or following the strict Demeter-regulations. Producing according to rhythmic, bio-dynamical rules and the corresponding combination of raw materials guarantees a minimum shelf life of the finished product of one and a half years. They use spagyric essences from their own production. They package in environmentally sensible glass containers without cardboard boxes, no aluminum or plastic. The basis of these care products is beeswax and wool wax, combined with high quality oils, herb extracts and essential oils. The product spectrum is composed of various articles such as creams, milks, facial lotions and high quality oils for all different skin types. In principle Martina Gebhardt Natural Cosmetics abstains from animal testing and from product contents for which animals have to suffer or be killed. The company is a member of the International Manufacturers against Animal Testing in the Cosmetic Industry (IHTK). Items include 4 skincare systems, eye cream, lip balm, body lotions, men's aftershave and shaving cream, infant oils..

PRODUCTS

Shea Butter Line
Formerly known as "Sensina" which means: without allergy-causing substances, it means pure, free of allergens....it means neutral. "Sensina" means, in practical terms, that the creams and cleanser in this series of skin care products contain no essential oils, no alcohol, no herbal extracts or bee products. They also do not contain any preservatives, synthetic substances or perfumes.... they are totally free of the usual substances which could cause reactions in allergy-prone individuals, for most.

It is recommended, as all our products are, to start with samples.

QUESTIONS REGARDING

APPLICATION

In the morning: apply the facial water after cleansing in order to refresh and vitalize the skin. Tap well to stimulate the skin's blood circulation.

Next, the cream is massaged into the slightly moist skin. You only need a small amount. If you prefer cream with a lighter consistency, combine a pea-sized drop of the cream with one drop of lotion on your hand, rub together and apply the mixture to the skin.

In the evening, you only need the fat-replenishing cleansing lotion to sufficiently protect the skin through the night. At night, the skin should be able to "breathe" which means: sweat and waste products can reach the surface of the skin unhindered. This way, your skin remains healthy and recovers its natural balance.

Martina Gebhardt
Our products are composed to support the functions of the skin. In this way, you can be assured that your skin remains healthy and will return to its natural balance. With our products, we attempt to reinstate the natural order. The quality of skin care products depends primarily on the freshness of the raw materials and the methods that are used for processing these materials. We use the freshest herbs and oils to manufacture our high-quality cosmetic skin care products. We obtain most of our raw materials from certified organic cultivation or Demeter contract growers. Naturally, we do not use any animal derived raw materials and our manufacturing processes are in accordance with the guidelines of the German Animal Rights Association. We only use 100% natural ingredients. We do not use synthetic raw materials, surfactants, glycerol, titanium dioxide, preservatives or alcohol for our creams and lotions. We do not use any raw materials produced by inhumane animal practices. We obtain more than 95% of our raw materials from certified organic cultivation or Demeter contract cultivation. We prepare our own spagyric essences. This preparation follows rhythmical, biodynamic principles. All of our products have the official seal for certified natural cosmetic products. In the past 15 years, all of our products that were tested by the German consumer magazine, "Öko-Test", received top ratings. Our products are composed to support the functions of the skin. In this way, you can be assured that your skin remains healthy and will return to its natural balance. Our skin creams have a moisture content of about 50 percent, e.g. herbal extracts in pure spring water, and contain 50 percent oily substances, e.g. plant oils, fats and waxes. This corresponds to the composition of the hydrolipid layer (the lipid-moisture ratio of our skin) of the skin of a 20 year old woman. Nourishing this skin layer helps support the vitality, health and smoothness of your skin. Moisturizing creams, fat based creams and oils impair the natural balance of the skin causing the skin to become increasingly dryer. We use wool wax in our skin creams as an emulsifier. The wool wax is produced by a washing and centrifuging process that results in a practically pesticide-free substance. Wool wax is an excellent skin care substance suited especially for dry and allergy-prone skin types. In our cleansers and facial lotions we use lecithin and pea starch as emulsifiers, both produced in certified organic cultivation. Coconut butter alcohol is added for consistency. This non-irritating substance makes the skin smooth and soft. All creams can be combined with any of our other products. All cosmetic products should be applied sparingly, nurturing rather than inhibiting the skins' own functions. Using creams with an ideal pH value of 5 to 6, you assist your skin in preserving its natural protective barrier. There are no cosmetic products that can completely prevent the natural aging process of the skin, however, nature is abundant with plant oils and herbs that can preserve the elasticity and vitality of the skin, giving it a healthy and soft appearance. No chemical synthetic imitations can nurture and protect the skin as natural substances can. It's simple; follow your desire and try something that appeals to you, that you have an "appetite" for. Surely, you do not feel like eating carrots every day, do you? The same goes for your skin. Your body and/or your skin will no longer absorb the same substances once they are saturated with them. For different skin types, we do recommend certain products, however, we also recommend that you trust your sense of smell and your own perception since the herbs contained in the products will attract you through their fragrances. If a certain fragrance is pleasing to you, you will also harmonize with the ingredients associated with it (the affinity principle). Don't worry, we will not fool your sense of smell! Demeter Certified Products As a member of the Demeter alliance, we want to promote products that are marked with the Demeter symbol. This symbol means that 90% to 100% of the ingredients come from Demeter contract cultivation. Demeter stands for the highest possible quality and guarantees natural raw materials with the lowest possible pollutant contamination levels and the integration of biodynamic processes (including observance of moon phases) during plant cultivation, processing and preparation of the cosmetic products. Member of IHTK (International Manufacturers Association against Animal Testing for Cosmetics Inc.) The Guidelines of the German Animal Rights Association Inc. in Bonn and of the IHTK. We submitted a legally binding declaration that: We do not perform any testing on animals in the development and manufacturing of our products. We do not process any raw materials that have been tested on animals for the first time after January 1, 1997. The decisive factor is that the substances have been marketed prior to January 1, 1979, regardless if they were tested on animals prior to this date. Synthetic substances marketed after this date were not allowed to have been tested on animals. However, neither we nor manufacturers supporting the positive list can be certain that a third party has not performed or will not perform animal testing for a synthetic substance that has been available prior to January 1, 1997. The same uncertainty applies to edible natural raw material marketed after the January 1, 1997 deadline. Provided that the manufacturers who support the positive list are not associated in any way with such a company, the manufacturers should be permitted to use the substance in question. We do not use any raw materials that are produced by torturing or killing animals (e.g. mink oil, carmine, musk oil). We are not associated with other companies that either perform or commission animal testing (e.g. pharmaceutical industry). We provide detailed listings of the raw materials used including supplier information. A complete summary of the ingredients of all products can be found on the packaging or in the catalogues.
