What is very clear to me is that the ingredient list is very transparent for each product in the web shop. So each customer can see for themselves what is in our products!
The INCI list of All Day Dreamer, day cream.
Because such an INCI list is not easy to read, I like the one of our bestseller, the All Day Dreamer moisturizer overflowing! It is not an endlessly long list of ingredients. But it does not completely and certainly define whether a product is good or bad! It mainly concerns the active substances and their percentage! I just prefer to have as few ingredients as possible, with each having a high percentage!
