Ingredients
SELF, it’s in our nature
It is important for us that you know what you’re putting on your skin.
Our products contain only the best nourishing ingredients from Mother Nature. These ingredients are carefully selected based on the natural character of the skin and are suitable for all skin types, including pregnant women, babies, and sensitive skins. All products of SELF are based on cocos, macadamia, argan, shea butter and aloe vera, above that every product is supplemented with additional ingredients depending on the need and purpose of the product.
Using a natural product is not particularly better for you of your skin. More important are the used active ingredients and how they work together. The skincare range of SELF works like a tandem to nourish, protect an repair your skin barrier. We make the difference for your skin!
Most brands will put the bare minimum in the formula to deliver just the bare amount of results possible because that’s the most cost-efficient way to make products. But we believe more matters. If science shows that a result requires a minimum of 0.1% you’ll likely see much more than that percentage to deliver what we find is the absolute best possible result to our clients. We pack ingredients at the highest levels of concentration to deliver maximum results.
Stop using cortisone, chemicals… our 100% natural and vegan products will rebuild your skin!
