No. Self products feel rich, but not greasy. They absorb quickly and intensely nourish the skin thanks to natural oils.

This means Self doesn't contain any synthetic additives. We use natural preservatives, no artificial fragrances, only plant-based oils, and skin-friendly alcohol.

Not always. Natural and organic aren't the same thing. Self chooses organic growers as much as possible, but not every grower has an official certificate because it's quite expensive.

Not automatically. The key is how many active ingredients a product contains and how the ingredients work together. Self contains a high concentration of active ingredients that reinforce each other.

Yes. Self is safe for the whole family, including babies and pregnant women. We use mild ingredients without harsh chemicals.

Yes. Self is suitable for everyone: women, men, and children.

No. Self uses a skin-friendly, naturally occurring "fatty alcohol" that isn't drying. Always check the INCI list to see which type of alcohol is listed.

No. I do not self-test on animals and do not have others do so.

Yes, all Self products are 100% vegan.

Sometimes. Your skin changes with the seasons and even from day to day. Check your skin's needs daily and adjust your routine accordingly. For example, if it feels a little drier, add the mask to your skincare routine and use it twice a week until your skin feels more comfortable again.

On average, it takes a few weeks, but your skin can need up to two months to fully adjust. With natural products, your skin may initially feel drier as it rebuilds its natural balance. This is because you're no longer using products containing petroleum. Your skin will therefore have to produce its own oils again. After a few weeks, your skin's balance will be restored, and your natural sebum production will have normalized. Even though your skin may feel tight, it will absorb the healthy and intensely nourishing ingredients. It's like water on a very dry earth. After a while, you'll notice that your skin is completely restored!

Usually not. An eye cream can often be a commercial bonus for a brand: facial products contain too few active and often irritating ingredients, so a milder cream is developed for the eyes. But a separate eye cream isn't really necessary. The skin under your eyes is thinner and requires a mild cream, but the same goes for your entire face. Your face doesn't need harsh ingredients. A good, mild cream is perfect for your face and eye contour. Self products are packed with cell-stimulating ingredients, both in our day and night creams, and they'll definitely tackle those crow's feet too!

A mild cleanser that doesn't foam or dry out the skin. A milky cleanser with oil is ideal because it dissolves dirt without damaging the skin barrier.

Cleanse your skin after exercising to remove sweat and dirt, and hydrate afterward. Also, drink plenty of water to support your skin from the inside out.

Yes. You can be allergic to natural ingredients. Test new products on the inside of your elbow first to see if your skin reacts. Allergic reactions to our products are extremely rare.

Often, yes. Self is regularly used alongside medical treatments to support the skin. This allows for a complete reduction in cortizone cream use over time. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist

No. It's best to use SPF separately. Self-tanner needs to be absorbed into the skin, while SPF should stay on the skin. This also makes it easier to adjust your SPF to the season.

Many toners contain mostly water and alcohol and can dry out the skin. A mild cleansing milk is more effective because it cleanses and nourishes.

No. Choose skincare based on your skin type and condition, not your age. Self is suitable for both young and mature skin. Do you have mature skin? Then choose our healthy aging set, which contains ingredients that reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve your skin's elasticity.

Yes. Self is suitable for eczema-prone skin , both in children and adults. Our products are designed to restore the skin barrier , soothe redness and itching, and rebalance the skin, without irritating or hormone-disrupting ingredients. Feel free to check out the results page to see how Self has helped other customers with eczema.

Please note: In case of severe or acute eczema flare-ups, we always recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist.

Absolutely. Self is specially developed for dry, sensitive, and reactive skin . The formulas deeply hydrate, support natural recovery, and help the skin better protect itself against external stimuli like cold, wind, or soap. The serum contains a high percentage of active ingredients. Ideally, you should only start using it once your barrier has recovered.

Self consciously chooses:

• a short, transparent list of ingredients
• natural ingredients with scientific substantiation
• focus on skin barrier repair instead of symptom management
• formulas suitable for long-term use

We do not mask complaints, but help the skin to regain its natural balance .

No. Self does not contain cortisone, hormones, or endocrine disruptors . We believe in skincare that supports the body, not disrupts it—even with long-term use.

It's best to start with a simple basic routine. For the body, we recommend the Eczema Set-Body . For the face, we recommend the Eczema Set-Face .

Our formulas are based on five natural ingredients , each selected for their proven effectiveness on dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin:

• Aloe vera
• Macadamia oil
• Argan oil
• Shea butter
• Coconut oil

Together they support hydration, recovery and protection of the skin barrier.

Many people notice quick relief from dryness and itching , often within a few days. Repairing the skin barrier is a process that takes time, but it does provide more lasting results in the long run .

Yes. Self is designed for daily, long-term use , without the risk of dependency or skin thinning.

During perimenopause, skin often changes due to fluctuations in estrogen levels. This can cause the skin to become drier, more sensitive, and thinner. Many women also notice increased redness, itching, tightness, loss of elasticity, and increased sensitivity to irritation or inflammation.

In addition, the skin barrier can weaken, meaning that the skin retains moisture less well and reacts more quickly to external stimuli such as cold, wind or aggressive skincare.

Self is often recommended during peri-menopause because the products support the skin at a time when it becomes more vulnerable.

Our formulas are developed to:

• to strengthen the skin barrier
• intensely nourish and hydrate
• to soothe irritation and redness
• to rebalance the skin
  

Self contains 100% natural ingredients and avoids harsh substances such as synthetic fragrances, drying alcohols, and irritating additives. This makes the products particularly suitable for sensitive, dry, or easily reactive skin, which typically occurs during perimenopause.

We recommend starting with the basic routine, consisting of the healthy aging set and the facial cleanser . These products are designed to:

• to restore and strengthen the skin barrier
• to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• to stimulate the elasticity of the skin
