MARTINA GEBHARDT: «It is my belief that cosmetics are an intimate bond between our senses and sensuality because beauty care is a highly developed form of art. The enveloping fragrance of essential oils, the softness of creams and lotions that cover the skin like silk and the gentle massage effects when applying them are as important to me as the classic aspects of skincare. Through this sensual experience, we open up. Our muscles, tissue and cells relax and we experience a sense of well-being. Energy blockages are released and we radiate vitality. We feel beautiful– we are beautiful».

MARTINA GEBHARDT BESTSELLERS

MG SHEABUTTER for very sensitive, dry and allergy-prone skin

It was created according to the principle of minimalism: a delicate effect and nothing superfluous. It does not contain essential oils, alcohol, plant extracts and bee products. It also does not contain preservatives, surfactants, synthetic or nature-identical raw materials, paraffins and perfumes. Thus, it is completely devoid of those substances that can cause irritation in people prone to allergies.

MG HAPPY AGING for mature skin (from 35+ onwards) in need of regeneration

Anti-Aging? Happy aging! The power to regenerate lies within ourselves. We can use it if we learn to accept ourselves as we are. Anti means resistance and is ultimately directed against ourselves and thus against our ability to regenerate. Anti makes old! Acceptance for what is makes “happy” and thus “forever young” – visible to everyone.

MG GINSENG for demanding skin in need of regeneration

Due to the high content of vitamins and building blocks, it promotes skin regeneration, especially in stressful situations, increasing skin vitality. With fresh invigorating scent.

MG Rose for demanding, dry, mature and sensitive skin

The rose has always been a symbol of inner and outer beauty. It has a harmonizing and balancing effect on the skin. Its gentle, enveloping scent also calms the mind.

MG Eye Care for dry, sensitive and mature skin

The skin around the eyes is very thin, prone to dryness and practically devoid of fat layer; therefore it begins to age earlier than other. Properly daily care supports it to keep vital.
