Switching from cosmetics containing silicone to products with bioactive and skin-identical ingredients is an important step towards natural and skin-friendly care. In this blog post, you will learn what you should consider when making the switch.
Skin adaptation time
When switching to bioactive ingredients, the skin may need a period of adjustment. This is because silicones and mineral oils, for example, form an almost impermeable layer on the skin, which disrupts the natural skin function and makes it harder for active ingredients to penetrate.
The skin is then undersupplied with nutrients. We avoid using ingredients that are critically evaluated and can damage the skin.
Bioactive and skin-identical ingredients work deeper and support the skin's natural functions, for vital and beautiful skin.
Possible initial reactions
At the beginning of the transition, skin reactions such as dryness and blemishes may occur. This is often a sign that underlying deposits are being eliminated and the skin is adapting to new active ingredients during the regeneration process.
cleaning
Choosing the right cleansing product is crucial for the skin's ability to absorb; it's like opening the door to subsequent care products. A mild yet thorough cleansing such as clean and tone is the basis for a balanced complexion. Active ingredients protect the skin microbiome, preserve the skin barrier and moisture, regulate excess sebum and gently remove loose skin cells. Overall, the skin is cleared, freed from environmental influences and sustainably refreshed. It is now ready for subsequent care.
Hydration
Skin-identical active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides help to restore the skin's natural moisture barrier. Adequate moisture supply is important for the skin's well-being. During the transition phase, we recommend applying more cream if your skin is very dry.
Advice from experts
It may be helpful to seek advice from an experienced beautician during the transition phase if you feel unsure.

Bioactive ingredients
Bioactive ingredients are also known as cosmeceuticals. Cosmeceuticals are a category of skin care products that lie between cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. They contain active ingredients that go beyond purely cosmetic effects and can specifically target specific skin problems.
Cosmeceuticals contain skin-identical active ingredients. These active ingredients are similar in structure and function to the natural components of the skin. They can be easily absorbed by the skin and support or complement its natural functions.
The use of skin-identical active ingredients in cosmeceuticals aims to support the skin's natural processes, improve its health and minimize age-related changes.
Common skin problems that can be treated with cosmeceuticals include:
- acne
- Dry skin
- Oily skin
- Sensitive skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- Premature aging
