Lacandona Honey
Honey is an old cosmetic household remedy. Its high composition of sugar has been traditionally used as moisture retaining factor and the degradation products of the sugar for soothing of the skin and against skin irritations. Lacandona honey is gathered far off from civilization in the forests of Mexico. This is why Lacanda honey is distinguished by a particularly high degreee of pureness.
Cupuaçu Butter
The cupuaçu tree is at home in the rain forests of the Amazon Basin. Oil from its seeds can be extracted and from it in turn Cupuaçu butter is gained. It is traditionally used for skin care and healing of wounds. It works actively anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and has a great share of vitamin E. The Cupuaçu butter contained in DOCTOR DUVE BABIES & KIDS originates from a Cupuaçu project in support of the people living in the areas of cultivation.
Cotton Extract
Cotton has and is mostly cultivated for the extraction of textiles fibers. The stock from its root rind however has been traditionally used to alleviate cramps. The cotton seed contains valuable ingredients as well. Its watery extract is rich in proteins, poly-saccharides (multi-sugar) and vitamins of group B. It dispenses long-lasting moisture and relieves irritation and redness.
Additional natural ingredients.
Bisabolol
The Candeia tree is among the traditional medicinal plants of Brazil. The particularly rich Bisabolol oil extracted from its rind relieves skin irritations and soothes. The Bisabolol oil used for DOCTOR DUVE BABIES & KIDS originates from crops in sustainable cultivation.
Calendula
or marigold is a frequently used medicinal plant in European naturopathy. It is considered particularly moisturizing, works anti-irritating and supports the regeneration of the skin. Its flavoides protect from free radicals.
Jojoba oil
is the classical medicinal plant of North-American Indians. It is extracted from the fruits of the Jojoba tree. Because it can easily spread inside the top layer of the epidermis, it helps the skin to retain moisture and increase its elasticity. Additionally, jojoba oil works anti-inflammatory.
Chamomille
Its blossoms have always been used to sooth irritated, inflamed skin immediately and effectively. Chamomile also has an anti-bacterial and deodorant effect and supports the healing of wounds.
Candle Tree (Cassia Didymobotrya)
The origin of the candle tree is in South America where its extracts are commonly used for the treatment of infections. Candle tree protects the DNA of skin cells – that of the mitochondrions as well as that of the cell core – from UV-induced mutation. It stimulates the repair of already existing DNA damage and prevents damages to the genetic material of cells caused by light.
Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide, a chemical compound of zinc and oxygen, is a proven remedy for skin and wound treatment in child care. It works anti-septic, anti-irritating and soothing.
