Natural facial oil for every skin type
Oils from plant substances have been used in cosmetics for thousands of years. Whether pure or as an additional active ingredient in a daily moisturizer, because facial oils are so similar to natural skin fats, they are not only an essential base for many facial creams. Even when applied pure, they always release a potpourri of nourishing substances and better absorb them. High-quality oils like those used in MINNE facial oil are particularly well-tolerated. Whether your skin is dry or mature, oily, sensitive, normal, or combination: this natural facial oil provides protection and optimal moisture content. MINNE's regenerative, plant-based active ingredients can prevent skin aging or reduce existing signs such as wrinkles. Baobab oil and the particularly cosmetically valuable Inca nut oil, among others, nourish the skin in this luxurious organic facial oil. The result: a permanently well-cared-for and healthy appearance. However, a nourishing and moisturizing treatment like ZART should be used alongside the facial oil, as oils don't bind moisture sustainably. The third care product in the skin protection range is AMIE , an eye cream specially developed for the specific skin texture and needs of this part of the face.
The best facial oil relies on the power of nature
Almost 100% of the oils combined in the natural cosmetics facial oil MINNE are organically farmed and obtained using gentle extraction processes. This is particularly important to UND GRETEL, as a fully certified natural cosmetics brand. All oils and fats bind to substances from the environment – such as toxins. Conventional agriculture uses artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or pesticides for its crops, which can bind to the oils produced during the cold-pressing process. This is how they end up in the cosmetic facial oil. Organic oil, on the other hand, comes from farms that avoid the use of harmful fertilizers and similar substances. Plant oils produced in this way can largely be considered safe. Since it is a natural product, one more note: The facial oil MINNE should be shaken well before each use and stored at room temperature, away from light.

Inca Inchi oil brings more omega-3 fatty acids to the active ingredient cocktail than any other plant. The rapidly absorbed oil from the Inca peanut is also rich in vitamin E, which, combined with the aforementioned fatty acids, can reduce inflammation and skin irritation. It can even improve the appearance of skin conditions. The plant oil demonstrates its moisturizing properties, especially on skin prone to dryness: It has a highly moisturizing effect in facial oil, making it perfect for anti-aging. The cosmetic properties of Inca Inchi oil:
- cares for inflamed and dry skin
- has a strong cell-regenerating effect
- stimulates cell activities
- optimizes skin metabolism and skin elasticity
- ideal for mature skin
- regulates keratinization

Coffea Arabica Seed Oil , or coffee seed oil, contains cosmetically valuable fatty acids such as linoleic acid, polyphenols, and phytosterols. Linoleic acid is an omega-6 acid that also occurs naturally in the lipid layer of skin cells. A decrease in linoleic acid concentration as a result of aging can negatively impact the skin's protective barrier. Coffee seed oil in the firming facial oil can restore barrier integrity and also moisturize the skin. A high antioxidant content also keeps free radicals at bay and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In MINNE, it nourishes the skin and promotes a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. The cosmetic effects of coffee seed oil:
- nourishes and firms
- has a strong smoothing effect
- increases skin moisture and improves skin elasticity
- reduces skin redness
- reduces wrinkles
Other active ingredients include sunflower oil, vitamin E, and camelina oil. The latter comes from the seeds of one of Europe's oldest cultivated plants and is usually cold-pressed. It has a delicate nutty aroma and contributes valuable cosmetic ingredients. The oil owes many of its beneficial properties to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids. These have anti-inflammatory effects, making their use in a facial oil for impure skin particularly beneficial. Vitamin E, also present in abundance, is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin regenerate, protects it from free radicals, and thus from skin aging. It is also found in plum kernel oil, which is also rich in fatty acids and has both moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties for the skin, thus contributing to its optimal overall condition. Finally, sunflower oil from ripe flower seeds, thanks to its high vitamin E content, supports the anti-inflammatory effect and protects the skin from premature aging. Youth-promoting vitamin E also protects skin lipids from oxidation, lecithin strengthens the skin's hydrolipid mantle, and a high linoleic acid content ensures that the light oil is easily absorbed into the face. Another cosmetic benefit of sunflower oil is its cell-regenerating properties.
And why are antioxidants so important for a good facial oil against wrinkles? Because the skin is constantly bombarded by free radicals, i.e. environmental factors like radiation, air pollution, or harmful chemicals. Antioxidants are extremely important for the skin, as it is exposed to these influences almost 24/7. Upon contact with the skin, the free radicals present trigger a chain reaction, creating free radicals in the body. They change the chemical structure of the important skin proteins collagen and elastin, which can lead to inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles, and infections such as acne or dark spots. Antioxidants in skin care products and food play a significant role in scavenging these free radicals. In this way, they can help reduce the visible signs of (skin) aging.
Skin types and the use of face oil
Facial oil for dry skin : Whether you're generally prone to dryness or are suffering from seasonal dryness, facial oil is perfect for providing your skin with the moisture it needs. It helps to optimally penetrate the skin's active ingredients and lock them in for longer.
Facial oil for oily skin : If your skin is prone to blemishes and an oily shine, apply the balancing facial oil directly after cleansing to slightly damp skin.
Facial oil for sensitive skin : A natural, fragrance-free facial oil like MINNE is perfect for sensitive skin prone to redness and reactions. Before applying it to the face, test it on an inconspicuous area of the body. If your skin does experience an allergic reaction, UND GRETEL's Happiness Guarantee applies.
Facial oil for combination skin : This most common skin type and condition is characterized by both dry patches and specific areas prone to increased sebum production. With its balancing blend of various oils and overall harmonizing effects, MINNE facial oil can provide moisture while simultaneously exerting a soothing effect on the skin.
