Pampering oils in PURE


Cleansing with oil
The finest natural oils not only moisturize, but also act as a kind of natural "solvent." REINE binds and absorbs the natural oils of UND GRETEL makeup products, as well as dirt and sebum.
The cleansing oil can then be ideally washed off with the lukewarm moistened CLEANING CLOTH made of 100% organic cotton.
Facial cleansing
If you haven't yet added natural oils to your top ten list of cosmetic heroes, the best time to do so is now. It's never too late to combine superb facial cleansing, skin care, protection, healing, and anti-aging benefits in just one product! This X-in-1 effect makes REINE Skin Cleansing Oil virtually indispensable. UND GRETEL's Natural Cleansing Oil is therefore so popular because it does much more than just gently and nourishingly remove sebum residue, makeup, and environmental pollution.
To cleanse your face, lightly distribute the oil in the palm of your hand and massage it into your skin using circular motions. Then remove it with the Cleansing Cloth and lukewarm water. Your skin will be awe-inspiring afterward: It's soft, smooth, clean, and supple. And because the cleansing oil is formulated so gently, it can even remove mascara and eye makeup. The Cleansing Cloth is made of organic cotton and can be purchased as part of a set or as a standalone product for thorough facial cleansing.
Gentle facial cleansing with REINE – what’s in it?
Rosehip seed oil , also known as wild rose oil or rosehip seed oil, is a remarkable natural product with numerous benefits for facial cleansing. The oil is extracted from the seeds of the rosehip fruit and is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids that help maintain the skin barrier. One outstanding property of the oil is its ability to stimulate skin regeneration even during facial cleansing. Fatty acids such as omega-3, 6 and 9 support the formation of new skin cells. They also contribute to the repair of scars, stretch marks and blemishes. As a natural antioxidant, rosehip seed oil protects against aggressively damaging free radicals, which means that facial cleansing with wild rosehip oil counteracts premature skin aging. Rich in vitamin A, it is essential for skin regeneration and the cell renewal process, which reduces the appearance of scars and fine lines. The oil intensively hydrates deep within the skin, improving skin texture and giving a radiant complexion. Studies suggest that rosehip seed oil may even be helpful in treating skin conditions like eczema and acne. Its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties may help relieve the symptoms of these conditions. Even during gentle facial cleansing, the oil in PURE helps moisturize and regenerate the skin, inhibits inflammation, and slows down premature aging processes—keeping skin healthy and looking its best.
Lavender oil , extracted from the flowers of the Lavandula species, also has a variety of scientifically proven benefits for skin health. It is rich in bioactive compounds such as linalool, linalyl acetate, and camphor, which give it skin-conditioning properties. Its name alone suggests that it is ideal for intensive facial cleansing for all skin types: Lavender comes from the Latin "lavare" ("to wash"). As an additive in the natural cosmetic facial cleanser REINE, the essential plant oil has a particularly soothing effect. It can therefore even be used for redness, itching, and minor burns, and can help relieve rashes and eczema. The antibacterial and antiseptic properties of lavender oil are effective defenses in the fight against acne and other skin imperfections. This makes the oil ideal as an element in facial cleansing for impure skin. Additionally, antimicrobial properties inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms on the skin: Dermatological studies have shown that lavender oil is effective against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes, which are associated with acne. The plant's oil also promotes skin cell regeneration and can improve the appearance of scars, pimples, and minor wounds. Finally, lavender oil itself plays a role in wound healing. Its regenerative properties promote the growth of new skin cells and aid in the formation of collagen fibers—crucial for tissue repair. The relaxing oil also neutralizes free radicals that promote premature skin aging. Another reason why REINE facial cleanser is a good choice at any age.
The skincare properties of grape seed oil are equally impressive. In PURE, it ensures, among other things, clear skin by regulating the sebaceous glands, reducing excess oil, and unclogging pores. This makes it a powerhouse in cleansing blemished skin. Its light texture makes it an excellent source of moisture; it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling, leaving skin naturally radiant, supple, and hydrated. Rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E and proanthocyanidins, it creates a protective shield against free radicals and supports collagen production. Grape seed oil also boasts skin-tightening properties.
Grape seed oil soothes skin irritation, redness, and inflammation, making it perfect as a facial cleanser for sensitive skin. Its linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, can help maintain the skin's barrier function and regulate moisture levels. Its high concentration of antioxidant compounds such as procyanidins, polyphenols, and vitamin E protects against premature skin aging, promotes collagen production, and preserves skin elasticity during facial cleansing. Studies have shown that grape seed oil may also be helpful in wound healing and the treatment of scarring, possibly due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Whether you have dry or oily skin, sensitive or aging skin, the oil also has the added benefit of soothing even blemished skin as a facial cleanser. In summary, grape seed oil is an essential ingredient in facial cleansing due to its many bioactive compounds. It can help support skin health, minimize environmental damage, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Healing extracts with welcome side effects
The marigold extract (Calendula officinalis) contained in REINE also delivers a host of positive effects during facial cleansing. Carotenoids, particularly lutein and β-carotene, are powerful antioxidants that can help protect the skin from environmental oxidative stress, which is known to be responsible for premature skin aging, early wrinkle formation, and other deep-tissue damage. Flavonoids such as quercetin and rutin, as well as triterpene saponins, counteract inflammatory processes in the skin. Therefore, the marigold extract in REINE as a facial cleanser soothes combination skin as well as irritated skin, eczema, and other inflammatory conditions. The calendula effect during facial cleansing accelerates the healing process of injuries, stimulates collagen renewal, and the formation of new tissue. At the same time, it inhibits bacterial growth, which can be useful in the prevention and treatment of skin infections. Calendula extract promotes skin renewal, can support cell regeneration, and thus improve the appearance of scars and blemishes. Thanks to calendula extract, REINE is also the best facial cleanser for sensitive skin, as the ingredient soothes itching and skin irritations and is even suitable for baby skin. In summary, calendula has great potential for skin care due to its diverse healing properties. They regulate blood circulation in the skin and are said to have a blood-purifying effect—ideal for minor irritations and skin blemishes.
Finally, the essential oil in rosemary extract has primarily antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Rosemary oil can also neutralize the skin's pH and promote blood circulation. It contains compounds such as carnosol, carnosic acid, and rosmarinic acid, which have antioxidant properties. Rosemary can also help reduce inflammatory reactions in the skin, making it ideal for gently cleansing blemished skin. Studies also suggest that rosemary oil may promote collagen synthesis in the skin. Collagen, as an important structural protein, ensures skin elasticity and firmness.
Facial cleansing with oil – gentle and sustainably healthy skin
Since UND GRETEL uses all essential oils and extracts in its REINE facial cleansing product as a cocktail of active ingredients, their use directly on the skin is prohibited. Almost any plant oil, for example, can irritate the skin when applied alone or in concentrated form. Plant oils should always be subjected to a skin compatibility test before being used alone. Our REINE facial cleansing product is tested for excellent skin compatibility – a matter of course for a Cosmos Natural-certified natural cosmetic. We call it: uncompromising skin-loving.
