With almost 250 items, it's worth checking out our five subcategories rather than clicking through the entire list. In Shower & Bath Care you'll find shower gels, shower fluffs, and Aleppo soaps for daily cleansing. Peeling & Firming bundles body scrubs and firming care for your weekly routine, while Moisturizing Care gathers body lotions, body butters, and body whips for a daily moisture boost. Hand & Foot Care is specifically about stressed hands and feet, and Body Oils & Massage covers care oils as well as products for relaxing massage. Using the brand filter, you can also filter specifically for brands such as Puremetics, avril, or Bioderma if you're looking for a particular direction.

The basic building block is daily cleansing with a mild shower gel or a soap from our Shower & Bath Care category, ideally showering lukewarm rather than hot to protect the skin barrier. Once or twice a week, a body scrub from Peeling & Firming is also worthwhile, to remove dead skin flakes and improve absorption of subsequent care. Right after showering, while the skin is still slightly damp, a body lotion or body butter from Moisturizing Care absorbs especially well. Hands and feet benefit from additional, targeted care from Hand & Foot Care due to frequent washing and footwear, while body oils from Body Oils & Massage are especially suited to relaxing use in the evening or for a massage. If you like, you can combine body oil and lotion depending on the season, often richer in winter, lighter in summer.

Yes, even in a wide selection: brands such as Puremetics, avril, CMD Naturkosmetik, Uoga Uoga, and Mossa consistently rely on certified organic ingredients, avoid mineral oils and synthetic fragrances, and clearly label their products with terms like 'organic' or 'vegan' in the product name or on the product page. With Puremetics in particular, you'll also find handmade products in small batches, such as the shower fluffs or body whips, which avoid industrial additives. Natural soaps such as the Aleppo soaps are traditionally produced according to centuries-old methods with olive and laurel oil, which many customers appreciate for the long tradition and manageable ingredient list. If a watertight certification matters to you, the most reliable approach is to look for seals such as Cosmos Organic or Ecocert directly on the product page, rather than relying on the brand name alone.

The most reliable source is always the INCI list on the relevant product page, where the complete composition is listed, whether it's natural cosmetics or a classic product. With natural cosmetics brands such as Puremetics or avril, the organic percentage and the base oils used, such as almond, coconut, or olive oil, are also frequently stated directly in the product description. With dermocosmetic brands such as Bioderma or Eucerin, you'll often find additional information about pH value and special active ingredients such as ceramides or urea, specifically tailored to very dry or sensitive skin. If you have known fragrance allergies or sensitive skin, it's especially worth checking the INCI list before buying, since body care products have more skin contact due to large-area application than many facial products.

For very dry skin or skin prone to eczema and neurodermatitis, it's first worth looking at dermocosmetic brands such as Bioderma, Eucerin, or La Roche-Posay, whose body lotions frequently contain specifically replenishing active ingredients such as ceramides or urea and were developed in collaboration with dermatologists. Even within natural cosmetics there are sensitive lines, such as Puremetics's 'Sensibelchen' series with body butter, facial oil, and deodorant cream specifically for sensitive skin, which deliberately avoids fragrances and irritants. As a general rule with any new product: test it first on a small area of skin such as the crook of your arm before applying it over a larger area of the body, since even products marketed as mild can trigger individual reactions. For persistent skin problems such as severe itching or eczema flare-ups, we also recommend consulting a dermatologist rather than relying on cosmetic products alone.

Sun protection for the body is especially crucial in summer, at the beach, or during outdoor sports activities, to avoid premature skin aging and long-term skin damage. For the body, sprays such as the Non Stop Body Spray SPF 50 are often more practical than creams, since they spread faster and more evenly over large areas. Apply sun protection at least 20 to 30 minutes before sunbathing and reapply regularly during longer time outdoors as well as after swimming or heavy sweating, even with water-resistant formulas. After sunbathing, a soothing after-sun product helps calm the skin and provide moisture, especially if it's slightly reddened or irritated from the sun. Also remember frequently forgotten spots such as ears, neck, and the tops of the feet, which are just as prone to sunburn as more exposed body areas.

Classic antiperspirants usually contain aluminum salts, which temporarily narrow the sweat pores and thereby noticeably reduce the amount of sweat, which is especially desired with heavy sweating. Natural cosmetics deodorants such as Puremetics's deo sticks or deo cream, by contrast, deliberately avoid aluminum salts and instead rely on natural, odor-binding ingredients such as baking soda, coconut oil, or essential oils, which reduce sweat odor without suppressing sweat production itself. This means: with a natural cosmetics deodorant, you still sweat normally, but smell noticeably less strong, which many customers find more pleasant. For sensitive skin, such as right after shaving, natural cosmetics deodorants without aluminum and alcohol are often the better-tolerated choice, while classic antiperspirants offer more reliable effectiveness for especially heavy sweating. Which variant suits you better is ultimately a question of personal priority between maximum sweat reduction and as natural a formulation as possible.

Natural cosmetics and artisan brands such as Puremetics, avril, CMD Naturkosmetik, and Uoga Uoga stand out through certified organic raw materials, often handmade production in small batches, and a manageable, transparent ingredient list. Dermocosmetic brands such as Bioderma, Eucerin, and La Roche-Posay, by contrast, score points with clinically tested formulas for very dry, sensitive, or medically stressed skin and are frequently recommended by dermatologists. We also carry established beauty and spa brands for a somewhat more luxurious body care routine with high-quality textures and more elaborate formulas. Which direction suits you best depends on whether certified natural cosmetics, medically tested effectiveness for specific skin problems, or a special care experience matters most to you, here too, combining different brands within your own routine is entirely common.
