With Thermal spring water from Baden-Baden. Thermal spring water from Baden-Baden qualifies as healing water in accordance with the 2005 edition of "Definitions – quality standards for the classification of health resorts, resort towns and curative sources" published by the German Spa Association and the German Tourism Association. The water is used therapeutically in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems. The spring is located 300 m north-east of the centre of Baden-Baden. It is classified as a thermal spring because its source temperature is 65°C. This thermal spring water is naturally rich in important minerals and trace elements (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, silicic acid (silicon), chlorides and fluorides). It supports the natural metabolism and health of the skin.

Without mineral oils. Mineral oils are odorless and purified oils which have been used in cosmetics for many years due to the fact that they seldom cause allergies or skin irritations. While plant oils are similar to the natural lipids of skin and therefore penetrate into the upper layer of skin, mineral oils remain on skin’s surface where they develop their protective effect. Sans Soucis does not use any mineral oils in their products. 

Without parabens. Parabens are preservatives have been used in cosmetics for many years and efficiently protect them against germs. However, they are suspected to cause allergies. Principally, parabens are listed as ingredients in cosmetics on the positive list, meaning that their utilization is allowed.  Sensitive skin may, however, react with intolerances. Additional critical factor: The structure of parabens is very similar to the female sexual hormone estrogen, they are absorbed via the skin and are suspected to trouble the hormonal balance. Sans Soucis does not use any parabens in their products. 

Without microplastics. Microplastic are small plastic particles with a diameter of less than 5mm. Their use in skin creams, peelings, shower gels and shampoos pose risks to the environment and water. Sans Soucis does not use microplastic particles in its products. Sans Soucis dispenses with the use of microplastic in its products.

Without silicones. There are different opinions regarding silicone oil. It has both advantages and disadvantages.  Silicone oil forms a water-repellent film on skin’s surface which protects against moisture loss.  Allergic reactions to this substance have not been reported.  Silicone oils last forever, fix fragrances on skin and do not feel greasy. But: If there is too much silicone oil in a cream, the sweat may be blocked, the skin under the film may swell and become brittle.  Therefore, the concentration to be used must be selected very carefully. Sans Soucis does not use any silicones in this product.
