How to recognise good care products
- The ingredients list: The shorter and clearer it is, the easier it is to see what you’re putting on your skin. hello simple lists six ingredients for its Lime-Cypress deodorant cream.
- Named seals: Each seal applies to what it stands for: the V-Label to vegan products, and Fairtrade to fair trade in the ingredients it identifies. Taiga Transparency shows what each seal covers and what it does not on the product page, along with the source of the information.
Our brands: why we choose them
When selecting our brands, we look at materials, origin and production. We stock Fair Squared from Cologne for creams and facial toners; according to Fair Squared, the green tea in its Facial Tonic comes from India. According to its own information, I+M produces everything in Germany, mostly in Brandenburg; for the Regenerating Facial Oil, we checked the COSMOS ORGANIC seal in the certifier’s register. According to its own information, hello simple produces in Berlin and Cologne, with the deodorant cream made in Cologne. According to Dr. Bronner's, all its main ingredients come from fair trade. Weleda stands for hair oil and hair tonic. Lamazuna stands for solid facial cleansers without a bottle, while Hydrophil stands for bamboo toothbrushes.
A routine you can stick to
A routine consists of cleansing, care and protection. Start with Body Care using soap or shower gel, add a lotion and, in summer, sun protection, then include facial care for morning and evening and keep hair care simple, for example with Weleda hair oil. Fewer products that you actually use up are better than a full shelf.
In what order should you apply facial care?
From lightest to richest: start with cleansing, followed by water-based products such as facial toner, and then cream. During the day, sun protection comes last.
What is the difference between solid and liquid soap?
Solid soap does not need a bottle. Liquid soap is more convenient to dispense and comes in large refill bottles.
How long does a deodorant cream last?
hello simple states that one pack of its Lime-Cypress deodorant cream lasts three to four months.
