The Calming Cream is specially designed to reduce skin irritations and redness. It is ideal for relieving symptoms of red skin irritations. The cream is suitable for use on both the face and body, especially on areas prone to irritation or where the skin is red and inflamed. It provides immediate relief and supports skin recovery by strengthening the skin barrier and hydrating the skin.
The Calming Cream works effectively thanks to a unique combination of calming and moisturizing ingredients such as Ectoin, Avena Sativa (Oat) Extract, and Marshmallow Root. Ectoin protects skin cells from stress and helps restore the skin barrier, while Avena Sativa Extract and Marshmallow Root have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that reduce redness and irritation. Together, these ingredients strengthen the skin’s natural protection, soothe inflammation and promote healthy recovery, leaving the skin feeling calmer and less sensitive.
The Calming Cream is suitable for people with sensitive skin that is prone to irritations, redness and inflammation. It is particularly useful for those who suffer from skin irritations or after dermatological treatments such as microneedling, peelings and laser. In addition, it is also an excellent choice for anyone looking for a soothing product that protects and helps the skin recover after exposure to stressors such as extreme weather conditions, allergens or dermatological treatments. The cream is unscented and contains no irritants, making it safe for daily use, even on the most sensitive skin.

(Active) ingredients
Marshmallow root, scientifically known as Althaea officinalis, is a plant whose name comes from the Greek: “Althaia,” meaning “medicinal.” The term “officinalis” refers to the use of the plant in pharmacies, which emphasizes its value in traditional medicine. In the Netherlands this plant is known as marshmallow leaf. Marshmallow root is best known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, making it particularly effective in the external treatment of irritated skin. The active ingredients, such as mucilages, help soften the skin and reduce irritation by forming a protective layer that prevents further irritation. As a result, Marshmallow root supports the recovery of the skin and helps to soothe inflammatory reactions.
Ectoin is a natural molecule produced by halophilic microorganisms, which survive in extreme environments such as salt lakes. It has strong cell-protective properties, which makes it particularly valuable in skin care. Ectoin works by stabilizing cell membranes and proteins, thereby protecting skin cells against harmful external influences such as UV radiation, pollution, and dehydration. In addition, Ectoin helps strengthen the skin barrier, which is essential for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. It also soothes inflammation and reduces redness, making it an ideal ingredient for treating sensitive or irritated skin. Thanks to these properties, Ectoin helps protect and repair the skin, while promoting overall skin health.
Avena Sativa, better known as oats, is a versatile ingredient rich in fatty acids, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. In skin care, Avena Sativa is mainly used for its soothing and calming properties, which are effective in reducing irritation, itching and redness. Its main active ingredients, such as avenanthramides, are powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation and protect the skin from free radical damage. In addition, the beta-glucans in oats help hydrate and restore the skin barrier, which is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Avena Sativa is particularly suitable for the care of sensitive and reactive skin, thanks to its ability to soothe the skin and strengthen its natural barrier function.
