Wax and resins in our products
For our Alpine cosmetics, we use fir resin from wild collection in the Frutigen Valley. Fir resin has antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties, and binds free radicals. Its wound-healing, circulation-promoting, and astringent properties are well known. It is used for cuts, skin abrasions, "sprouts," rough and chapped skin, chapped skin, and skin irritations.
We use fir resin in our foot balm and in the hemp Chnübi.
Our beeswax comes from honeybees in the Bernese Oberland. Natural and unbleached, this wax retains its beautiful yellow color and pleasant, warm honey scent. It is very kind to skin and serves as a natural thickener and preservative in our hand balm, foot balm, Hemp Chnübi, and lip balm. Beeswax adds shine and suppleness to our Alpine natural cosmetics products.
Honey is a tried and tested household remedy and has become an indispensable part of the cosmetics industry.
The valuable ingredients in honey act as a natural moisturizer, promoting skin cell regeneration and thus lending elasticity. We use this high-quality raw material in our Vogellisi balm and Bärgmüntschi.
Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees to seal and disinfect the cracks in their nests. It acts as a resinous cement. This property can be used in cosmetics to heal cracked and dry skin. The propolis for our Hemp Chnübi comes from honey bees in the Bernese Oberland.
