Since every natural substance has a scent, even if it is so minimal that a sensitive nose would also have difficulty in sensing it, no natural product can be fragrance-free. All products in the Prof. Dr. Steinkraus range are free from synthetic fragrances, with the exception of the Body Lotion. Our Body Lotion has a very subtle citrus scent.
All our products are vegan except lip care, sun protect and body lotion. These products contain beeswax, which is unparalleled due to its excellent nourishing properties for transitional layers if the skin such as the lips.

Some of our customers dilute the vitamin C concentrate more so that they can extensively apply the serum to the décolletage and neck in addition to the face. In order to accommodate this wish, the pump bottle contains much more activating liquid than is actually needed. If there is any liquid left, you can purchase a refill containing 4 vials with 7 beads each.
No. The Prof. Dr. Steinkraus range is free from sunscreens. Care products should not contain them as standard, because it would unnecessarily burden the skin with chemicals. If you spend time outside, you should also protect yourself with a broad-spectrum SPF that matches your skin type and skin sensitivity and provides protection against both UVB and UVA rays. If you only spend time inside behind windows or in the car behind the windscreen, then you only need UVA protection rather than UVB protection. In terms of the order in which they are applied, the skincare should generally be applied first, followed by the sunscreen.
Yes. All products in the Prof. Dr. Steinkraus range are also suitable for sensitive skin.

Due to the high concentration of the active ingredient and the crystalline character of the niacinamide, harmless white streaks may appear on the skin after the active ingredient has dried, depending on the amount of product applied. By subsequently applying and working in hyaluron and/or a care cream (Face Care Light, Medium or Rich), these streaks disappear immediately.
