"I
don't put anything on my skin that I can't eat", said Annemarie Lindner,
the founder of Annemarie Borlind when she received the Natural Legacy Award, in
New York on 20 September 2005. This award recognizes her life's work as a pioneer
of natural cosmetics. Annemarie Borlind
products are safe for anyone to use for the following reasons: First,
Annemarie Borlind products are made from natural, active ingredients that are
good for our skin - the majority of which are obtained from organic sources. Second,
Annemarie Borlind products use absolutely no substances or extracts whatsoever
which originate either partially or totally from animals. For example, - Collagen
which helps improve the skin's elasticity, is derived from unborn embryos. On
the other hand, Annemarie Borlind uses Aosain - an algae extract that improves
the skin's elasticity even more effectively than the collagen.
- Hyaluronic
Acid (one of the best ingredients for moisturizing) is commonly derived from the
red combs of roosters. Annemarie Borlind obtains this acid through the fermentation
process (like yoghurt).
- Squalene
(helps to make smooth cream) is commonly derived from sharks. Annemarie Borlind
derives it from olive oil.
Third,
Annemarie Borlind uses only substances of natural origin to preserve products;
no didromodicyanobutan and no chlorhexidin. Fourth,
all Annemarie Borlind products pass the strict testing by Neuform, which ensures
that the products do not contain any harmful chemicals or artificial ingredients.
Neuform is an independent testing program for natural and organic products, set
up by German Reformhauses health food association to ensure that the products
meet the strict quality guidelines before they are allowed to be sold in the Reformhauses. |
