CRÈME VITALE™ - Ultimate Revitalizing Day Cream

Our products are made in The Netherlands, Europe.

We use organic ingredients wherever we can. If we could make a 100% organic formula we would have. However, it is not always possible to reach this.

Crème Vitale is 100% natural and 97% of the ingredients come from organic farming.

Organically farmed ingredients are cultivated using organic farming practices that promote soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. With that, these ingredients contain 12-16% more antioxidants than their non-organic counterparts¹, creating more skin results for you.

¹A meta-analysis published in the "British Journal of Nutrition" in 2014 analyzed 343 peer-reviewed publications comparing the nutritional quality of organic and conventional crops. The researchers found that organically grown crops had higher levels of certain antioxidants, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins.

Choosing natural and organic ingredients over synthetic ones is beneficial for several reasons. By opting for natural and organic skincare, you prioritize the health of your skin and support environmentally sustainable practices.

Nutrient-Rich: All the buzz ingredients in synthetic skincare, are all derived from natural sources. Natural ingredients are packed with ceramides, proteins, peptides, vitamins, fatty acids, polyphenols, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and more. Where synthetic ingredient often focus on only 1 property, natural ingredients contain a variety of benefits in each ingredient. Choosing a natural skincare with many natural ingredients, gives you a plethora of benefits in 1 product. We believe natural skincare is the basis of healthy skin.

Gentle on the Skin: Natural ingredients are typically less harsh and irritating compared to synthetic ones. They are less likely to strip the skin of its natural oils or cause adverse reactions, making them suitable for sensitive or delicate skin types.

Environmentally Friendly: Organic ingredients are cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, which can harm the environment and contribute to pollution. By choosing organic skincare, you support sustainable agricultural practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and conservation.

Safer Formulations: Synthetic ingredients may contain potentially harmful chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and artificial fragrances. These chemicals have been associated with various health concerns, including skin irritation, hormone disruption, and environmental pollution. Natural and organic skincare formulations avoid these harmful substances, offering safer alternatives for both your skin and the environment.

Ethical Considerations: Choosing natural and organic skincare aligns with ethical values such as animal welfare and sustainability. Many natural skincare brands, including us, are cruelty-free and refrain from testing on animals, while organic farming practices prioritize the well-being of animals and ecosystems.

Overall, opting for natural and organic skincare reflects a holistic approach to beauty and well-being, prioritizing the health of your skin, the welfare of animals, and the sustainability of the planet.

Synthetic skincare products often contain potent chemicals that can deliver immediate results, such as temporary tightening, brightening, or plumping of the skin. These quick fixes can create the appearance of smoother, more radiant skin in the short term.

However, while synthetic skincare may provide immediate results upon application, these effects may not necessarily translate into long-term benefits for skin health. Many synthetic ingredients work by temporarily altering the skin's surface or function, rather than addressing underlying skin concerns. Continuous use of synthetic skincare products may lead to dependency on these quick-fix solutions, as the skin becomes accustomed to the temporary effects.

Moreover, some synthetic ingredients may pose risks of irritation, sensitization, or other adverse reactions with prolonged use, especially for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin. Over time, repeated exposure to synthetic chemicals may disrupt the skin's natural balance and protective barrier, potentially leading to long-term damage or negative consequences.

In contrast, natural skincare products focus on nurturing and supporting the skin's inherent processes. Natural ingredients, derived from plants and botanicals, are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that promote skin health from within. While the results of natural skincare may be more gradual compared to synthetic alternatives, they tend to be more sustainable and holistic, offering long-term benefits for skin health and vitality.

Therefore, while synthetic skincare may provide quick fixes, the long-term efficacy and sustainability of natural skincare make it a preferred choice for individuals seeking comprehensive skin care solutions that prioritize both short-term and long-term skin health.

Premium quality: Our products are priced to reflect the premium value and quality our customers receive with the quality of ingredients and ethical standards we uphold. Our products are crafted with a meticulous selection of natural and organic ingredients, which are often more expensive to source and cultivate compared to synthetic alternatives. Organic farming practices require more labor-intensive methods and adhere to strict standards and certifications, contributing to higher production costs. Additionally, the quality and purity of natural ingredients contribute to the effectiveness in delivering skincare benefits.

Premium materials: Moreover, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond ingredient sourcing to our packaging materials.
