In many lavera products, we use high-quality essential oils that transform your daily beauty routine into a feel-good experience. Our expert Dr. Neuhoff explains in an interview what makes our natural fragrances so special. We also clarify how essential oils and other natural fragrances are produced.
Dr. Neuhoff: Natural fragrances are, as the name suggests, of purely natural origin. They come from plants, flowers, fruits, or woods – and often even from sustainable cultivation, frequently organic-certified. That means: pure nature. The extraction of these valuable fragrances is usually particularly gentle, for example through cold pressing, extraction, or distillation. This not only protects the ingredients but also the environment, because no aggressive chemicals or energy-intensive processes are used. Permitted fragrances in certified* natural cosmetics: - Essential oils
* NATRUE und Cosmos standard
- Plant extracts
- Natural aromatic substances
Dr. Neuhoff: Natural fragrances are authentic and provide a fine, complex, and above all pure fragrance experience. Each individual ingredient brings its own natural note – whether as a top note, heart note, or base note. The result is a fragrance profile that is lively, multi-layered, and never artificial.
Frau Dr. Neuhoff: They can be nourishing, calming, or even anti-inflammatory – like chamomile, rose, or lavender. Some essential oils have antibacterial properties and thus support deodorant effectiveness, for example. It's also scientifically proven that essential oils can have aromatherapeutic effects. They can be mood-lifting, reduce stress, and contribute to relaxation – genuine mood enhancement from nature. Fragrances often awaken childhood memories, trigger emotional feelings, and enrich our sensory perceptions. They give us small wellness moments in everyday life and lift our spirits.
Dr. Neuhoff: Our entire product range is certified as natural cosmetics – either according to NATRUE or Cosmos standards. These natural cosmetics certifications only allow the use of natural ingredients like essential oils, plant extracts, and natural aromatic substances as they occur in nature. Synthetic fragrances are not an option for us. When selecting fragrance components, we pay particular attention to ensuring they form a harmonious unity. The fragrances are responsibly dosed and precisely tailored to the respective application. This creates compositions that not only smell pleasant but also care for skin and senses – always in harmony with people and nature.
A certain fragrance triggers memories and feelings in you? No wonder: Synthetic or natural fragrances are directly connected to intense sensory perceptions, because nothing is as closely linked to emotional feelings as our sense of smell. We owe this to the so-called olfactory system (also known as the smell system). This complex system consists of receptors, nerve cells, and brain regions that perceive the corresponding scents and link them with emotions for us.
As Dr. Neuhoff already explained, essential oils can have aromatherapeutic effects. We explain which fragrance has which effect. The plant fragrances in lavera products, such as essential oils and hydrolates from natural sources or plant extracts, can have stimulating, invigorating, mood-lifting, or activating effects. But natural fragrances can also contribute to intensive relaxation. Through their balancing and calming effect on body and senses, they can reduce stress – an ideal wellness moment with distinctive sensory perceptions.
