Manufactum bath oil

Lavender. The habit of putting lavender in the bathwater dates back far into foretimes. In ancient Rome, wealthy citizens enjoyed the fragrance in the bath. This balancing and relaxing bath oil carries the scent in a much more concentrated form: the contained essential oil was extracted by steam distillation from plants of the best provenance. Skin caring bath oil with essential lavender oil (10%) and Turkey red oil as base oil. Add a few capfuls to the bathwater and suit your convenience. Recommended bathing time approx. 15-20 minutes.

Oil baths increase the well-being and care for the skin. The ubiquitous foam contributes nothing for the skin; we, therefore, decided on the proven Turkish red oil as a basis for our bath oils. While skipping the foam, the oils combine cleansing capacity with skin-caring and refatting properties. Each oil carries a distinctive scent thanks to a ten per cent share of a selected natural essential oil. Our bath oils do not contain any colourants, which is why the lavender bath oil does not feature a purple colouration and the bath oils with spruce needle and rosemary oil, respectively, come colourless as well.

We have developed a body care series according to our specifications and are cooperating for this project with two pharmacists from North Rhine-Westphalia. Based on well-thought-out recipes, all products of the series comply with our maxim: reduced to the essentials. Our partners see to it that the products of our series solely contain what serves the particular purpose. Moreover, although they are no pharmaceutical preparations, most of their ingredients – somewhat unusual for body care products – are of pharmacopoeia quality according to the current German and European Pharmacopoeia; both officinal collections set high standards in terms of purity, enrichment and freshness. Our range of products is small but well-considered, and we add only a few articles each year. Partly, the formulations derive from old officinal formulae and antiquarian pharmacopoeias; partly, we present new in-house developments based on proven elements and compounds. We attach great importance to natural ingredients and therefore completely dispense with petrochemical-based raw materials as well as synthetic fragrances, dyes and preservatives.
