Manufactum sauna infusion

Orange-Ginger. A stimulating and invigorating infusion.

When the hot stones of the sauna heater come in contact with water resulting in a powerful infusion, the infusion does not increase the sweating effect. Still, the water vapour condensing on the skin creates the feeling. This steam called löyly (= glowing breath) in Finnish is distributed in the sauna room by waving a towel. In Finland, they use clear water; however, at our latitudes, it is common to add essences to the water, which enrich the sauna experience with a fragrant scent. The spectrum of these essences is vast, and you find some with stimulating and some with calming effects. We have two rather invigorating sauna infusions made from natural essential oils only.

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.
