Manufactum shower gel

Bergamot. Shower gel with mild, plant-based surfactants and an amount of pure essential bergamot oil. With its fresh, lemony and flowery-warm scent, bergamot is a real mood enhancer. You find proof of the use of its essential oil from the late 17th century. We have the oil produced by cold pressing the fruit peel.

Strictly speaking, a shower gel does not need any fragrances to cleanse the body – nevertheless, there are many arguments in favour of adding a scent in the form of pure essential oil.  It is not without reason that natural skin and beauty care has relied on these multi-component combinations created by nature for thousands of years. With their distinct fragrance, essential oils support the purpose of the respective shower gel. For this reason, we have enriched our shower gels with one pure essential oil each. The oils come in an unusually high concentration – like all raw materials for Manufactum body care products, they are residue-controlled and of the best quality. The shower gels, suitable for daily use, gently cleanse the skin with mild, exclusively plant-based surfactants.

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.
