Warm cinematic film of light moving over skin, the opening frame of Body Intelligence

    Body Intelligence

    Your body knows. Are you listening?

    We spend a great deal telling our bodies what to do. Almost nobody asks what they are already doing.

    Three questions

    1. Did you know that many moisturisers are mostly water?
    2. Did you know that sweat normally does not smell?
    3. And why does skin ask for cream right after a lovely shower?

    These three questions are connected.

    The three laws of Body Intelligence

    1. Your body knows.

      It regulates, repairs and renews itself.

    2. Your body speaks.

      A signal is information — not an instruction.

    3. Your body is one.

      Where you see a signal is not necessarily where the story began.

    The signal is real.The interpretation is learned.

    Observation is not diagnosis.

    • TiredCoffee

      The body said: tired. We answered: don’t be tired.

    • Tight after the showerLotion

      Maybe the skin is commenting on the first product.

    • Underarm odourStop the sweat

      The odour often only comes from microorganisms.

    • Aftershave burns“It’s working.”

    Ask why. Then ask why again.

    Curious where this why has led us?

    One body. Four inputs.

    Interference comes from four directions. The three questions show where you can reduce it most easily.

    Tap an area.

    Where do you start?

    1. 01Do you repeat it every day?
    2. 02Do you choose it yourself?
    3. 03Could you easily change it today?

    The old question

    What am I missing?

    The new question

    What is drowning me out?

    The More-Machine

    Body Intelligence vs. unnecessary interference.

    An overflowing shelf of care products beside one jar on a stone plinth
    • More products
    • More actives
    • More correction
    • More interference
    • Understand
    • Simplify
    • Support
    • Allow

    Not: never intervene. Not: every ingredient is bad. But: look for the unnecessary interference first.

    Replace, don’t add

    You don’t stop the More-Machine with one more product.

    You don’t have to change everything. Just what you already do every day.

    Our answer

    UNDILUTED INTELLIGENCE™

    Our standard

    Nothing that throws your body off balance.

    An open jar of dense balm, made without water
    • No added water
    • No fillers
    • No waxes
    • No water, so no preservative system needed

    And the first question? That’s why there is no added water.

    The philosophy forced us to invent.

    “If we had only left out the bad stuff and added a few natural oils, there would be nothing to patent.”

    — Dr. Tobias Ihde & Annette Garcea

    A patent came out of it (granted in the US, pending in the EU)
