Primavera
Essential oil is not just essential oil. The Greek word „Aither“ refers to „volatile“ and is root of the word ethereal. An essential oil is therefore an oil which volatilises. Nothing more. Whether it is 100% vegetable or 100% synthetic can not be told from its name. To properly judge quality more information is needed. Those should be found on the bottle or on its label. Essential oils are categorised into pure natural, 100% natural, nature-identical and synthetic essential oils.
Pure natural means that the oil was derived only from the respective source plant. 100% natural are oils that were mixed from pure natural oils. Nature-identical oils again are oils that were reengineered artificially or mixed partly with vegetable oils. They have a vegetable prototype in nature. The oil of this plant is chemically fractionised and reproduced artificially afterwards. Nature-identical oils smell like their vegetable counterparts, but do not contain their variety of active agents. Pure natural essential oils can support the body's defence system and level changes in mood. Pure synthetic oils are built up from chemical fragrance modules.
Essential oils from Primavera are 100% pure natural. All raw materials come from either company-owned controlled organic farming acreage, from certified collection in the wild or from acreage controlled by Primavera. Essential oils from Priamvera meet the highest quality standards: they are unaltered, genuine and unspoiled. The oils are not blended with other or synthetic oils. Essential oils from Primavera only contain the oil of the stated original plant and hold no synthetic additives.
Primavera fragrance mixes are perfectly tailored combinations of different essential oils. Concentration-enhancing, inspiring, relaxing, vitalising, motivating, refreshing or strongly enlightening - there is a perfect fragrance mix for every mood at Primavera.

Who does not know this situation: for the partner, the friend, the mother-in-law or for the boss, one needs a present. But still there a three weeks to go. Enough time to find something without a hurry. Out of a sudden, it is only three days. Primavera has thought of this and arranged a variety of scented gift ideas for you - and not only for the mentioned occasions.

Fragrance stones are the best choice for every surrounding and give off you favourite scent. Fragrance stones do not need to be observed, in contrast to fragrance fountains and fragrance lamps. Car, cabinet, children's room or working place can be scented discreetly in this way. Fragrance stones do not smell by themselves. To do so, essential oils or fragrance mixes are dripped onto them. This scent is then slowly given off by the fragrance stone into its surrounding area.
Primavera fragrance stones are additionally very decorative. Delight your spouse with a fragrance stone „Angel“! He or she will know what you want to say with it. And do not forget a suitable fragrance for it. Generate with your favourite scents and fragrance stones a harmonic, fresh, relaxed or erotic atmosphere.
Fragrance lamps from Primavera are made from different materials like glass, metal, pottery or in combinations of them. All glazes used are food safe, which means they do not contain lead or cadmium.
To each fragrance lamp belongs a pot or basin which is filled with water. Into the water a few drops of essential oil are dripped. The tea candle below the basin heats up the fluid, leading to a slow evaporation of the essential oil. The selected favourite scent is dispersed in the whole room and therefore generates a enjoyable indoor climate. In the dark, the shadow play of the candle creates a relaxed atmosphere.
Electric fragrance lamps are the best choice for a quick and effective scenting of work and living areas. They do not require a lot of space, are powerful and are a stylish accessory. Essential oil mixed with water is put into a glass flask inside the electric fragrance lamp. Due to the heat, the fragrance essence evaporates slowly and steadily. Electric fragrance lamps with electric light bulbs set smooth and atmospheric light highlights.
Fragrance fountains do not only generate refreshing air humidity. They also clean the air and contribute to well-being by aromatising room air. Without a doubt they are a domestic accessory that attracts looks. Additionally, water is a effective element for a comfortable room climate. The gentle sound of running water relaxes, supports in mediation and can help to fall asleep. In many religions water is a synonym for life, the everlasting flow of energies and has a symbolically cleaning function.

Life leaves its traces. The visible signs are found on our skin, most articulated most likely in the face. This can not be avoided, but it can be manipulated. About one third of the visible changes in the human face rise from lifestyle. Unresolved stress, regular alcohol consumption and extensive smoking can be seen in the face, as well as active exercises in the fresh air, balanced nutrition and wilful joy of life. The older one gets, the longer the skin needs to regenerate. Fat production of sebaceous glands goes down, the skin accumulates less moisture and wrinkles show. Therefore, skin welcomes any help coming from care products.
Neroli is the name of an essential oil made from orange flowers, especially fro the flowers of the bitter orange. The Princess of Nerola perfumed in the 17th century not only herself with this expensive fragrance oil, but also delighted her entire surroundings and noble guests with it. From this moment, the wonderful, flavoursome oil was lovingly called Neroli. Neroli oil is a treasure. The flowers are harvested by hand. But only the flowers are picked that are just about to open. To produce one millilitre of this essential oil, nearly one kilogram of orange flowers is needed. If one considers how light these flowers are, one can also imagine the amount of flowers required for just a millilitre. Neroli must not be mistaken with bitter orange oil. Bitter orange oil is made from bitter orange peels, Neroli from its flowers. Primavera Neroli oil is distilled from organic orange flowers.
Cassis is the French name of black currant. The Cassis oil is made from black currant seed. As it is very rich of unsaturated fatty acids, it acts relaxing on sensitive skin, accelerates skin cell regeneration and supports skin's moisture household. The Cassis for Primavera cosmetic products is grown in controlled organic farming. As for all Primavera products, the Neroli Cassis face care series does not contain any synthetic ingredients, additives or preservatives.
Primavera Neroli Cassis grooms skin with organic plant extracts, pure natural aromas from flowers and valuable vegetable oils. Further organic moisturisers support the effects of the eight Neroli Cassis care products: Acerola, Aloe Vera, almond, evening primrose, sea buckthorn, shea nut and wild rose. Primavera Neroli Cassis is a precious care series for dry skin.
Most base oils are derived by cold pressing. The especially valuable macerates are on the other hand produced by pouring olive or sesame oil over the plant material. After several weeks, the contents of the plant parts like colorants and aromatic substances are washed out into the base oil. The final macerates do therefore not only contain agents of the base oil, but also the agents of the treated plants.
Base oils and macerates can be used as they are or mixed with essential oils. The combination with an essential oil leads to an addition of effects of both oils. This enrichment leads to an especially effective impact. A pleasant oil massage enhances well-being, relaxes the senses and casually grooms the skin. The selection of the essential oil can be driven by the desired effect: refreshment, relaxation, stimulation: each pure natural essential oil has its own effect.
Cold pressed base oils are rich of unsaturated fatty acids, a variety of vitamins and other valuable ingredients. As the ingredients nearly resemble the build-up of skin fat, base oils are eminently skin friendly. For baby care, almond oil, macadamia nut oil and jojoba oil are recommended.
Who does not know the aromatic smell of ginger and its spicy-hot taste? Especially the Asian naturopathy relies on its anti-inflammatory as well as inspiring and stimulating effect. Coming from China, the knowledge about ginger was moved forward via the Roman Empire into the western world. Also Hildegard von Bingen and Paracelsus praised the healing powers of ginger. Essences of ginger give Primavera ginger-lime series its stimulating aroma.
If one mixes Caipirinha at home will not think about whether the lime used is a key lime or a Persian lime. Due to their very seedy pulp, key limes are far more used as provider of essential oils than as a plain food. With the fresh smell of green limes concentration can be enhanced, mood can be brightened and additional energies can be activated.
Primavera Body Care Energizing utilises animating powers of essential oils from activating ginger and refreshing lime at everyday body care. Organic jojoba oil acts moisturising. With this combination, the skin is vitalised from head to toe.
In the last centuries, the juniper tree was a part of every garden. Not only its berries, but also its sprouts, the stem and its roots were used in various recipes in traditional medicine. Already in the Middle Ages, juniper was said to have extensive healing capacities. The different remedies were used to treat blood circulation problems, rheumatism, synovitis and metabolic problems. Also in cuisine the powers of juniper have been known for ages. Its smell cures from loss of appetite. When it comes to indigestive dishes, the juniper berry (mostly in form of high proof drinks) supports stomach's work. More recent studies show also a comfortable anti-stress effect of juniper. Today, the cypress-like tree is on the list of endangered species and is protected by nature conservancy laws in Germany.
Still, its berries can be collected. Unfortunately, the sun is not strong enough in our regions to build up essential oil effective enough. The high-grade essential juniper berry oil is won in sun-kissed areas of the Mediterranean. Plants used in natural cosmetics have been known for centuries or even millenniums. They have been used as vegetable remedies or especially as food. Mineral-rich sea weed, which could be found both in sweet and salt water areas, were used as food already a long time ago. While in Asia and America this has continued until today, sea weed was rediscovered in Western Europe just recently. The reasons for this rediscovery are the positive values in terms of health, like the respective contents of carbohydrates, fat, protein as well as fibre and minerals. The Maya already used sea weed as cosmetic. It is also passed on that the French ladies of the Atlantic coast used sea weed as a regular hair rinse for strengthening the hair. Sea weed contributes to blood circulation and strengthens skin tissue.
By supplying moisture, minerals and vitamins, sea weed keep the skin's natural balance. Also, the secret of sea weed's astonishingly high skin-friendliness seems to be uncovered: the reason seems to be the nearly identical mineral content of human blood and sea water. Sea weed prevents the skin from accelerated and earl ageing, support skin tissue and therefore supply a softer and smoother skin. Primavera Body Line combines the vitalising powers of essential juniper berry oil with the stimulating energies of sea weed. The Primavera Body Line series was especially developed for skin suffering from connective tissue weakness. When suffering fro cellulite, catabolism is boosted and the skin's cell regeneration in problem zones is supported. Skin looks tighter and stronger everywhere.
Primavera Relaxing grooms with the gentle forces of essential oils made from calming wild lavender and wrapping vanilla. The Primavera Relaxing line gives inner calmness and deep relaxation. Organic evening primrose oil protects sensitive skin and calms down from head to toes.
Even the ancient Romans preferred to have a bath in water with fresh lavender additives. But not only for its comfortable smell lavender was so popular, also its healing powers, which were attributed to the bluish blooming plant, contributed to it. The healer Plinius the Elder used lavender essences for pain relief and for disinfection. Hildegard von Bingen praised lavender as „an herb that clears the view“. Also in the cloister gardens of the Middle Ages lavender could be found. The nuns and monks - all aware of traditional medicine - valued its pain relief effect. In aromatherapy essential lavender oil is used today to release stress and to treat insomnia. Also Primavera trusts in the balancing and harmonising effects of wild lavender. The high-quality oil is won by steam distillation from fresh-cut lavender. It supports cell regeneration and recovery of dry skin.
Even today, vanilla is one of the most expensive spices of the world. This is on the one hand related to its time-consuming and labour-intensive production, and to artificial pollination on the other. For a long time, lavender could only be imported fro Mexico and Central America, as the deep chalice could only be pollinated by local bees and hummingbirds. Cultivating abroad failed a long time. Not earlier that in the middle of the 19th century a working method was found, but it required a lot of patience: Vanilla can be pollinated manually by the means of a thin stick, like a bamboo or cactus prickle. Today Madagascar and the surrounding islands are the main growing regions for vanilla. Also the vanilla, grown in controlled organic farming, used for the vanilla extract for Primavera Relaxing series comes from Madagascar. Fresh vanilla fruits do not have the typical vanilla aroma. They are nearly scentless. In a sophisticated process the vanilla capsules are first treated with steam. Only during the following fermentation the vanillin crystallises out. This process may take up to four weeks. There are many different sorts of vanilla that differ a lot from the taste of the known bourbon vanilla. Mexico vanilla, for example, has a strong savoury taste and is often used to season South American fish dishes. The hull of Tahiti vanilla has a remarkably flowery aroma. Floristically, vanilla is categorised into the family of orchids. The wonderful scent of Primavera Relaxing body care line is coined by an aromatic herbal vanilla extract, combined with additional essential oils.
Another calming and grooming component of Primavera Relaxing is evening primrose. The evening primrose is called like that, as the plant will open its straight inflorescences only at the break of dawn. At the next morning, the open flowers will fade away already. Home of this beautifully smelling, yellow evening primrose is North America. The Peruvian natives used the plant to treat skin injuries. In the 17th century the plant was introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant and spread quickly. Today the adaptable plant can be found on embankments, in stone pits and industrial zones.
Evening primrose oil is rich of unsaturated fatty acids, minerals and vitamins, especially vitamin E. The unsaturated fatty acids supply the skin with moisture and support skin's moisture household. When skin suffers from insufficient moisture supply, it will dry out. Rough or flaky skin, small fissures or even wrinkles can be the result. Is skin supplied with moisture, it will become soft and smooth again. It soaks up moisture. The effect: skin is tauter and healthier, small wrinkles disappear.
Herbal water, also called herbal distillates, is a by-product of distillation. Herbal water contains the water-soluble components of the respective distilled plant. In a lower concentration traces of essential oils are perceivable. Herbal water is very short-lived. To stabilise the life-cycle, alcohol has to be added. Herbal water contains the same agents as the ones contained in essential oils, but in far lower concentration. They are suitable for most diverse applications. Depending on the kind of plant used, herbal water can be perfectly used for natural body and skin care, for scenting rooms, as comfortable compresses or on refreshment towels.
