Bionome Beauty Care

According to the Duden German dictionary “Bionomy” is the “Science of the laws of life”.

These laws are the qualitative basis for the developmentof all DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC products. This meansthat not only the skin’s metabolism and structure is taken into account, but also aspects of our environmentare considered.

The goals of bionome beauty care are:

■ Optimal compatibility through application of dermato-logical and allergological knowledge in the selectionof ingredients.

■ A targeted range of ingredients whose effectivenesshas been specified and proven and which are there-fore beneficial to the skin.

■ A harmony between the ingredients and the physiol-ogy and anatomy of the skin. This is achieved whenas many ingredients as possible are endemic to theskin and body, meaning the substances occur natu-rally in the composition of the skin. SkinIdent®, ourcutting-edge product line, is comprised exclusively ofingredients and vitamins endemic to the skin.

■ Environmentally friendly: doing away with unneces-sary waste such as outer packaging.

■ Animal-friendly: no use of animal substances.

Exceptional Compatibility

The scientifically-based selection of ingredients meansthat the probability of allergies is minimized and providesthe basis for outstanding compatibility and effectiveness.Specific fragrances, essential oils and preservatives incosmetics can trigger allergies. These are referred to intechnical literature such as the “Blue List” (published byECV) and the IVDK “Investigation into the prevalence ofenvironmental contact allergies” commissioned by theNational Environmental Agency in 2004. Even if your skinhas tolerated allergens for a long period of time, sus-tained use can cause allergic skin reactions months or

even years down the line. In the interests of our clients wewould like to minimize this risk. Therefore DR. BAUMANNCOSMETIC has invested a considerable amount inresearch to make products with pleasant fragrances without the use of perfume, or essential oils and durablewithout the addition of preservatives. (For identification of perfumes and chemical preservatives see the article “Consumer Protection” on page five). Certain DR. BAUMANN products contain essential oils which arelisted on each product in accordance with legal require-ments.

The advantagesThe advantages of DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC

Scientific Accuracy and Honesty

We guarantee that at DR. BAUMANN no false or exag-gerated promises are made. Our goal is to secure thebest for you and your skin within predisposed limits. Ourmultilamellar liposomes are comprised of the same

lipids as human skin cells. These lipids and theceramides we use are important components of theintercellular substance between the skin cells.

DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC manufactures high-qualityproducts for particularly discerning and informed people.All decisions are made by qualified academics (doctorand cosmetic chemist) who are the also the owners of

the company. The focus is on benefits for you and yourskin and not on adapting to changing cosmetic fashiontrends which have questionable value for your skin.

Scientific Expertise and quality

Documented Effectiveness

Multilamellar liposomes exhibit a range of effects whichare particularly advantageous in caring for the skin. Theyare able to transport important active substances such

as vitamins into the skin and greatly improve the skin’smoisture content within a short period of time. (See theinsert “Multilamellar liposomes” on page 9).

Safety through natural ingredients

Our products contain valuable natural plant oils, but nomineral oils such as paraffin’s from petroleum. Mineraloils are so cheaply priced that they can greatly decreasethe manufacturing costs of cosmetics. However experi-ence shows that in high concentrations they can form afilm on the surface of the skin and, according to a studyby the Dermatological University Hospital of Copen-hagen, they can impair the regeneration of the skin’sprotective barrier. Even after use of mineral oils is dis-

continued the skin may dry out and develop blemishesuntil it adjusts to a healthier way of treating with a DR. BAUMANN product containing natural plant oils. Insuch cases continue to use the DR. BAUMANN productin order to regenerate the skin’s protective barrier so thatthe skin can conserve moisture (for more information onmineral oils see “Consumer Protection: RecognizingCosmetic Ingredients” on page 6).

The paradigm of the skin

With DR. BAUMANN liposome products you treat yourskin with exactly the same substances which are foundthere naturally. Simply put, you are caring for your skinwith “skin”! Can there be anything more natural for theskin? An important requirement is that liposome prod-ucts do not contain preservatives or perfume. Certainlyyou now understand why our skincare products are so

effective and compatible with the skin. Criteria for natu-ral cosmetics which allow, for example, preservatives tobe included are not adequate in our opinion. Our specif-ic quality requirements adhere to the notion of “bionomebeauty care”.

An important goal of DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC is to lookafter the animals and the environment. We therefore donot use unnecessary packaging such as outer packag-ing around containers and bottles, and for the sake ofanimal protection we do not use any animal substancesin our products. Animal ingredients in cosmetic products

derive predominantly from waste from slaughterhousesand from animals who have suffered their whole lives in“factory farms” where animals are intensively mass-farmed. True animal protection completely rejects thekilling of any animal. A meat-free diet does not only ben-efit animals but also your health and therefore your skin.

Responsibility for people, animals and environment

The importance of a healthy diet for a beautiful skin can-not be stressed enough. Scientific studies show howspectacular the health benefits of a meat-free diet are.An example is shown in a relevant policy document pub-lished in 2003 by the ADA (American Dietetic Associa-tion) and the DC (Dieticians of Canada) collectively on theHealth benefits of vegetarian (meat-free) and vegan (nomeat, fish, milk or eggs) diets. Many of the mostrenowned dieticians in the USA and Canada are mem-bers of these associations. The ADA alone has around70 000 members. In this official policy document itstates:

“Well planned vegan and other forms of vegetarian dietsare appropriate for all phases of the life-cycle, includingpregnancy, lactation, early and later childhood and ado-lescence. Vegetarian diets offer a range of benefits.”

“It is the position of the American Dietetic Association(ADA) and the Dieticians of Canada (DC) that a sensible,well-planned vegetarian diet is conductive to goodhealth and suitable for meeting nutritional needs, as well

as a being a healthy way of preventing and treating cer-tain illnesses.”

“It is the responsibility of dieticians to support andstrengthen interest in vegetarian diets.”

One of the most recognised and renowned German dieti-cians Prof. Dr. Claus Leitzmann from the University ofGießen is also clear on the subject:

“Studies with people living vegan lifestyles which arebeing carried out across the world show that vegans areon average healthier than the general population. Bodyweight, blood pressure, cholesterol, kidney function andgeneral state of health are by in large worse in the nor-mal population. In addition to these positive aspects avegan diet is less damaging to the environment (liquidmanure and methane from animal farming), Developingcountries will become more independent (no import ofanimal feed) and animals will be more humanely treat-ed. Therefore the breeding of livestock, animal farming,transportation of animals and animal experiments will bereduced or can be completely eradicated.”

Our certified cosmeticians are trained by us and are wellqualified to help you choose the correct DR. BAUMANNproducts for you during a consultation, based on the condition of your skin and the season. These DR. BAUMANN cosmeticians are experts in healthyand effective skincare.

The skilled personnel at your DR. BAUMANN cosmeticinstitute are not only experts on the treatments offeredat the institute but also especially on planning yourhome skincare regime. Consider that a 1-2 hour treat-ment at a cosmetic institute cannot correct what has

been caused through incorrect skin care at home. Cos-metic treatments at the institute and home skincaremust be coordinated in order to achieve the best suc-cess with your skin. Professional treatments are only theinitial starting point followed by skincare to be contin-ued and perfected at home with the correct products.

Correct daily skincare at home is of crucial impor-tance for the condition of your skin. You can trust inthe recommendations of your DR. BAUMANN cos-metic institute and in DR. BAUMANN products.

The importance of correct skincare at home

Consumer protection: Recognizing cosmetic ingredients

For the protection of consumers it is a legal requirementthat the ingredients in cosmetic products are identifiedon the packaging (INCI Declaration). But consumers areoften not aware about the meaning of these (often Latin)terms. For this reason we have put together for you a listof frequently used chemical preservatives, perfumes andpetroleum-based products/mineral oils.

Perfume, Fragrance

Chemical preservatives: Benzoic Acid, Methylparaben,Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Triclosan,Imidazolidinyl Urea, Diazolidinyl Urea, Chlorhexidin,Methylisothiazolinon, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sor-bate, Dibromodicyanobutan, Sorbic Acid, DMDM Hydan-toin, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Phenoxyethanol,Chlormethylisothiazolinon, Bronopol, Quarternium 115,Iodpropinylbutylcarbamat. Please note: “nature-related”preservatives are chemical preservatives.

Petroleum-based products/Mineral oils: Mineral Oil,Petrolatum (Vaseline), Paraffinum-Liquidum, Paraf-finum-Subliquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Microcrys-talline Wax, Ozokerit, Ceresin.

If you would like further information about the advan-tages and disadvantages of individual cosmetic ingredi-ents we recommend the following literature, in particularthe “Blue List” handed out for specialists .This classifiescosmetic ingredients according to the “potential allergicthreat” they pose. The “Blue List” is written by the follow-ing authors: Dr. H.P. Fiedler, Wiesbaden; Prof. Dr. H.Ippen, Göttingen; Prof. Dr. F.H. Kemper, Münster; Prof.Dr. Dr. N.-P. Lüpke, Osnabrück; Prof. Dr. K.H. Schulz,Hamburg; Dr. W. Umbach, Düsseldorf.

An informative reference book for specialists and con-sumers without specialized knowledge is also the book“Die Bewertung kosmetischer Inhaltsstoffe anhand derINCI-Bezeichnungen” (A review of cosmetic ingredientsbased on INCI identification) compiled by Dr. Ernst W.Henrich und Dr. Thomas Baumann. It serves to evaluatecosmetic products with regard to compatibility, allergichazardousness and effectiveness. Furthermore a distinc-tion is made between plant and animal ingredients toenable animal-friendly consumers and vegetarians tomake the right product choices.

We guarantee you that in our products there are no chemical preservatives, no perfumes, no mineraloils and/or paraffin from petroleum and no animal ingredients.

Documented effectiveness of the application ofmultilamellar liposomes:

After cleansing the skin one of the following Lipo-some MultiActive products should be applied so thatthe liposomes can transport moisture and ingredientsinto the skin. Thereafter a moisturizer suitable foryour skin type can be applied. The Liposome MultiAc-tive products represent the essence of DR. BAU-MANN COSMETIC basic care and highlight their dif-ference from other cosmetic products.

Especially for men:All liposome products are ideal for regenerating theskin after shaving.

Liposome MultiActive Manuka, Tea Tree, Lavender(With manuka, tea tree and lavender oils)

Contains the same ingredients as Liposome MultiActiveTea Tree, but also contains manuka and lavender forintensive care of impure or blemish-prone skin.

Liposome MultiActive Vitamin E + C (With vitamins E + C)

Contains the same ingredients as Liposome MultiActiveChamomile, but instead of the chamomile it containshigh concentrations of vitamins E + C. These vitaminsprotect the skin from environmental stressors such asUV-rays.

Liposome MultiActive Ceramid(With ceramides)

In addition this product contains ceramides. Ceramides,together with phospholipids, are important componentsof the intercellular substance between the skin cells andwork on the skin’s outer layer. This strengthens the bar-rier function of the skin’s horny later, which is vital for adry, flaky skin. Contains no essential oils, chamomile ortea tree oil.

Liposome MultiActive lightHas the same ingredients and effect as Liposome Multi-Active Ceramide, but essentially contains less oil andfewer liposomes. Ideal for oily skin, warm weather andfor adapting the skin to the initial use of multilamellarliposomes.

Liposome MultiActive Super lightContains the same ingredients as Liposome MultiActivelight, but by contrast contains no evening primrose oiland jojoba oil. Particularly recommended for very warmweather, very oily skin and for adapting the skin to theinitial use of multilamellar liposomes.

Assured Effectiveness

Scientific studies have shown that a twice-dailyapplication of multilamellar liposomes can greatlyboost the skin’s moisture content within a shortperiod of time. These findings have been docu-mented in scientific publications such as “Haut undLiposome” (Skin and liposomes) by Dr. Ghyczy et al(1992) and “Beeinflussung der Hautfeuchtigkeitdurch Liposomen” (Influencing the moisture of theskin through the use of liposomes) in the journalSöFW 10/92 by Dr. Röding et al.

Amazing characteristics:

Liposomes are both an active substance and anexcipient (transporter) of active substances. Theyare related to the skin and perform an importantmoisture dispensing function. They are therefore ina position to transport other skin-friendly activesubstances (such as vitamins E, A and provitaminB5) into the skin.

Excellent compatibility

The lipid building-blocks of multilamellar liposomescome from nature and occur as components of theskin. This is the basis for particularly good compati-bility. Therefore as a matter of course we do not usepreservatives or perfume due to the risk caused bythe transporting function of multilamellar liposomes.

Masks and ampoules play an important role in DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC. Their high concentrationof active substances in conjunction with the liposometreatments provide sustainable and specialized skin-care, which leads to an amazing improvement in therelative condition of the skin. This way one can suc-cessfully continue at home the treatment begun byone’s cosmetician. Your cosmetician will gladly giveyou advice pertaining to the correct products for yourskin type and their application.

Humidity / Moisture The tightening effect of hyaluronic acid and its excep-tional compatibility with the eye area makes theseampoules an ideal intensive product for the delicate eyearea. With regular use these ampoules perfectly comple-ment the effect of both DR. BAUMANN eye care prod-ucts.

HyaluronicThese ampules contain the same ingredients as themoisture ampoules but in different concentrations. Thepowerful moisture-dispensing and skin-tightening effectof hyaluronic acid makes these ampules ideal for treat-ing loss of elasticity and dryness.

Vitamin E (Natural vitamin E dispensed through hyaluronicacid gel)

These ampoules should definitely be applied to the deli-cate skin of the face and neck before sun tanning andsun bed sessions. The panthenol and urea contained inthese ampules makes them perfectly suited to matureskin and skin types inclined towards pigmentation andsun allergies.

Vitamin E natural 100 % This 100% concentrated plant-derived natural vitamin Eis very easy to mix with other DR. BAUMANN skincareproducts when one desires a specifically high concen-tration of natural vitamin E.

Vitamin A Scientific studies indicate that the regular and consistentapplication of vitamin A can regenerate damaged skincells and boost the skin’s collagen concentration. UV-rays really dry out the skin this can be counterbalancedby the vitamin A and hyaluronic acid contained in theseampoules. This can work against the premature develop-ment of wrinkles. Ideal for use after being in the sun orsun bed or for prematurely aged, sun-damaged skin.

Ampoules

Interesting information from scientific studies on

Natural vitamin E has many positive effects on the skin. Itimproves moisture retention in the skin’s horny layer whichleads to an improvement in skin texture. Vitamin E also has acalming effect and increases enzyme activity in the skin. It pro-tects the skin against damage from free radicals, reduces thenumber of UV-damaged skin cells and thereby slows down theageing process. Regular application of vitamin E protects theskin against UV-rays and daily application can provide a sunprotection factor of up to SPF3. Due to its highly effective natureall DR. BAUMANN products contain at least 2% vitamin E.

Natural Vitamin E

Ampoules

Natural Vitamin E

Horse Chestnut Together with the other valuable ingredients, horsechestnut regulates the skin’s blood circulation andstrengthens the walls of the peripheral blood vessels.This can visibly diminish redness e.g. around the cheekor nose area, and work against the progression ofcouperose. Therefore this product is definitely recom-mended for couperose and couperose-prone skin.

Ampoules – the fast way to a more beautifulskin

This comprehensive range of concentrated activeingredients offers special treatments for every skintype. They should be introduced as a regular part ofyour skincare regime or as a treatment for particularskin problems. This comprehensive range of DR. BAUMANN ampules provides the exact dose ofvaluable active ingredients.

CeramideDespite comprehensive skincare, the skin can appearflaky and rough when the lipids in the horny layer aredisplaced due to ageing, environmental influences etc.,impairing the skin’s barrier function. The affected inter-cellular substance in the horny layer is comprised ofceramides and other lipids. The Ceramide ampules workeffectively against rough and flaky skin. They are suitableas a treatment for neurodermitis and psoriasis.

Herb-Vital The combination of basic, chamomile and summersavoury contained in these ampules has a calming andsoothing effect, recommended for dryness, impurities,redness and skin prone to blemishes.

Propolis Waxes, resins, balsams, amino acids, trace elements,enzymes, vitamins and provitamins are contained inPropolis. Daily application is recommended to areasaffected by impurities and blemishes.

Lecithin Ideal for problems such as stubborn blackheads.Because lecithin positively influences the water balancein the horny layer of the skin, the skin becomes softer,roughness is smoothed out and blackheads are moreeasily removed. The macadamia nut oil contained in thisproduct strengthens the effect of the lecithin.

After AHA Peeling The active ingredients in these ampoules are lecithin andvitamin C. Very well suited to irritated, reddened skin e.g.after skin peels, to regenerate the skin’s lipid barrier.

Jojoba These ampoules contain 100% pure cold-pressed jojo-ba oil. Because jojoba oil is so similar to the sebum pro-duced by the skin, these ampules should be applied todry skin. Because jojoba oil remains on the skin’s sur-face it makes sense to use these ampules overnight.

Evening Primrose Oil These ampoules contain 100% pure evening primroseoil with a naturally high content of gamma-linoleic acids.These ampoules are especially recommended for thetreatment of dry, rough and flaky skin. For damaged,chapped skin, evening primrose oil is a product whichdoes not burn and which is often used on its own. Inthese circumstances it is advisable to treat the skin firstonly with evening primrose oil ampoules and eventuallyin combination with the Ceramide ampoules, and then toprogress to a complete skincare regime with liposomesand moisturizer. Evening primrose oil can also be takenorally to provide the body with gamma-linoic acids. Adrop 2 to 3 times per day is adequate.

Aloe VeraThe calming and soothing effect of Aloe Vera gel, togeth-er with hyaluronic acids and urea, is superb for stressedand irritated skin.

Aloe Vera PLUS In addition to Aloe Vera extract these ampules containpure natural vitamin E and vitamins A and C. The calm-ing and soothing effect is more intense than with theAloe Vera ampoules. Vitamins E and A also have a pro-tective and regenerative effect on the skin. Theseampoules are highly recommended for very dry, irritated,sunburnt skin.

16

Cream Mask for dry skin Ideal not only when the skin requires moisture and activesubstances, but also when the oil content of the upperskin layers is low. Mild kaolin gives this mask a cleans-ing and soothing effect. The inclusion of active sub-stances such as jojoba oil, lactate and basil providesintense nourishment for the skin.

Cream Mask for oily and impure skinValuable ingredients such as kaolin, diatomite, jojoba oil,Shea butter, sesame oil and chamomile oil have intensecalming and cleansing properties. They remove excesssebum and dead skin cells and have an oil-absorbingeffect. The skin feels smoother, cleaner and less oily.

Face masks pamper, relax and nourish theskin.

The five DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC masks eachmeet individual skincare needs. The effectivenessof the masks can be enhanced by applying a corre-sponding ampule beforehand.

Liposome Mask Regular application supplies the skin with lipids andactive substances such as Aloe Vera, macadamia nut oil,vitamin A, natural vitamin E etc. resulting in a much pur-er skin. The moisture content of the skin is stronglyincreased, which in turn works against fine lines causedby dryness. With time blemishes and blackheads aredissolved and impurities are slowly repressed. The com-plexion appears fresher, rosier and more attractive. Yourskin gains resilience and freshness.

Aloe Vera Mask The valuable ingredients in this gel-based mask have acalming and soothing effect on stressed, irritated, red-dened or impure skin. Aloe Vera with its cooling andcalming properties, and herbs such as chamomile, basil,summer savoury and lavender, make this product idealfor use after sunbathing and for a sunburnt skin.

Simple and Efficient Skincare

The skins of men and women show only small differencese.g. in the thickness of the epidermis and sebum produc-tion. In men’s’ skin there remains a strong sebum produc-tion even after their 30’s, whereas the sebaceous glands inwomen show greatly reduced activity after 30. In addition,men’s skin is often stressed and dried out by shaving, espe-cially when aftershave containing alcohol is applied to theskin. All of this means that particular care should be takenin choosing the correct products. Therefore the DR. BAU-MANN products are perfect for the care of both female andmale skin. Men are well advised not to wait until the firstskin problems arise, but to prevent them from occurring byusing DR. BAUMANN skincare products such as the Cleans-ing Gel, or using mild cleansing milk such as the CleansingMilk or Cleansing Milk Super in place of shaving cream. TheCleansing Milk acts within minutes to prepare the skin for agentle wet shave. At the same time the skin is gentlycleansed. Afterwards the Facial Tonic Lotion Special can beused, which contains moisture-dispensing hyaluronic acid.

Perfect care after shaving

After shaving it is essential to apply a DR. BAUMANN lipo-some product (Liposome MultiActive) to replenish the skinwith the lipids which are lost during shaving. This ensuresthat the regenerative forces are optimally effective. Oneshould use Liposome MultiActive Light on oily to normalskin, Liposome MultiActive with Chamomile on irritated skin,Liposome MultiActive with Tea Tree Oil on impure and blem-ished skin, Liposome MultiActive Vitamin E+C on skin need-

ing protection and Liposome MultiActive Super Cure on dif-ficult problem skin. After the liposome treatment if you wishyou may apply a DR. BAUMANN moisturizer or one of theMultivitamin products.

Showering

The DR. BAUMANN Shower Gel provides a mild but thorough cleansing. The same can be said for the DR. BAUMANN shampoo, which is suitable for all hair types.To nourish the hair the DR. BAUMANN conditioner should beused regularly. The DR. BAUMANN Hair Revitalizing Lotion isreally beneficial in strengthening the roots and preventinghair-loss.

Sport, sun and feet

For sport in summer where there is a large amount of per-spiration we recommend the use of the oil-free Sun Gel withSPF 10. For strong solar radiation e.g. while skiing, the SunLotion SPF 20 or SPF 30 is just right. The Sun Cream SPF30, which contains oil, is recommended for sun protectionof dry skin and also for skiing in winter to protect all skin-types from the cold. The lips are protected and smoothed bythe Lipstick SPF 7. With or without sun the DR. BAUMANNSelf Tan provides a healthy, natural looking tan withoutblotches. Foot odour and athlete’s foot is not only commonamongst sportsmen. Spare the environment from aerosolsprays by using the DR. BAUMANN Foot Cream with tea treeoil and prevent other problems such as athlete’s foot at thesame time. Dry and rough hands and feet can be treatedwith the Chaps Cream – if it is not acute, the Hand Creamcan be used.

Can be taken in capsules(with cellulose, without gelatine) or as a powder.

Omega-3 Fatty AcidsOmega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids which thebody cannot create itself and which must be taken in theinterests of good health. Alpha linoic acids can be takenby means of linseed and rapeseed oil. The conversion ofalpha linoic acids into the two other essential omega-3fatty acids EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Doco-sahexaenoic acid) is often insufficient, which is whytaking additional EPA and/or DHA is recommended. Theydo not supply EPA and/or DHA from fish oils for healthreasons (due to the increasing pollution of the sea), envi-ronmental reasons (over-fishing) and on ethical grounds(killing of animals). We offer omega-3 fatty acid DHAfrom algae and alpha linoic acids from linseed oil.

Our policy

For over 17 years the directors, cosmetic chemist Dr. Thomas Baumann and doctor and naturopath Dr. Ernst W. Henrich, have been pursuing their goal ofdeveloping bionome skincare products in a class of theirown. From the start they worked according to a cleartried and tested concept: the doctor and naturopath pro-vided input on what is best for the skin and the cosmet-ic chemist used these guidelines in his lab accordingly todevelop products.

The outcome was the leading-edge DR. BAUMANNbionome products available today. The crowningachievement of this research work is the SkinIdent®

skincare line, which is comprised exclusively of skin-endemic ingredients and vitamins, so that the best pos-sible compatibility and effectiveness is achieved.

Dr. Henrich and Dr. Baumann have also become wellknown as authors of the reference book “Die Bewertungkosmetischer Inhaltsstoffe anhand der INCI-Bezeichnun-gen” (An evaluation of cosmetic ingredients based onthe INCI identification system). Already published in its4th edition, this work offers experts and interested endusers useful information about rating cosmetic productsaccording to their ingredients. The bionome quality stan-dards are the result of continuous, systematic and ambi-tious research.

For years DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC GmbH has support-ed child and animal welfare projects worldwide. DR. BAUMANN COSMETIC GmbH will also continue toaid state and non-profit organisations’ child and/or ani-mal welfare programmes in the future, financially andthrough personal engagement.
