The primary concern of Dr. Baumann's
Exclusive Bionome Skincare is to provide optimal skincare that takes into
account the specific biologic and metabolic
processes of the human body and skin. Bionome
means: knowing and respecting the principles
of life.
Dr. Baumann's Exclusive Bionome Skincare is
different from conventional skincare ranges.
To understand the
difference requires a small amount of basic physiological
and dermatological knowledge. Unfortunately, this knowledge is not generally available to consumers, and it is not taught at all cosmetics schools, even though it
constitutes an indispensable part of every
cosmetician’s work. One thing is certain: the products used, together with expert consultation, form the basis for the success of a
cosmetics institute. Today’s market is inundated with cosmetic
products of varying quality. Increasingly,
cosmetics companies are suspected of selling
products of dubious quality by using
illusions and slick marketing and packaging.
At a time when only a few companies
actually have their own research and
manufacturing facilities, and advertisements for
cosmetic products do not necessarily reflect true facts, it is
of fundamental importance for cosmeticians
as well as for end users to acquire
fact-based knowledge.
The term “bionome
skincare” is derived from
"bionomy". “Bionomy” is
the “knowledge of life”. We all have the
choice of whether or not we want
to live in harmony with life and nature.
This choice has personal implications for all of us, particularly when it comes to health and beauty. Ideally, our efforts to live better and in
closer harmony with nature will also include
respect for our fellow creatures and the
natural environment.
Dr. Baumann's Exclusive Bionome Skincare is based on
“bionome quality”, a phrase that sums up
the many important
differences between "conventional"
and "natural" cosmetics and our
special quality requirements for healthy
skincare. With great dedication and
consistency, we adhere to sound dermatological
principles to find the best ways of improving and protecting the skin, without losing sight of our
ethical responsibilities towards animals and the environment.
“Bionome quality” must not be mistaken for the often
misused notion of “natural cosmetics”.
First, even natural substances are often not
what the human skin needs and can even
trigger bad allergic reactions and affect
the skin severely. Secondly, “natural cosmetics” all too often contain chemically
synthesized substances such as preservatives. To make the presence
of these substances appear harmless, chemical preservatives are often simply
labeled as “natural”, because it sounds better than “chemical”.
However, experts know that preservatives such as parabens, potassium sorbate and
sodium benzoate are both “natural” as
well as chemical, as “natural” merely
means that one can find at least tiny traces
of these chemically synthesized substances
in nature. Whether an ingredient is
“natural” has absolutely nothing to do
with its compatibility with and value to the
skin. "Natural cosmetics" give you
no guarantee whatsoever that the product does what your
skin needs, or that your skin will not be damaged by highly potent but natural allergic
substances.
Dr.
Baumann's Exclusive Bionome Skincare
goes much further with regard to its quality criteria for compatible and effective skincare in the best
interests of the skin and consumer
protection. “Naturalness” as a
benefit for the skin has nothing to do with
whether a substance is a “natural
substance” but whether the skin and its
immune system identify the substance as
“natural for the skin” and therefore a
natural component of the skin. The slogan
“nature
for the skin” must give way to the new insight that
we should be aware of and respect the “nature
of the skin” and use this as a
basis for the selection of ingredients for
skincare products. The “nature” of our
body consists only of the substances that comprise our organism.
These ingredients alone should be chosen for use in skincare products as they are the only
true representatives of the nature of our
skin. For Dr. Baumann's Exclusive Bionome Skincare
the doctor and naturopath Dr. Henrich has
selected the best ingredients for your customers’ skin
based on dermatological and
allergyological
criteria. Cosmetic chemist Dr. Baumann uses
these recommended ingredients in the
laboratory to create top quality
products. Their work has resulted in a broad
range of excellent bionome products.
All products are made in accordance with the
bionome quality standard system of practice,
which includes the
following guidelines:
v Use of skin-related and skin-identical lipids
v
Use of vitamins A, B5, C, E, F, H
v
Use of urea, panthenol, hyaluronic acid and other beneficial ingredients
v
No added

Some additional information is required in order to
understand fully the concept of “bionome
quality”. To help you understand the principles of bionome skincare, which will help you and your customers for life, we have chosen a few topics to help you understand what skin is and what it needs.
