German skincare and spa brand Babor has unveiled two home spa collections inspired by nature – named Babor Spa Energising and Babor Spa Shaping.

Both are powered by 90 per cent natural and sustainably-sourced ingredients and formulated with two main active ingredients – French cotton thistle and wild service tree extract.

French cotton thistle is known for its ability to support regeneration of the skin’s natural protection barrier while the wild service tree has the highest vitamin C content among all domestic fruits and the stem cell extracts of the service tree facilitate skin regeneration and protect against premature ageing.

The first line, Spa Energising, also contains alga Jania Rubens, and is designed to protect, revitalise and moisturise the skin.

The range includes a hand and body wash, salt and sugar scrub, body lotion, hand cream and a foot smoothing balm.

All products in the collection are blended with an invigorating apple and lemon scent combined with hints of fresh mint, eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender.

In contrast, Spa Shaping is defined by an aromatic blend of orange, mimosa, almond and musk to set an elegant and calming tone for home spa moments.

The line promotes skin elasticity and firmness using glaucine extract derived from yellow poppy seeds to help firm skin and promote elasticity.

Babor has realised this line with a dry body oil, shower foam, exfoliating peel cream, body lotion, vitamin body cream and hand cream.

Dr Andrea Weber, Babor’s head of science consultation and innovation, remarked: “The pandemic has elevated the importance of home spa and self-care for consumers, thus our spa body care immerses the senses in new dimensions of wellbeing and treats the skin to a much-needed beauty time-out.

“The lines also help prepare the skin for summer and increases consumer anticipation for the opening of hotel spas and associated travel.”
