KATALINEA brings modern freshness to old traditions

As beautiful as Sissi

       

She was not only Empress of Austria-Hungary, but also one of the most beautiful women of her time: Empress Sissi. Her image is on everyone's lips - which makes you wonder what her secret was. Katalinea knows: in order to maintain her unmistakable complexion and youthful skin, the empress mixed her own beauty products. One of her recipes for success was her sun protection cream and her soothing face mask, which contained two particularly effective substances, including
rose water and frankincense
! Both made the empress's skin appear soft and supple and are still used in beauty research today.


The Viennese cosmetics manufacturer Katalinea
relies on the mixture of its high-quality beauty products
Hyaluron Overdose
and
Satin Glow
also rely on tried and tested knowledge - and combine this with the latest science. The organic rose water, which forms the basis of the Hyaluron Overdose Serum, soothes the skin with its moisturizing properties and helps it to regenerate. The Satin Glow Serum with frankincense has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and even offers soothing relief from sunburn thanks to the abundance of vitamin E. When used daily, especially during the hot summer months, the effects of this dynamic serum duo can really unfold and give your skin a graceful radiance.

To preserve her elegant pallor, Empress Elisabeth relied on the aforementioned sun protection cream. This consisted of her beloved rose water, as well as sesame and almond oil, beeswax, zinc and talc. Sissi's "wash water", a rose facial toner, was an essential part of her facial cleansing routine. Here too, the empress relied on the queen of flowers. After a long summer's day, Sissi applied a protein mask containing frankincense oil and rose water to regenerate her skin before going to bed. These regenerative and anti-inflammatory after-sun ingredients not only ensured a youthful complexion, but also soothed the empress's skin, which had to endure a great deal of sun exposure due to her long rides and stays in southern climes such as Madeira or Corfu.

Today, it is not so much the long rides but rather the stress of everyday life in hot cities that is hard on our skin. What hasn't changed, however, is the tried-and-tested method and application of perfectly coordinated active ingredients that really come into their own with daily use. Katalinea offers the perfect after-sun treatment for stressed skin and, with its natural ingredients, gives every woman the grace of an empress.
