Fat, moist and famous: The serum with the exciting name “Fat-Moist Balancer” from the Heidelberg natural cosmetics manufacturer ARYA LAYA is celebrating its 40th birthday. With a new design in gold and lots of party atmosphere in the health food store, where the 2-phase elixir is one of the outstanding bestsellers. That’s why customers love the classic fat-moist balancer and its now three variants (Aloe Vera, Aqua Vital, Cell Repair): You have to shake the bottle briefly and vigorously before use, because the serum contains no emulsifiers – only the finest oils and cold-pressed juices of aloe vera or rose. Reduced to the max! This is natural and effective skin care with no frills.
The career of the fat-moist balancer presents the respectful handling of nature’s active ingredients – the good things from nature need to be treated well. At the same time, the anniversary product also shows the sustainable hand-in-hand between the two generations of managing directors of the Heidelberg family company – what one invented is being further developed for the future, for a growing natural cosmetics fan base.
HOW IT BEGAN…
The managing partner of ARYA LAYA and scientific director, Dr. Dieter Schmalz, invented the fat-moist balancer in 1984. Dr. Dieter Schmalz says: “I wanted to develop a natural moisturizer without emulsifiers and preservatives. For optimal skin care, it should also contain oil, be absorbed well and not stick. The result is a 2-phase product to improve the fat-moisture balance of the skin.” The product initially had doubters from within its own ranks who said that cosmetics with the word “fat” didn’t sell and were off-putting. Managing director Christin Lüdemann, who has been responsible for ARYA LAYA since 2022, wants to continue this success story. The cosmetics expert now puts the fat-moist balancer in the golden light in the truest sense of the word and says: “The fat-moist balancer is our signature product. Many attempts have been made to copy it, but customers have relied on the original and have been shaking and shining for 40 years. The timeless innovative power of the fat-moist balancer still manages to turn customers into real fans today and impresses with its great ingredients and method of application. Now I have had a golden look created for the fat-moist balancer – a golden outer packaging and a matt gold screw cap on the sustainable glass bottle – so we put the product in the spotlight on the shelf.“
THE 2-PHASE SERUM CONTAINS…
This is what the orange classic contains: The water phase contains aloe vera, flower honey and rose water, which intensively moisturize, nourish, strengthen and soothe the skin. For the oil phase, valuable natural plant oils were selected that smooth and firm, such as jojoba oil, almond and avocado oil – all rich in essential fatty acids. Water-soluble beetroot extract and oil-soluble carrot extract provide active ingredients and color. Thanks to the carotene it contains, the skin immediately appears fresher, smoother, plumper and has a radiant glow. And how wonderful it smells! Firming orange oil is proven to invigorate the senses and give positive energy. A mood enhancer for skin and senses!
Natural vitamin E was added to the oil phase as an active ingredient and as an antioxidant that is intended to protect the plant oils from becoming rancid. Vitamin E is also known as a skin protection vitamin. It promotes cell renewal, moisturizes, smoothes the tissue and keeps it elastic. Another property of vitamin E is that it binds free radicals and thus prevents premature, environmentally-related skin aging.
When the precious ingredients of the two phases are combined, drops should be placed in the hand and then gently distributed onto the face, neck and décolleté. Depending on how your skin feels, then apply a cream – the fat-moist balancer can be easily combined with other care products. It is a suitable anti-aging serum because it reduces wrinkles, provides moisture, energy and a beautiful glow. It is also extremely economical to use.
Tip 1: Men love it too: Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, the fat-moist balancer is also suitable for men as an aftershave. More and more men are incorporating the nourishing serum into their beauty routine.
Tip 2: One product, many possibilities: The fat-moist balancer is ideal as a light day cream, as a base for make-up and, as a serum under anti-aging care, gives the skin a wonderful feeling.
