Many of our products come from reputable manufacturers and each product is labeled accordingly. Each product is provided with either a PZN (Pharmaceutical Central Number) or an official GTIN (EAN) code to ensure authenticity.

The discounted price advantages are based on the recommended retail price (RRP) published by the information center for medicinal products (IFA GmbH).

The non-binding retail price (RRP) is the price that the manufacturer specifies as the recommended retail price for the end customer. It only represents a price orientation.

Since there are only two of us, there are no hierarchical levels to overcome. Everything is clearly regulated and structured. This gives you as a customer the enormous advantage that we can act extremely flexibly. We can respond to your individual customer requests and decide directly without consultation. In addition, we can deliver very quickly because we buy the goods ourselves and know exactly when, where and how we will receive them. Unlike trading companies, which among other things have to do justice to their shareholders, we are not heavily dependent on large margins and can therefore compete well on price. You don't have to call a hotline that only connects you to an automated system and then dial a number on your phone and hope that you eventually reach someone, nor do you have to settle for a chatbot with us. Every communication is handled by a real human. With us you always reach a real person who is ready to help you. With us, praise and criticism reach the right contact person and, as far as possible, are taken into account appropriately. Ordered goods are packed by a reliable fulfillment service provider and not by robots.

We aim to deliver quality goods and to ensure this we only source our products from trusted and certified retailers worldwide. If we can achieve good purchase prices, we will of course be happy to pass them on to you. As a rule, our prices remain stable and are only subject to customary market adjustments.

According to EU directives, cosmetic products within the EU must have an expiry date if their shelf life is no longer than 30 months. For products with a shelf life of more than 30 months, the symbol of an opened cream jar with a statement such as "12M" is used instead. In this example, "12M" represents 12 months of usage. Similarly, "6M" stands for 6 months, etc. Single-use packaging that is immediately consumed in its entirety is exempt from such markings.

By using our Wishlist, you have the ability to save products to a list without buying them right away. You can then add the saved products to your shopping cart and purchase them later if you wish.
