What do you mean with 'scientifically proven effective ingredients'?

At DHIST’L we are keen on developing formulas which are clean. Therefore, we do not make use of nasty stuff such as parabens, silicone, phenoxyethanol, sodium lauryl sulfate, artificial coloring, polyethylene glycol, petrochemical additives, diethanolamine, imidazolinidyl urea, mineral oils, nano- and micro-particles, etc…

What do you mean with 'no nasties'?

Are there allergens in your product?

As experienced increasingly by dermatologists, more and more people are showing allergenic reactions to the 26 substances listed in Annex III of the EU Cosmetic Regulation (such as linalool, limonene, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, etc). These are often used to add a fragrance to a cosmetic product in a natural way. As part of the product development at DHIST’L, we make a conscious choice not to add allergens appearing on that list.

Do you have perfume in your product?

At DHIST’L we have made a conscious choice not to add allergens, often used to add a fragrance to the product in a natural way. We have opted for a sustainable, hypoallergenic, subtle parfum, adding to your daily skin experience.

How comes the colour of the Face Fluid is somewhat greyish-brownish?

At DHIST’L, we foster performance, without compromising on naturality or environment. Therefore, we choose not to add whitening substances, just to turn the product somewhat more white. In the DHIST’L Face Fluid, it is magnesium aluminum silicate, a naturally occurring clay, which is responsible for this appearance. The clay has a thickening function, so the fluid is fluid, still not too fluid

Why is there agave tequilana leaf extract in the Face Fluid?

Well spotted – and yes, blue agave is the one used in the production of Tequila. Here it serves as a natural astringent to tighten pores, and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
