A few weeks ago I was at the press presentation of two very beautiful brands, Elementary Skincare from Webecos and UNG Cosmetics. This press presentation was given in the Green Room of The Conscious Club in Amsterdam. This day Webecos showed an impressive range of skin care and skin improvement products based on pure ingredients. The colorful UNG Cosmetics was demonstrated by Master makeup artist and Beauty expert Amanda Rijff.
Webecos
The Dutch brand Webecos was born from the philosophy that our skin needs elemental substances to maintain its optimum health and vitality. Based on this idea, an impressive range of skin care and skin improvement cosmetics, better known as Elementary Skincare©, has emerged. Since its founding in 1962, production and quality control have been under the strict supervision of pharmacists. This pharmaceutical philosophy is in the Webecos DNA and can be found in every jar, tube and vial.
The elements as inspiration
Everything on earth consists of one or more of the 118 elements. Our body, too. We consist of two thirds of water, the remaining part of around forty other elements. Our skin also needs elemental substances to remain optimally healthy and vital. With that in mind, cosmetologist Len Klaphaak developed Elementary Skincare© from Webecos almost sixty years ago. Webecos is the first “cosmeceutic” brand in the Netherlands.
Pure nature
Everything Webecos develops, comes from their own box and added nothing superfluous in production. The active ingredients used come almost exclusively from natural sources, creating skin-friendly cosmetics with therapeutic levels of plant substances, herbal extracts, essential fatty acids, botanical oils, vitamins, minerals, pure essential oils and antioxidants.
Kind to the skin
With Elementary Skincare©, Webecos offers not only an extensive range for the professional salon, but also products for home use. Whether you are looking for cleaning products, peels, masks, serums, bodywashes or suncare, Elementary Skincare© offers fair cosmetics with high concentrations of natural ingredients, gentle preservation and natural fragrances. All ingredients are kind to the skin, so that allergic reactions almost never occur. All products are also pleasant to use, with supple textures that melt easily and quickly release their active substances into deeper skin layers. And because natural fragrances are preferably used, they also smell nice.
From Classics to Super innovations
The Elementary Skincare© line from Webecos consists of more than 100 products. In addition to classics such as the Vitavocol hydrating emulsion, the line also contains products with striking and effective ingredients such as Myoxinol – a vegetable peptide with a botox-like effect from the hibiscus plant – and Azulene, a chamomile component with a calming and anti-inflammatory effect.
Caviar
I’m particularly curious about the Caviar Age Defense line. Caviar has rejuvenating properties and this line is ideal for normal to dry skin and the first lines.
Unboxing
Unboxing of extremely fine products, I especially like the Reviving Detox Creamy Cleanser.
The highlights of Elementary Skincare
HYDRACELL-1 BEAUTY CREAM – A VELVETY CREAM FOR EVERY SKIN TYPE
The basis of a well-hydrated skin is a healthy hydrolipid film, a strong skin barrier and a high capacity of the epidermis to bind water. Hydracell-1 Beauty cream contains a hydro complex that works on these three skin systems. Hydracell-1 Beauty cream is a velvety soft cream that is suitable for all skin types, including young skin and damaged and sensitive skin. The ingredient Betaglucan – a chain of molecules that occurs in the cell walls of plants – forms a layer on the skin that prevents water evaporation and thereby promotes skin hydration. It stimulates the production of collagen and softens the skin. The Persea Gratissima (avocado oil) contains many omega-3 fatty acids, which stimulate skin hydration. Recommended retail price: € 29.90 (50 ml)
VITACELL-1 ENERGIZING CREAM 50 ML – LET THE SKIN RADIATE AGAIN
Vitacell-1 Energizing cream has been specially developed for dull and tired skin. This 24-hour care is rich in vitamins and antioxidants that refresh and rejuvenate the skin. The ingredients in this cream, including grape seed oil, avocado oil, glycerin, beltwrack, calendula oil and the moisturizing hyaluronic acid, hydrate the skin and protect against free radicals. Recommended retail price: € 37.40 (50 ml)
REVER-ESSENCE-1 ANTI WRINKLE & RESCULPTING CREAM – RETURN THE CLOCK
This luxury cream helps to reduce skin sagging and to strengthen the firmness and elasticity of the skin. It stimulates the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid: the most important compounds that keep a skin youthful. The phytosterols give the volume, structure and relaxed feeling of young skin. Recommended retail price: € 49.90 (50 ml)
REVER-ESSENCE LIP CONTOUR CREAM RE-PLUMPING – A NATURAL FILLER
New in the line of Rever-Essence is the Lip Contour cream re-plumping; a special contour filler for beautiful and full lips, which also softens the fine lines around the mouth. The Lip Contour cream counteracts signs of skin aging and gives a true boost. Together with the peptides, the hyaluron filler ensures that the lips and the contour become firmer and fuller. Rever-Essence Lip Contour cream has a light texture and absorbs well. Recommended retail price: € 29.90 (15 ml)
REVIVING DETOX LINE – FOR A RADIANT, HEALTHY SKIN
Reviving Detox activates the detoxification process and the recovery process so that the skin can recover and renew faster.
The line consists of:
Reviving Detox Cleanser A creamy cleansing cream that cleanses and refreshes the skin. Contains a small grain for daily exfoliation of the skin, to optimally keep cell renewal and to prevent skin aging. Recommended retail price: € 24.90 (100 ml)
Reviving Detox Toner A wonderfully scented toner with a handy spray to refresh and balance the skin. Contains Aloe vera that has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect and hydrates the skin. Recommended retail price: € 15.40 (100 ml)
Reviving Detox Fluid A light fluid that repairs and renews the skin after UV damage. The added Bellis perennis extract (daisy flowers) reduces age spots and hyper pigmentation. Recommended retail price: € 39.90 (50 ml)
Reviving Detox & Repair Moisturizer This cream is an excellent addition to the Detox treatment. The moisturizing cream is very suitable for use in the summer months when the skin is exposed to a lot of sunlight. Then apply a high sun factor (minimum SPF 30) over the cream. Recommended retail price: € 49.90 (50 ml)

UNG Cosmetics
The right makeup underlines your personality and emphasizes your strengths. With a beautiful assortment of sleek makeup, highly pigmented colors and high-quality formulas, the Dutch cosmetic brand UNG helps you to emphasize your strengths and enhance your natural beauty. To make you shine even more! So many women, so many colors “The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you” – this powerful statement by Coco Chanel perfectly expresses the ideas of UNG. Every woman is different, there is no uniform definition of beauty. The world looks more beautiful thanks to all those different appearances of feminine beauty. UNG wants to emphasize the individual beauty of every woman. How? With an impressive basic assortment of 40 lipstick colors, more than 100 eye shadow variations and 20 foundation variants. In addition to the extensive basic range, UNG offers a wonderful collection of beauty tools and the brand publishes a seasonal collection twice a year, in order to optimally respond to the trends of that moment. With respect for the environment UNG is the word for “young” in all Scandinavian languages and stems from the love for Scandinavian design. Simple, beautiful use of materials, with an eye for detail and feeling for this time. Just like our cosmetics. UNG contributes to a positive creative world, but also contributes to a better world. For example, UNG doesn’t use animal testing, it reduces the use of raw materials and carefully monitors the origin of pigments. For example, no mica is used where child labor was used for extraction.
