Alpine Botanicals & the Susanne Kaufmann Approach to Timeless Skin
At Susanne Kaufmann, we believe that ageing is a natural process to be embraced, not fought.
Our philosophy is grounded in supporting the skin’s evolving needs so it can remain radiant, resilient, and full of vitality at every stage of life. With more than 20 years dedicated to skin health, Susanne Kaufmann has pioneered a holistic approach that blends Alpine botanicals with cutting-edge science — a partnership that lies at the heart of our new Advanced Anti-Ageing Rich Cream.
“With the Advanced Anti-Ageing Rich Cream, I wanted to create a formula that supports the skin’s evolving needs. After more than 20 years dedicated to skin health, I’ve learned that true longevity comes from prevention, not correction. By combining the power of nature with scientific innovation, this cream delivers exactly what the skin needs to stay radiant and resilient over time.’’ - Susanne Kaufmann, Founder
The Power of Our Alpine Ingredients
High in the Austrian Alps, plants must adapt to dramatic shifts in climate to survive. This resilience makes Alpine botanicals extraordinary for skincare. Over centuries, they have developed exceptional regenerative properties and natural defence systems that also support our skin’s resilience and help it thrive under stress.
Our Alpine botanical blend brings together five powerful plants, each with its own story and unique benefits:
- Marsh mallow root: Traditionally used in herbal medicine across the Alpine region, marsh mallow root is prized for its soothing and softening qualities. Its mucilage-rich composition helps skin retain moisture, easing dryness and leaving the complexion supple and calm.
- St John’s Wort: Known locally as “the sunshine herb,” this bright yellow flower blooms during the long Alpine summer days. It has been valued for centuries for its ability to support healing and reduce inflammation. In our formula, St John’s Wort helps repair and strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing resilience over time.
- Chamomile flower: A symbol of calm and comfort, chamomile has long been a staple in Alpine wellness rituals, from herbal teas to soothing compresses. Its antioxidant-rich extract eases redness and irritation, while gently nurturing even the most sensitive skin.
- Sage leaf: A traditional Alpine staple, sage was often planted in village gardens to promote longevity and protection. Rich in essential oils and phenolic acids, it helps regulate oil production, purify the skin, and shield it from environmental stressors.
- Yarrow extract: Found growing wild across Alpine meadows, yarrow has been used since ancient times to stimulate circulation and encourage healing. Its regenerative properties make it a powerful ally for skin renewal, improving vitality and promoting a radiant, even-toned complexion.
Together, this blend is more than the sum of its parts: it is a living expression of Alpine resilience, captured in every bottle.

Alpine Botanicals and Scientific Innovation in Anti-Ageing Skincare
While Alpine plants provide the foundation, Susanne Kaufmann’s formulations are elevated with scientifically proven actives to address visible signs of ageing. The Advanced Anti-Ageing Rich Cream pairs the botanical blend with a triple-peptide complex, sunflower sprout extract, and ectoin.
This fusion of nature and science reflects our belief that true skin longevity is built on prevention, not correction. By supporting skin health holistically, we help the skin remain strong and radiant over time rather than chasing quick fixes.

The Perfect Pairing to Support the Skin
For optimal results, we recommend pairing the new Advanced Anti-Ageing Rich Cream with our bestselling Nutrient Serum. Both are powered by Alpine actives that work synergistically to support skin health and resilience at every level.
While the Nutrient Serum delivers an intensive boost of hydration and essential minerals, preparing and strengthening the skin barrier, the Advanced Anti-Ageing Rich Cream follows with a luxuriously rich texture, sealing in nourishment while delivering firming, smoothing, and restorative benefits.
Together, they create a complete ritual: the serum replenishes and primes, while the cream locks in active ingredients and provides lasting comfort. Infused with Alpine botanicals, this pairing ensures the skin is not only visibly smoother and firmer, but also more resilient and radiant over time.
A Holistic Approach to Healthy Ageing
Susanne Kaufmann’s deep connection to her Alpine roots informs every formula. Sustainability, efficacy, and respect for the natural ageing process underpin the brand’s ethos. Rather than masking ageing, our aim is to empower the skin to thrive — ensuring lasting comfort, hydration, and vitality.
The Advanced Anti-Ageing Rich Cream is a celebration of both Alpine heritage and scientific innovation. With 99.2% ingredients from natural origin, it embodies our commitment to efficacy, sustainability, and holistic wellness.
By harnessing the regenerative properties of Alpine botanicals and combining them with proven actives, Susanne Kaufmann continues to redefine how we approach skin longevity — honouring the natural ageing process while supporting the skin to stay strong and radiant for years to come.
