Organic guarana – a wake-up call for your skin
Being a natural “stimulant”, guarana is now considered a genuine alternative to coffee: granted, the “wakey-wakey” effect kicks in a little later than with your favourite hot brown beverage, however, it does last for up to 8 hours. Thus, guarana can (provided taken in the correct dose!) be the perfect companion on stress-filled workdays, when preparing for exams or as part of a hectic daily routine. Thanks to the caffeine content, the organic extract also provides a real kick of freshness in lavera Naturkosmetik products.
The jungle is its homeland
The Paullinia cupana, a climbing plant from the soapberry family, can grow up to 12 metres tall. This pro-climber loves symbiosis: it clings on passionately as it climbs over trees or rocks and is therefore known as the “caffeine vine” in its native region. Because its seeds resemble eyes, the plants are also referred to as “the eye of the rainforest”. In its native Amazon region, the seeds of this climbing plant have been made into a paste for centuries, and used as a food additive and natural remedy. This paste, which consists of the peeled, dried, roasted and ground seeds and water, was named after the native people of the Amazon region, the "Guaraní”.
