They are natural, handmade and not tested on animals. They do not contain parabens and other preservatives and the Achae brand closed them in the biodegradable packages.

Achae are Polish, natural and handmade cosmetics. They are made only of natural ingredients of the highest quality. They do not contain parabens and other conservatives, artificial oils, odors and other chemical substances. The used ingredients are carefully selected and come from different parts of world that guarantee their highest quality. What is the most important – Achae does not test on animals (any of the ingredients is not tested as well) and cares not to harm the environment.

In the brand offer you can find balms, scrubs and body butter as well as the balms and lip scrubs. Inside the cosmetics you can find, among others:

Coffee Robusta Seed Powder has a wonderful scent that gives you energy, but not only that. The most precious ingredient of coffee is caffeine that fights the aging process and leads to weight loss. The caffeine stimulates the blood circulation, thanks to which the cells are better nourished and the oxygen reaches them more quickly. It enhances the skin quality, the imperfections are visibly reduced  and the cellulite is eliminated. The process of burning the coffee seeds have influence on the caffeine content. Achae takes care that the seeds are less burned than in case of a drinking coffee thanks to which the caffeine content in our coffee is much higher.

The pink Himalayan salt (Sodium Chloride) comes from Himalaya. It is a result of drying off the ocean that used to flood those regions millions years ago. It was crystallized when the air was free from all kinds of pollutions, that is why it is so precious. Thanks to the traditional methods of its extracting – rinsing and drying in the sun – it did not lose its variety of minerals. The salt softens, smoothens and firms the skin.

The brown cane sugar (Sucrose) is perfect as an abrasive material because of its structure. It helps getting rid of the calloused skin, smoothens and gives the even healthy colour to the skin, it opens the glands and pores, it perfectly cleans and dissolves the dead cells. Its cosmetic use is mostly scrubbing. Massaging the skin with sugar stimulates blood circulation and supplies the cells with oxygen. The cane sugar does not irritate the skin and is not allergic.

The oil from sweet almonds (Pronus Amygdalus Dulcis) is also called the almond oil. It comes from the seeds of an almond tree. What is interesting, it does not smell like almonds, it is very subtle and almost insensible. Thanks to the vitamin content and its structure it is a valuable component of cosmetics. It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it leaves a delicate and light film on the skin that protects it from the moisture loss.

Orange oil (Citrus Auranium Dulcis Oil) comes from the fruit peels of the sweet orange trees. It is antiseptic to the skin. It helps reducing cellulite. It also rebuilds the glare of the grey tired skin. The products based on the orange oil are recommended for the oily skin. Its scent relaxes and relieves tension.

Cinnamon oil (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Leaf Oil) is used in cosmetics for centuries. The cinnamon was  appreciated already in the antiquity. In Egypt they used it to embalm corpses and as an incense. They were adding it also to the aromatic ointments. The oil is extracted from the cinnamon bark, it has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it prevents imperfections and smoothens the skin. Unfortunately, people with the sensitive skin should not use the products based on the cinnamon oil because it may irritate the skin.
