LevensESSENTIE Gold™
Our LevensESSENTIE Gold ™ (meaning "Essence of Life") is formulated to balance the skin, hair and body using botanical ingredients found in Mother Nature to restore the balance and vitality of your skin. This 22-herbs extract is used in all Paul Penders’ products and is a traditional family extract made by Paul’s grandmother, who used it about 100 years ago for her salon customers. In effect, the unique blend of LevensESSENTIE Gold ™ creates a balance for the skin and restores its health and vitality.
Our vision is similar to the traditional principle of Ayurveda. It is the science of life: the Sanskrit words ‘Ayur’ means 'life' and 'veda' means related to knowledge. Ayurvedic literature can be first found in the Vedic period of Ancient India. It’s described as a natural medicinal system that treats and promotes a healthy mind, body and soul.
