Dear Readers,

RESEARCH & KNOWLEDGE

12 A GUIDE INTO THE FUTURE Our anti-aging line with white truffle is a gift for exacting women.

I am pleased to present the current issue of NATURAL WOMAN – 28 pages of wonderful topics and stories, for example about NATUROYALE SYSTEM BIOLIFTING. These products, which contain white truffle and botanical hyaluronic acid, have been part of our selection since 2001. The series is the culmination of the work of my mother-in-law Annemarie Lindner (1920–2016), who founded the ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND brand in 1959. She was especially fond of this line because it really showed the extraordinary results of her 50 years of experience in cosmetics. NATUROYALE SYSTEM BIOLIFTING has an amazing lifting effect; it tightens, smooths and moisturizes the skin.

That’s why for 16 years it’s been so successful for women with mature skin who seek visible improvement to their appearance in a short period of time. But you are right to ask: “What’s new about that? The series has been around for a long time.” It’s the moss green and gold colors of the packaging that are new. We were very brave to take this step, and we are thrilled with the results. Judge for yourself. Discover NATUROYALE’s fresh new look and learn more about our premium care line’s extraordinary ingredients, starting on page 12.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue.

PORTRAIT

Brilliant presentation Oscar award winner Natalie Portman is beautiful, smart and talented – and she fights for her vision.

S

he’s just 5 feet 3 inches tall. Delicate and small-boned, but with the gracious expression of a queen. Despite her small stature, Natalie Portman is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Early this year, we had yet another chance to see her in the movies, as former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy in the eponymous film “Jackie.” She was nominated for an Oscar as best actress in a leading role for it.

HER CINEMATIC CAREER STARTED AT A YOUNG AGE Now 35, Portman became internationally known at the age of 13 with the drama “Léon: The Professional.” In it, she plays a girl named

Mathilda who falls in love with a professional killer. In addition to her artistic gifts, Natalie Portman has always displayed discipline and a marked sense of ambition; in school, she was considered an outstanding pupil. Despite her youth, she played roles in large productions, including Tim Burton’s “Mars Attacks!” and Woody Allen’s musical film “Everyone Says I Love You.” At the age of just 18, she shined as Queen Amidala in “Star Wars.” Other films followed, like “V for Vendetta,” “My Blueberry Nights” and “Closer,” for which she was awarded a Golden Globe as best actress in a supporting role in 2005. She had completed her psychology degree at Harvard two years earlier.

Portman swept her second Golden Globe and her first Oscar in 2011 as a ballerina in the

CAREER. As a girl, Natalie Portman had a breakthrough role as Mathilda (right) in 1994.

Currently, she shines as Jackie Kennedy in the movie “Jackie” (left).

psychological thriller “Black Swan.”

She pushed herself relentlessly during filming. For months on end, her calendar was full of exhausting dance practice and strength training.

Portman, already slight, lost 20 pounds in order to float across the dance floor like a feather. “That was the first time I ever sensed what it means to get so absorbed in something that it completely wears you out,” she says.

Pure beauty

FIGHTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND ANIMAL PROTECTION But the Oscar wasn’t the only reward for her hard work. During filming, Natalie Portman also met ballet dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, to whom she has been married since 2012 and with whom she has two children, a 5-year-old son named Aleph and a daughter named Amalia, who was born in 2017. However, this Oscar winner and Harvard graduate doesn’t just display determination and dedication when she’s in front of the camera. In her private life, the American beauty with Israeli roots fights for her vision;

Vita

BREAKTHROUGH AT THIRTEEN JEWISH ROOTS Born in 1981, Natalie Portman and her parents, a physician and an artist, lived in Israel until she was three, and she grew up bilingual. In 1984 the family moved to the United States.

When she was eleven years old, the Revlon cosmetics company offered her a modeling job, but she turned it

down. Her acting career began with Luc Besson’s film “Léon: The Professional,” in which she played a hitman’s apprentice Mathilda alongside superstar Jean Reno.

DIRECTORIAL DEBUT The first film that Natalie Portman directed was set in Jerusalem, the city of her birth. It was a film version of Amos Oz’s autobiography “A Tale of Love and Darkness.” She herself played a leading role in the film, that of the depressive mother Fania.

Responsibility

70 PERCENT VEGAN RESPECT FOR ANIMALS AND NATURE More than a trend – many ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND products are vegan and are labeled accordingly. The company rigorously avoids animal testing and the use of raw ingredients from dead animals, relying instead on plant-based substances. For example, to highlight just one vegan active ingredient, our AQUANATURE moisturizer contains papyrus extract, which stimulates cell regeneration, strengthens the skin barrier and moisturizes.

she is considered one of the most committed prominent environmental activists. Natalie Portman has been a vegetarian since the age of eight.

It started when her father took her along to a medical convention, where she saw laser tests being performed on a chicken. The experience influenced her so strongly that she hasn’t eaten meat since then. After reading the book “Eating Animals” byJonathan Safran Foer, she announced in 2009, long before the vegan lifestyle

emerged as a trend, that she was switching to veganism. Eggs and dairy products were only on her menu during her pregnancies. She campaigns passionately for the active protection of animals and species; most recently, she traveled through the rainforests of Rwanda with a study program in order to observe endangered mountain gorillas for a documentary. But Portman’s rigorous rejection of all animal products doesn’t just apply to food. She is a committed vegan

when it comes to clothing and cosmetics as well. When choosing her skin care products, she makes sure they are manufactured without animal testing. And her preference is to put products made with organically grown plant extracts on her flawless skin. By the way, Natalie once even tested the waters as an environmentally conscious designer – with her own vegan shoe collection.

A small woman with a big attitude, and incredible inner strength.

BEAUTY MASKS

Cleansing, regenerating, invigorating, moisturizing, soothing and more – masks perform cosmetic magic.

W

hether light gels or rich creams, facial masks are an indispensable component of any beauty routine. A fast-paced, active lifestyle, and sun and environmental influences, all leave their mark on your face. Masks to the rescue!

They give you an extra bit of nurturing, which your skin doesn’t get every day, and they intensify your skin-type-based systematic approach to skin care.

A PAMPERING RITUAL WITH VISIBLE EFFECTS Indulging in this relaxing supplementary skin care ritual once or twice a week is ideal. Various factors determine which mask is suitable. In the summer, a light product is recommended, with hydration as the primary objective.

If your complexion has been exposed to intensive sunshine, a soothing mask will bring it back into balance.

In the winter, dry heated air and cold outside air are hard on the skin.

That’s why a richer mask is best for the cold months.

For any zone

MULTIMASKING TREND

THE SKIN’S NEEDS Dry cheeks, impurities on the nose and the beginnings of wrinkles around the eyes – different facial areas each have special requirements when it comes to skin care. Meeting those requirements means using cleansing and skin care products that are specific to individual skin type and the particular area of the face. For example, a rich mask can lead to pesky impurities when the T-zone is oily. Clarifying masks can remove moisture from already dry cheeks.

The solution is to apply various products with different ingredients at the same time, each one well-matched to the particular area. Multimasking, also called mask mixing, follows precisely this principle. This beauty trend is the ideal solution for addressing the skin’s needs in a targeted way. By combining different facial masks, each area receives just the right kind of love, resulting in a clear, well cared for complexion.

NATURAL WOMAN 01 — 2017

As a general rule, cleanse your skin thoroughly and exfoliate if desired before applying a mask. ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND’s enzyme exfoliator uses jojoba wax balls rather than mechanical particles. This naturally effective exfoliation, without microplastics, eliminates rough patches, clarifies your skin and brings fresh radiance to your complexion. It also opens your pores, allowing the mask’s effect to unfold optimally. Apply it to your cleansed facial skin using a make-up brush, applicator or fingers. It is important to avoid the eye area. If you wish, you can intensify the effect by placing a warm towel on your face.

INTENSIVE CARE AND WELL-BEING If your complexion needs freshening up, just reach for our cooling, smoothing HYDRO GEL MASK. It contains botanical hyaluronic acid, which plumps up fine lines and wrinkles caused by dryness. Let it take effect for ten minutes, and then remove it with warm water.

The same applies for the VITAMIN DUO MASK. It gives tired, dull skin a boost of energy. A cocktail of vitamins from goji, acai and sea buckthorn berries stimulates cell regeneration, and vitamin E from soy protects the skin from oxidative stress and premature skin aging.

Combination skin that tends to be oily will benefit from the clarifying and balancing effects

Some of the vegan intensive care masks may be left on the skin intentionally, with any “leftovers” being massaged in gently after giving the mask time to take effect.

This applies, for example, to the SENSITIVE CREAM MASK. Its combination of active ingredients, which includes currant seed oil and balloon vine extract, soothes irritation, tension and redness.

The ANTI-AGING CREAM MASK likewise does not need to be removed.

It stimulates cell regeneration using Szechuan pepper and pistachio oil, smoothing wrinkles perceptibly and effectively sharpening contours.

A nice side effect of all this fun with masks is that taking time out from everyday life is good for your soul.

Confidently groomed and inspired, exacting women know what they want. Cosmetics with active substances found only in nature.

hose who seek shall find – this truism applies well to Annemarie Lindner. Lindner, the founder of Börlind, who died in 2016, kept her pioneering spirit and courage until she reached a ripe old age, driving the implementation of new ideas in natural cosmetics with typical élan. It’s a quality that her son Michael Lindner also possesses.

No wonder he became intrigued when, while sampling a truffle dish in the

Piemont, he learned about the effect this member of the Tuber genus has on the skin. Could this rarity, so prized in haute cuisine, be useful in natural cosmetics as well? In the company’s laboratory in Calw, truffles, in a sophisticated combination with other active ingredients, was found to have smoothing, regenerating and firming effects. And thus was created the heart of the NATUROYALE systematic care series, an innovative biolifting complex made of white truffle extract, botanical hyaluronic acid and vitamins.

A TASTY, HIGHLY EFFECTIVE FUNGUS This premium line embodies Annemarie Lindner’s personality and visions especially well. The NATUROYALE

series was one of her pet projects.

The line represents the quintessence of her creative work. “It is my mother’s legacy to powerful women who desire a highly advanced natural beauty care,” explains Michael Lindner.

This is one of the reasons why the anti-aging NATUROYALE system of care has now been given a new look. The gentle green of the linden tree’s foliage is combined with a warm gold tone on the jars and dispensers.

The luxurious products are wrapped in delicate tissue paper printed with the leaf of the linden tree.

ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND’s products have for decades been decorated with this leaf, a reference to their botanical ingredients. The goal was to draw attention externally to the high quality of the formulations hidden within the packaging.

Innovation in natural cosmetics _

ANTI-AGING INNOVATION FROM THE EARTH The key to the line’s effectiveness is the biolifting complex that Börlind GmbH has developed, which combines selected natural ingredients with state-of-the-art knowledge from scientific research. The white truffle extract that is used stimulates cell regeneration and activates the skin’s own regeneration. Botanical hyaluronic acid forms a protective layer on the skin. Because it can bind to large amounts of water, it ensures intensive hydration of the skin from the inside.

Combined with vitamins, both substances smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, the individual products contain other anti-aging ingredients, like the sea daffodil in the NATUROYALE Serum. It reduces melanin production and helps to balance out hyperpigmentation naturally. Paracress extract, which strengthens the collagen network and stimulates cell division, is used in the day cream. In order to support connective tissue while you are sleeping and optimize collagen formation, the night cream contains

A new look

How did BÖRLIND GmbH come to work with truffles?

We were looking for luxury ingredients. We reject caviar out of principle, because of its animal origin. We had also thought about diamonds, but the best thing in haute cuisine is the truffle. It seemed fitting for this series.

_ What substances does it contain?

White truffle contains numerous amino acids and B vitamins. For example, vitamin B3, like retinol (vitamin A 1), builds up connective tissue and inhibits enzymes that break down collagen.

extract of white lupine. For lip and eye care, Szechuan pepper relaxes these sensitive areas of your face.

AN EFFECTIVE COMBINATION FOR YOUR COMPLEXION When used daily, the five products bring out a palpable and visible lifting effect. The skin very quickly becomes smoother, firmer and more hydrated,” explains Guylaine Le Loarer. “After 28 days we observed an 18 percent reduction in wrinkles with the day cream and a 15 percent increase in skin smoothness with the serum.

The depth of wrinkles decreased by 20 percent with the night cream, and the eye and lip contour cream led to a 15 percent increase in firmness.”

Proven, palpable effects as well as fragrance and silkiness are and remain the hallmarks of NATUROYALE, the luxurious way to care for exacting, mature skin. Annemarie Lindner’s legacy to all the powerful women of this world.

he water is right there, inviting you to jump in, and the mountains fill the horizon. What more could you want from a city? A visit to Zurich is definitely worth the trip, especially in the summer. And don’t forget to pack your bathing suit!

This metropolis is known for its many “Badis,” or swimming spots. The Limmat River, which winds through Zurich, and of course Lake Zurich offer many opportunities to cool down (2). And the best part is that in many “Badis,” the fun continues even after the sun sets, when they transform into bars. For example, the historic men’s swimming area called Rimini or the women’s beach on the Limmat, which

is called “Barfussbar” (“Barefoot Bar”) at night. Kreis 4 is a district filled with designer stores and numerous small restaurants, bars and clubs for those who like to go out. And if you’re weary from exploring this former red light district, a relaxing outing the next day on one of the Limmat ships might be just the ticket. These ships are part of the public transit network, and they go right through the city, passing under six bridges and an overpass out onto Lake Zurich (5).

The ships also pass through the oldest part of town, the “Schipfe,” which runs along the Limmat’s shores between the Rathausbrücke and Oetenbachgasse.

WORLDWIDE ZURICH

In medieval times, boats bringing silk, gold and foodstuffs to Zurich docked here. The name “Schipfe” comes from the Swiss German word “schupfen,” which refers to the action of “shoving” the boats into the water.

Above the Schipfe lies the Lindenhof.

For centuries, this plaza was where the people of Zurich assembled.

A late Roman fort once stood on this spot. Today, it’s a peaceful oasis with a fountain and shade trees, a place for people to play chess and for tourists to enjoy the view of the city and the lake. For more views, you can take the line 10 S-Bahn train up to the Uetliberg, with an elevation of

When the weather is good, you can even see the Alps from here.

ART INSTEAD OF BEER But even when it rains, you won’t get bored. On the one hand, there are many cafes, such as the legendary Grand Café Odeon at Bellevueplatz.

Einstein, James Joyce and Lenin once whiled away the hours here. On the other hand, Zurich is also one of the world’s most interesting cities when it comes to contemporary art. An artists’ center has been created on the formerly

derelict site once occupied by the Löwenbräu brewery. Here, you can saunter from one gallery to the next, all day long. The “Kunsthalle Zurich” and the “Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst” (Museum of Contemporary Art) are worthy destinations for those seeking even more inspiration. There’s also a lot to see, and upscale shopping, in the “Im Viadukt” area (3). Gourmet specialty shops, studios and fashion boutiques have moved in under the arches of an old elevated railway. In the center of the area there is also a market hall with a restaurant where farmers and tradespeople sell their wares, many of which

After all, sustainability is becoming increasingly important in Switzerland too. Local grocers notice this, and so do cosmetics distributors like Deurocos Cosmetic AG. Deurocos recently decided to include ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND products among its offerings. “Customers increasingly ask

for products that are manufactured in an environmentally friendly way with certified active ingredients,” says Claudia Duff, Sales Manager at Deurocos Cosmetic (7). ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND meets these criteria, says Duff, and Deurocos is pleased about the collaboration: “Since 1959, this brand has stood for modern,

believe I’m speaking for many women when I say that cosmetics are an exciting topic. Skin care is a part of our everyday lives and helps us glow from within and from without.

Beautiful skin contributes to our self-confidence and well-being. For me as a blogger, feeling good in my skin is especially important. I am in front of the camera almost every day, and the more beautiful I feel, the brighter my eyes and my smile are.

Because I’ve had atopic dermatitis since I was born, my skin has always needed a lot of attention. Often it was not easy, but as I grew older I learned to deal with it, and slowly but surely I found a routine that works for me personally. For years, it has included natural cosmetics from ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND. So it was high time for me and my sensitive skin to pay a visit to the brand’s NATURAL BEAUTY SPA in the Black Forest.

RELAX On the thermal sand bed, the stress of the day quickly leaves me.

EVERY ROOM FULL OF NATURE Responsible treatment of nature is a firm component of the company’s philosophy, and this is palpable everywhere in the spa, which was opened in 2016. Living Icelandic moss on the wall, roots in the lobby and posts made of 300-year-old oak are just a few examples.

After my initial positive impression, a perfect consultation with Gabi Fenchel, the spa’s director, is the icing on the cake. Right away, I feel completely at ease. In addition to eight facial treatments tailored to each individual’s particular skin type, there are three body treatments and various types of massage.

My highlight: 30 minutes on the thermal sand bed. Reclining on 180 kilograms of quartz sand with soft music in the background, the stress of everyday life vanishes in just a few minutes.

MOISTURIZATION TO GO Dryness from my atopic dermatitis is my biggest skin problem. Especially during the winter months, sufficient moisturization is absolutely necessary. I accidentally stumbled upon ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND’s BEAUTY SHOTS about two years ago, and I immediately fell in love with the HYDRO BOOSTER. I always welcome products that hydrate, and after using this one for the first time, it was already clear that we were going to be good friends.

Botanical hyaluronic acid from Chinese jelly fungus moisturizes and smooths, while the HYDRO BOOSTER’S texture is especially pleasant on my skin and has a soothing effect. Especially when I travel, I always have BEAUTY SHOTS in my luggage – sort of like a Natural Beauty Spa to go!
