In an elegant award ceremony that was held on the 29th of April 2014, DOCTOR BABOR NEUROSENSTIVE CELLUAR was presented with the Danish Beauty Award in the category “Series of the Year”. The Danish Beauty Award is one of the most desirable prizes to win in the beauty business and brings industry VIPs and celebrities to the red carpet in Copenhagen. “We couldn’t be happier”, says Jonas Markou, CEO of The Northern Beauty Company – BABOR’s partner in Denmark. “We are extremely proud to win in this important category. BABOR and The Northern Beauty Company is a perfect match and this award proves it.”

DOCTOR BABOR NEUROSENSTIVE CELLULAR is a specialist skin care product range for extra-sensitive and dry skin. In co-operation with leading scientists and dermatologists, BABOR has developed a blend of active, neuro-cosmetic ingredients that break through the itch-scratch cycle prominent in sensitive skin while gently nourishing this delicate skin type.
Consisting of four high-tech, yet sensitive products it takes care of very specific skin demands offering relief for many who have suffered from their irritated skin. “The BABOR HQ received thank-you letters stating that the DOCTOR BABOR NEUROSENSTIVE CELLULAR is the only product range that could finally put a stop to their itching skin concerns.

Do cellulite creams work?

Whilst DOCTOR BABOR BODY CELLULAR Ultimate 3D Cellulite Lotion is the most intensive cellulite cream we’ve ever produced (a formulation that speeds up the process of breaking down cellulite and improves the overall feel and tone of your skin) it still needs to be combined with a healthy diet and effective exercise plan.

BABOR asked a panel of testers to try  the outstanding Ultimate 3D Cellulite Lotion and this is what they had to say: 

 “Despite being dubious about the effectiveness at first, the product did have a noticeable effect as the weeks progressed and cellulite was visibly reduced. Having seen the results, I plan to buy more when the tube runs out”

“After 8 weeks there was a visible reduction in the appearance of my cellulite. As I’m impressed with the results so far, I am determined to continue using the product in conjunction with the exercises”

“After 8 weeks I could see an improvement in the appearance of my cellulite and I’m pleased with the overall condition of my skin after use”

BABOR has put together a proven 8 week anti-cellulite programme which achieves excellent results due to the combination of a targeted skincare routine and exercise. The exercises are easy and can be performed any time at home or in the gym.



Anti-Cellulite Workout

REPEAT DAILY FOR 8 WEEKS

1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart and your arms stretched out in front of you. Bend your knees slowly, keeping your back straight. Tense your buttocks and stomach. Repeat 10 times.

2. From a standing position, take a big step forward, keeping your back straight. Bend your back leg at the knee. Hold this position briefly, then return to the starting position. Complete the exercise with one leg, then switch legs.

BABOR organizes auctions to support clean water


Christine Wild, Jutta Kleine-Tebbe, 
Camille Niel, Thorsten Helmes
BABOR gave 6000 Euro to the humanitarian organization Solidarités International based in Paris, France. As BABOR is re-launching its cleansing product series the company had organized two auctions in which it sold various pieces of art that deal with the theme water to its international customers. The auctions took place during the company’s international conferences in Vienna, Austria, and Belek, Turkey, which brought together more than 300 of BABOR’s most important clients. The auction proceeds are going to support Solidarités International, an organization that is dedicated to bringing people clean drinking water all around the world. “Water is source for all life. In Europe we often take for granted that it is clean and just always there”, explains Jutta Kleine-Tebbe, BABOR chairwoman of the board of administration. On January 17th, she personally handed over the cheque to Camille Niel of Solidarités International during her visit to BABOR’s headquarter in Aachen.

The re-launch of BABOR’s cleansing product line also gives a BABOR classic a facelift. The HY-OIL, an unique 2-phase cleansing product, was developed in 1956 by Dr. Michael BABOR, laying the foundation of the company. Back then it was revolutionary, today legendary, cleansing the skin in a sensitive yet thorough way, enabling the skin to take best use of active ingredients.

BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush The art of cleansing reaches perfection


The art of cleansing reaches perfection

At BABOR, facial cleansing has always been the first step to beauty. That may not come as a surprise considering the first product developed more than 50 years ago by the company’s founder, Dr. Michael Babor, was a cleansing product, namely the legendary HY-ÖL®.
The tradition of cleansing has now been tuned to a new vibe, or to be more precise, to 10,000 fine vibrations. 

BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush
The BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush creates good vibration with extra-fine, soft bristles, ending off the cleansing ritual with BABOR’s classic product HY-ÖL®.
In the first phase, the precious oils in HY-ÖL® cleanse the skin. In the next phase, a Phytoactive herbal complex that is specially tailored to the individual skin type is added to the HY-ÖL® and moistened with water. This creates a gentle cleansing emulsion which, when combined with the Sonic vibrations and the soft, extra-fine bristles of the BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush, has an even deeper cleansing action. Finally, rinse off the emulsion with plenty of water and enjoy the good vibrations!


The deep-pore cleansing principle: the 120,000 oscillating bristles on the BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush can even reach uneven pores with ease to remove dirt particles deep down in the skin– in just one minute.
