Your beauty in our hands. Based in Aachen, Germany, BABOR Cosmetics is the leading, professionally sold and recommended skincare system in Continental Europe and recognized as one of the most trusted brands in the industry today. Combining its European botanical tradition with leading edge technology, BABOR’s skincare and cosmetics line encompasses a wide range of systems designed to offer innovative solutions and luxurious treatments to suit the needs of its diversified customer base. Each system is carefully developed and vigorously tested in BABOR’s own laboratories in Germany to produce benefits with proven effectiveness for every skin type and condition.

The BABOR skincare systems are based on the two key skin characteristics: skin type and skin conditions.

• The skin type is genetically determined - like a fingerprint and never changes. BABOR distinguishes between dry skin, oily skin, combination skin and blemished skin.
• The skin condition is influenced by modern living conditions such as stress, emotional strain and environmental factors, irrespective of the skin type. BABOR distinguishes between sensitive skin, stressed skin, mature skin and stressed skin/skin in need of regeneration

Thanks to the unprecedented growth of Sephora stores across the US, lines like Babor are finding new markets and clients coast-to-coast. What used to be available only in salons, has finally reached retail market shelves. Babor, a technologically sophisticated line, should have no problem finding its way into American women’s hearts. Clients of Babor stay loyal to its luxurious textures and unbeatable results. Key ingredients like active yeast from champagne, rich macadamia nut oil, vitamins A, E and C, plus marine-based collagen and plant-derived ceramides make Babor one of the most coveted lines in the world. Babor was founded by Dr. Michael Babor in 1956 Germany. Dr. Babor, a biochemist, is credited with developing a revolutionary concept in skin care, hydrophilic (water-soluble) oils. By researching and analyzing formulas, Dr. Babor was one of the first biochemists to enrich skin care products with natural plant extracts and vitamins. In 1961, Babor Cosmetics was purchased by Dr. Leo Vossen, whose daughter, Jutta Kleine-Tebbe, herself an esthetician who has trained throughout Europe, is the current principle owner of the company. Under their leadership, Babor has become one of the most successful skin and body care companies in Europe. Research for Babor is conducted through Babor’s laboratories, universities in Europe, and by an international team of dermatologists.

All products are produced under pharmaceutical guidelines and are dermatologist and allergy-tested. Babor does no animal testing.

There’s something about champagne - that promise of luxury, that air of indulgence. But who knew it could make you beautiful too? The Selection Babor line features champagne yeast extracts (Glutathione) which provide the unique nourishing, regenerating and revitalizing effects of Selection’s products. Other active ingredients are shea butter, macadamia nut oil, corn germ oil and hyaluronic acid — substances which nourish, soften and smooth the complexion. Konjac Mannan, a plant from Asia, draws moisture to the skin and helps maintain its balance, while vegetable ceramides enhance the active ingredients.

This first class skin treatment activates and stimulates the skin’s metabolism while protecting it from the harmful effects of the environment.  To find the treatment best for you, use the Babor selection on their website for your type of skin care concerns.

Drawbacks of Babor Skin Care Products

Bottom Line:

These products are marketed towards estheticians and professionals in the beauty profession. There was no scientific documentation on the effectiveness of their “all-natural” products for consumers who may want to purchase the products. They do claim that the ingredients in their product, Skinbiotics®, “moisturize the skin and provide anti-aging actions.

We contacted Babor for a list of spa locations, however they did not respond as of the time of this publication.  Best to find a Babor spa near you and experience the products and request samples to see how effective it will be for you prior to purchase.
