Jessica Alba uses our hand masks

Jessica Alba uses our hand masks The world-famous actress Jessica Alba, with over 20 million followers on Instagram, also known for her roles in blockbusters and as a celebrated entrepreneur, used our Tal hand masks in an Instagram video for the Baby2Baby Gala. How she came to do this remains a mystery to us too. When we found out about it, we were slightly surprised and at the same time proud of this happy circumstance. Hollywood glamour meets Swiss tradition The Instagram video shows Jessica Alba preparing for a gala. An unexpected but impressive eye-catcher: her hands are pampered with our Tal hand masks during styling - a product that provides intensive moisturising care and innovative comfort at the same time. While Alba wears the masks, she orders via Uber Eats on her mobile phone, which is why the masks get extra attention in the video. Our Tal skincare products have been established in Switzerland for decades. In recent years, we have stepped up our export activities. These efforts now seem to have reached Hollywood. @jessicaalba Last one 😜 #GRWM #Glam #Baby2Baby #Gala ♬ Mamushi (feat. Yuki Chiba) - Megan Thee Stallion From the farm to Hollywood In the early days, almost 50 years ago, our hand creams were developed not least for the farmers from Graubünden, who regularly reported dry and cracked hands in the local drugstores. Almost 50 years later, a Hollywood star now uses Tal skin care products. This shows that quality and innovation can conquer the world. Buy now

Not all water is the same!

Not all water is the same When it comes to skincare, the quality of the ingredients takes centre stage. One of the key elements is water - or more precisely, the purity of water. With Tal MED Dermatopic Hand Cream, we go one step further: drinking water, straight from the source - more precisely, from the Allegra spring, from Malix in Graubünden. But why is pure water so important in skin care products such as Tal MED Dermatopic? And how does our skin benefit from this essential ingredient? In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the benefits of pure water in skincare products and explain why it plays a crucial role when choosing a hand cream. Pure water: the foundation of skincare Water is a key ingredient in many skincare products, and for good reason. It not only serves as a carrier for other active ingredients, but also has numerous skin-caring properties itself. The quality of the water is crucial. Pure water, such as the Allegra spring water used in Tal MED Dermatopic, offers significant advantages over conventional water: 1. avoidance of skin irritationPolluted water can cause irritation or allergies on sensitive skin. Pure water, on the other hand, is free from harmful substances and ensures that the skin is protected and no undesirable reactions occur 2. Optimum hydrationPure water ensures that the skin cell is deeply moisturised and thus helps to maintain the skin's natural moisture content. Well-hydrated skin is more resilient and looks healthier. 3. improved absorption of active ingredientsWater acts as an ideal carrier for other ingredients in a cream. Pure water enables the skin to better absorb nourishing active ingredients - such as vitamins, minerals and lipids - and to develop their full effect. 4. skin soothingMany skin conditions such as redness, dryness or eczema can be alleviated by soothing moisture. Pure water has a natural soothing effect on the skin, making it an ideal base for creams for sensitive skin. Allegra Water: What makes it special? The Allegra Water used in Tal MED Dermatopic is a wonderfully natural mineral water. This pure water forms the basis for the soothing and protective effect of the cream, especially for people with dry and sensitive skin. Conclusion: Pure water as the key to healthy skinChoosing a skincare product with pure water, such as Tal MED Dermatopic with Allegra Water, is a wise decision for anyone who values gentle but effective skincare. Pure water supports the skin in its natural functions, provides intensive moisturisation and makes the skin feel pleasant and non-greasy. Especially for sensitive skin, the use of pure water is a decisive factor for skin health. With Tal MED Dermatopic, your skin not only receives the protection it needs, but also the extra portion of care it deserves - based on pure Allegra water. Buy now

Skin care and animal welfare in one!

Skin care and animal welfare in one! Today, 4 October 2024, is World Animal Day - a day that reminds us how important it is to respect and protect animals. However, animal welfare should not only be a focus on one day a year, but should be considered in our daily decisions all year round. According to the website of the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office, over 700,000 animals were used for animal testing in Switzerland in 2023. Tal skin care products are deliberately not tested on animals, and for good reason. Why does Tal focus on animal-free cosmetics? There are many companies in the cosmetics industry that still rely on animal testing to test the tolerability of their products. However, thanks to innovative research and state-of-the-art technologies, animal testing is no longer necessary. Tal is a pioneer when it comes to animal-free skincare - out of respect for animals and out of conviction that there are better alternatives. 1. respect for lifeEvery living being has the right to an intact life. Animal testing is often associated with great suffering for the animals involved. At Tal, not only the health of the skin but also the welfare of animals is our top priority. That is why neither raw materials nor finished products are tested on animals. For Tal, this is a matter of course and an expression of respect for nature and all living creatures. 2. innovative test methodsThanks to scientific advances, there are now many alternative methods that do not involve animal suffering and at the same time deliver excellent results. In vitro testing and computerised simulations are examples of modern technologies that can be used to test skincare products safely and effectively. These methods are not only animal-free, but are often more accurate and reliable than traditional animal testing. 3. conscious consumer choicesMore and more customers are attaching importance to ethical and sustainable products. For many, it is a decisive criterion that their care products have been developed without animal suffering. Tal favours transparency and gives you the certainty that your decision in favour of skincare is also a decision in favour of animal welfare. We do not use questionable ingredients and ensure high quality standards - without the use of animal testing. Skin care that protects people and animals On World Animal Day in particular, we realise how important it is to pay attention to the welfare of animals. Our products show that beauty, well-being and responsibility can go hand in hand.

Skin care for teenagers

Skin care for teenagers Puberty brings with it many changes - both physical and emotional. One of the most visible changes concerns the skin. Many teenagers struggle with skin problems such as spots, blackheads or oily skin during this challenging time. But don't worry: with the right skincare routine and suitable products, you can support your skin and get skin problems under control. In this blog post, we explain which skincare products are particularly important for teenagers, which ingredients have proven effective and what you can do if skin problems occur. 1. understand your skin type Before you put together a skincare routine, it's important to know your skin type. Typically, teenagers have oily or combination skin as the sebaceous glands work harder during puberty. However, there are also teenagers with dry or sensitive skin. Oily skin: Produces more sebum, making the skin look shiny and prone to blemishes. Combination skin: Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), but dry or normal cheeks. Dry skin: Skin feels tight, often flaky or rough. Sensitive skin: Reacts sensitively to products, becomes red or irritated easily. Depending on your skin type, you should choose your skincare products accordingly. Ideally, you should seek advice at a pharmacy or drugstore to find out what skin type you have. 2. cleansing: The first and most important step Regardless of your skin type, proper cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine. For teenagers in particular, it is important to cleanse the skin thoroughly in the morning and evening to remove excess oil, dirt and bacteria that can lead to blemishes. Mild cleansing products: Avoid harsh cleansers that can dry out or irritate the skin. Foaming cleansing gels are good for oily or combination skin, while gentle cleansing milks or creamy cleansers are better for dry skin. Avoid vigorous scrubbing: A common misconception is that vigorous scrubbing removes pimples. In fact, this can irritate the skin and make the situation worse. Gently cleanse your skin and use lukewarm water. Our recommendation for gently cleansing your skin: Tal ABSOLUE Cleansing Gel Hydro BoostGentle cleansing gel Cleanses and protects the skin Moisturises immediately Click hereTal ABSOLUE Balancing Toner Hydro BoostAfter cleanser for all skin types Moisturises the skin Provides a pleasant feeling of freshnessClick here Previous slide Next slide 3. Moisturising: also important for oily skin Many teenagers with oily skin think that they should avoid using moisturiser so as not to make the problem worse. But the opposite is true. If the skin becomes too dry, it produces even more sebum as a protective reaction. It is therefore important to use a light, oil-free moisturiser. Oil-free products: Products labelled as "non-comedogenic" do not clog pores and are ideal for blemish-prone skin. Mattifying moisturiser: For oily skin, there are special mattifying moisturisers that reduce shine.

Pimples and blackheads are an everyday problem for many teenagers. Here are some tips on how to treat these skin problems effectively. Salicylic acid: This ingredient is ideal for fighting blackheads and pimples. It penetrates deep into the pores, dissolving excess oil and dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores. Benzoyl peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide is another proven ingredient against pimples. It kills the bacteria that cause pimples and promotes skin exfoliation. Be sure to choose products with low concentrations (e.g. 2.5 % or 5 %) to avoid skin irritation. Tea tree oil: A natural, anti-inflammatory ingredient that can help with mild acne. It has an antibacterial effect and soothes the skin. Clay masks: These masks can help absorb excess sebum and clear impurities. They are particularly suitable for oily skin. 5. regular exfoliation Gentle exfoliation once or twice a week helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. However, be careful not to use overly aggressive exfoliants as these can irritate the skin and aggravate inflammation. Products with chemical exfoliating ingredients such as AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHA (beta hydroxy acids) are often more effective and gentler than harsh, mechanical exfoliants. 6. keep your hands off your face It can be tempting to squeeze pimples, but this can aggravate inflammation and lead to scarring. Also, touching your face can bring bacteria and dirt onto your skin, which can further clog pores. 7. healthy diet and sufficient water External care is important, but you can also do a lot to support your skin from the inside. A balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables provides the skin with important vitamins and antioxidants. Vitamin C (in citrus fruits) and zinc (in nuts and seeds) are particularly important for skin health. Avoid excessive consumption of sugary foods, as these can stimulate sebum production. Drinking enough water is also important to hydrate the skin from within and flush toxins from the body. 8. don't forget sun protection Many teenagers underestimate the importance of sun protection. UV radiation can damage the skin and lead to premature ageing. If you use acne treatments, the skin can also react more sensitively to the sun. Therefore, use a sun cream with at least SPF 30 every day to protect your skin. 9 Patience and continuity Skincare is not a miracle cure that works overnight. It may take a few weeks before you notice visible improvements. Be patient and stick to your routine. Don't change products too often as this can irritate the skin. Conclusion Proper skincare during the teenage years is key to managing blemishes and keeping skin healthy. A good routine consists of cleansing, moisturising and targeted treatments for skin problems. Ingredients such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide and tea tree oil have been shown to be effective in combating spots. Complemented by a healthy lifestyle and sun protection, you can ensure that your skin is taken care of in the best possible way - both during the teenage years and beyond.

Skin stress in the digital age

Skin stress in the digital age In our fast-paced world, where we are constantly juggling work, family commitments and leisure activities, one important aspect is often neglected: our skin health. Facial skin in particular is exposed to numerous stress factors on a daily basis, which can have a negative impact not only on its appearance but also on its function. The invisible stress factors: Screen time and environmental pollution One of the biggest stressors for our skin is increasing screen time - in other words, the amount of time we spend looking at a screen every day. Whether in the office, on the move or at home, our skin is almost constantly exposed to blue light from computers, smartphones and tablets. Studies have shown that this blue light can damage skin cells and cause premature ageing. The result is fine lines, pigmentation spots and an uneven skin tone. In addition, environmental factors such as air pollution, UV radiation and even climate change put a strain on our skin. These external influences can weaken the skin's natural protective layer and make it more susceptible to damage. In urban areas in particular, the air is often contaminated with pollutants that can penetrate deep into the skin and cause inflammation and stress reactions. Stress in everyday life: a challenge for the skin The hectic everyday life of many Swiss people often leads to stress, which also affects the skin. Stress hormones such as cortisol can increase sebum production and thus lead to skin problems such as acne and oily skin. At the same time, stress can weaken the skin barrier, causing it to lose moisture and become more prone to irritation. Many people notice a deterioration in the appearance of their skin during times of stress - a clear sign of how much our inner well-being can affect our outer appearance. High-quality facial care: a must for stress-stricken skin In the face of these challenges, it is very important to use high-quality facial care products that have been specially developed to protect and regenerate the skin. A good facial care product should have the following properties:. Blue light protection: Products with antioxidants such as vitamin C and E can help protect the skin from the damaging effects of blue light and repair cells. Moisturising ingredients: Hyaluronic acid and glycerin are excellent moisturisers that deeply hydrate the skin and strengthen the skin barrier. Soothing ingredients: Ingredients such as aloe vera and chamomile have a calming effect on irritated skin and help to reduce inflammation. Anti-pollution formulas: Special anti-pollution skincare products can help to keep pollutants away from the skin, slowing down the ageing process. The right skincare routine for every skin type It is important to develop a skincare routine that is tailored to your individual skin type and specific needs. Here are some tips to minimise skin stress: Cleansing: Tal ABSOLUE Cleansing Gel Start your skincare routine with a gentle cleansing gel that thoroughly cleanses your skin while preserving your skin's protective hydro-lipid film, thanks to an active ingredient derived from apple pulp. Your skin is instantly clean, fresh and moisturised. Order now Toning: Tal ABSOLUE Balancing Toner This alcohol-free lotion is the ideal post-cleansing treatment for all skin types.

We donate over 200 children's smiles

We donate over 200 children's smiles In spring 2023, we launched our Tal "Care" Special Edition. In addition to the eye-catching design, the hand cream also carried an inspiring message. For every hand cream sold, we donated one Swiss franc to the Theodora Foundation. In total, we were able to bring smiles to over 200 children. The skin is the largest and heaviest organ in the human body and makes an important contribution to health. Clean, well-groomed skin boosts self-confidence and makes you feel good in your own skin. Of course, it is not possible to feel good all the time. When you are suffering from health problems or are hospitalised, you don't always feel like laughing. For children in particular, it can be a time of anxiety, worry and pain. For these reasons, we decided in spring 2023 to donate one Swiss franc per tube of the Special Edition "Care" sold to the Theodora Foundation. Since 1993, the Theodora Foundation has been pursuing the goal of brightening up the everyday lives of children in hospitals and specialised institutions with joy and laughter. Every year, the Dream Doctors bring laughter and moments of happiness to thousands of children throughout Switzerland. The name "Care" is also the idea behind our commitment: "As a family business from Graubünden, it is important to us to assume social and societal responsibility. We do this not only by using as many Swiss ingredients as possible in our hand creams and producing them in Switzerland, but also through commitments such as these," - says Oliver Lüscher, our CEO. The sale of the hand creams has made it possible to give many children the gift of laughter. "The generous donation from Parsenn-Produkte AG is an unforgettable gift for our children in hospital. Thanks to this valuable support, they receive visits from our dream doctors and experience precious moments of laughter and distraction, which are so important in difficult times. We are deeply grateful." - says André Poulie, founder of the Theodora Foundation. True beauty literally comes from within. This commitment emphasises the intrinsic attitude that beauty lies not only in external features, but also in the actions that contribute to enriching and improving the lives of others.

Wanderlust without wanderlust In a world that is often characterised by a hectic pace and technology, hiking is becoming increasingly popular. People seek peace and quiet in nature, escape from everyday life and let their thoughts wander to the rhythm of their steps. The fascination of hiking lies not only in the physical activity, but also in the conscious experience of the surroundings. It is a journey to oneself, a trend that shows that true treasures are hidden in the simplicity of nature. However, the desire to hike brings with it the potential for frustration, which you may find yourself confronted with sooner or later: For aching, dry or stressed feet The Tal MED foot care concept helps your skin to regenerate after a strenuous hike.
