Natural Body Care
Susanne Kaufmann comes from the Bregenz Forest, a pristine Alpine valley in Austria, where knowledge of the healing powers of nature is passed down from generation to generation. From an early age, Susanne Kaufmann was fascinated by the idea of harnessing the intensive effective properties of the Alpine plant world to create modern solutions for beauty, health and wellbeing. She began realizing her idea at a very special place: the Susanne Kaufmann Spa at the Hotel Post Bezau. Together with a team of pharmacists and dermatologists she developed result-driven products for spa treatments based on precious natural ingredients. Skin-specific formulations with the highest possible skin-tolerance levels were part of the concept from the very start. The internationally renowned holistic skincare line SUSANNE KAUFMANN ORGANIC TREATS now encompasses more than 60 functional products.

Obsidian Roller
The stone has properties that help relieve muscle inflammation, strengthen connective tissue, and help the body to better absorb vitamin C and D. In addition to physical effects, obsidian also demonstrates energetic benefits, enhancing the flow of “life force” as existing blockages are released. Susanne Kaufmann herself selected all materials and artisan manufacturers. Her brother, renowned architect Oskar Leo Kaufmann, designed the roller. The black obsidian stone is from South Tyrol, which local craftsmen hand cut into the roller form. To use: place the roller at the center of the face and stroke/roll it outwards (along the facial meridians). To treat the area around the eyes place the roller under the eye at the base of the nose and roll it horizontally outwards towards the temple. For a quick reduction in swelling around the eyes or a little “emergency relief”, place the roller in the refrigerator for a few hours before use. For enhanced results, we recommend the use of the roller together with ampoules and serums.
Pollution Defense Skin Ampoules
This new system consists of three perfectly harmonized active substance ampoules – vitamin C, ectoine and Q10. They are applied, one per night, in a 15-day intensive spa treatment. Together, the ampoules deliver comprehensive multi-layered protection, guarding your skin against the negative effects of free radicals and damaging environmental factors. That helps to the youthfulness, radiance and smooth complexion of your skin. The high-dosage vitamin C ampoule provides free radical protection, strengthens the skin’s natural defense system and opens the detox pathways of the skin. The ectoine ampoule gives the skin cells natural, holistic protection, resulting in effective prevention of the early onset of skin aging. The Q10 ampoule is the grand finale. This substance promotes skin oxygenation, stimulates cell metabolism and wards off anti-oxidative stress. The magnolia extract present in this ampoule promotes collagen production. The three ampoules in the series are applied, one per night, before your night cream, over the course of 15 days.
Glow Mask
The Glow Mask lends the skin immediate radiance while minimizing fines lines and imperfections. Herbal active ingredients work together synergistically to renew, revitalize and regenerate your complexion for the perfect glow. Papaya powder works as an enzyme peel, sloughing off dead skin cells and tightening pores for shine, freshness and a more even skin tone. Ginger and coffee stimulate cell metabolism and promote collagen production. Raspberry extract protects cells from excessive water loss. A date extract strengthens the antioxidant defense system and increases skin protection. Glow Mask is a real care booster. After an application of just 15 minutes, skin is busily improved and feels refreshed and renewed.
Age Preventative Skincare
The revitalizing skincare line offers intensive daily treatment that effectively helps to prevent premature skin aging. It is even able to reduce already visible signs of aging, such as loss of resilience, wrinkles and dehydration. Innovative formulations with plant extracts protect the skin from external stress factors. An ingenious combination of active agents consisting, among other things, of bioflavonoids, ectoine and extract of white lupine blossom, revitalizes and smooths the skin and supplies it with long-lasting moisture. The skin looks firmed, refreshed and healthy.
Hypersensitive Skin
This skincare routine for reactive skin includes entirely fragrance-free products for face, body, hair and scalp. Sophisticated formulations with targeted ingredients, such as extract of the Albatrellus confluens mushroom, strengthen the compromised protective barrier of the skin. The cleansing agents in the products are derived from sugar and vegetable fats, among other things, which offer an especially gentle cleansing action. Vegetable glycerin binds water in the skin and promotes cell regeneration. The products are formulated to maintain balance in the pH level and the protective acid mantle of the skin, to reduce cell damage and to hydrate the skin. This line is thus safe and effective for the whole family, even the very newest members, from 3 months on.
