Massaged into the lower abdomen or lower back, the cream can help you become more aware of tense areas, calm your bodily sensations, and feel better supported during your period.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Place\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for functional natural cosmetics from Berlin.

Each formula is designed around a clear skincare need - with natural ingredients, vegan formulations, and consciously selected packaging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eKey active ingredients\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGinger and capsicum extract\u003c\/strong\u003e give The Hug its warming, activating character. Capsicum contains natural capsaicinoids that stimulate the skin's warmth and sensory receptors and can thereby create a clearly perceptible sensation of warmth. Ginger complements this effect with its characteristic gingerols and, together with the massage, creates a soothing, invigorating body sensation - especially pleasant on the lower abdomen and lower back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSt. John's wort extract\u003c\/strong\u003e is traditionally used externally for stressed and sensitive skin. Its characteristic plant compounds, such as hyperforin and hypericin, have been well studied for their antioxidant and skin-soothing properties. In The Hug, St. John's wort supports a calmer, well-cared-for skin sensation, making it especially well suited to gentle massage during sensitive phases of the cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChasteberry extract\u003c\/strong\u003e contains flavonoids, iridoids, and other secondary plant compounds with antioxidant potential. The plant is closely associated with traditional women's and cycle care and complements The Hug's botanical concept. On the skin, the extract primarily contributes antioxidant and nourishing plant compounds to the formula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaritime pine bark extract and Haematococcus microalgae\u003c\/strong\u003e provide particularly interesting antioxidants. Maritime pine bark is rich in procyanidins and other polyphenols, while \u003cem\u003eHaematococcus pluvialis\u003c\/em\u003e is known as a natural source of the carotenoid astaxanthin. Both support the skin in protecting against oxidative stress and add genuine antioxidant value to body care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrankincense, sandalwood, and marjoram\u003c\/strong\u003e define the cream's warm, resinous, and slightly spicy scent. Frankincense adds a balsamic, resinous depth, sandalwood soft warmth, and marjoram an aromatic, herbal character. This fragrance composition supports the calm, grounding character of the application and turns massaging in the cream into a mindful self-care ritual.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJojoba, grapeseed, coconut, and safflower oils, along with shea butter and glycerin\u003c\/strong\u003e form the nourishing base. The plant lipids improve glide during massage, leave the skin soft and supple, and help reduce moisture loss. Glycerin also binds water in the upper layer of the skin - allowing The Hug to combine a warming body sensation with comprehensive skincare.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace a hazelnut-sized amount of The Hug in the palms of your hands and warm it briefly.
