🌼 From 2007 to now – eyes that see, smile and glow
When I developed Eye Balm with magical arnica in 2007, I had just had Ylva 👩🍼 Little sleep. Dark circles. Swollen eyes. Life! But damn what a good companion Eye Balm has been! A new big test came in 2019 when I had Jonatan six days before I turned 45 – and who woke me up almost every night for the first 5 years 😅
Still: no more swollen eyes since 2007 🙌
I apply and my skin smiles. And I feel it every morning: This eye balm is gold. No wonder it's nominated for the European Natural Beauty Awards 2025!
It's crazy that there are 6 years between these two photos! Now Jonatan is going to school, and he is already good at plants and herbs and is really proud of Vossabia 💚
🌼 I grow sunflowers on the farm to be able to refine and make extract from my own produced plant, but also to help keep the plant alive in Norway! Sunflowers used to be found in many places growing wild in this country. Now it is almost extinct and can only be found in the fantastic flora at Bømlo and Karmøy, and maybe a few other places. My suggestion is therefore to buy organic arnica seeds from solhatt.no, sow and pre-cultivate inside, and then plant it in your garden too! Don't eat or drink it (it can be toxic internally), but enjoy it and make oil for external use from it! 🥰
In Eye balm, the arnica flower is an important ingredient, and now this year's harvest of home-produced arnica is underway, 🌼 look how nice they are!
Like all Vossabia products, Augebalsam started with a need - and a curious nerdy glow 💛
👩🏫 I studied herbs, delved into old textbooks and modern research, and put together a recipe where each plant had a place and a purpose. The goal was to relieve puffy eyes – but it didn’t stop there. Because with a powerhouse of organic pomegranate oil, nutritious hemp, nourishing squalane and (love love!) the protective beeswax, Augebalsam has proven to be a true multi-artist 🤩
And the best part? That so many people have found their own ways to use it. Things I never even thought of! 🤯
Here are a few experiences from those who have made Augebalsam a permanent companion in their everyday lives 💚👇
Imagine that I developed Augebalsam when Ylva was born in 2007, and now she is almost 18 and a beautiful girl who of course loves Augebalsam too 💖
I love that customers use our natural products with creativity and imagination, because that's what herbs inspire and are suitable for. For 18 years, many have told of good results from this little green treasure that has a much greater effect for many than I could have dreamed of 😍
Swollen eyes were just the beginning 👀
Customers all over the country have told me how Eye balm helps against:
Eczema, irritation and red skin around the eyes
Pigment spots, fine lines and wrinkles
Dry and sensitive skin that can't tolerate anything else
And – quite unbelievably – even lines between breasts smoothed out after three weeks of using Augebalsam ! (Yes, that actually happened – shoutout to Noha from Cairo 💃)
Also check out how ingenious Augebalsam is for things you wouldn't believe, as smart customers have discovered:
✨ Night cream
✨ Makeup remover
✨ Rescue that removes children's/clown makeup (!), and
✨ For everything from runny eyes to psoriasis, and even dark circles and age spots
And the best part? That so many people with sensitive skin say:
"Finally something I can tolerate on my skin!" 💫
Vossabia is all about holistic health, awareness and closeness to nature 🌱 and my skin products are therefore completely free of water and preservatives - here it is raw materials from bees 🐝 and carefully selected herbs that provide good care and fast results. I just love feeling the pure nature on my skin and most of all it gives me peace and security to know that I am adding only nourishing things from plants and the magical world of bees to my skin and body 🥰💚
🌿 What does Eye balm so unique?
It's not just the sunflower that works wonders. Here are the key ingredients:
🔸 Pomegranate oil – very rich in antioxidants, documented effect against lines and wrinkles
🔸 Squalane from olives – protects and moisturizes, also for eczema and dry skin
🔸 Hemp seed oil – anti-inflammatory, prevents flaking and itching of the skin, strengthens the skin barrier, great for intolerant skin
🔸 Beeswax – retains moisture, protects well and soothes the skin
🔸 0% water and 0% preservatives – just the power of nature!
I hope you open your eyes to Augebalsam , so that it can provide more benefit and enjoyment all around 🥰🙌
