JURLIQUE PRODUCTS: NATURAL HEALING ENHANCED BY THE PUREST SKINCARE ON EARTHWhen they're not in the heart of the Australian bush, researching the ancient herbal healing secrets of the aborigines, Dr. Jurgen Klein, a Ph.D. biochemist and naturopathic doctor, and his wife, Ulrike, a botanist and horticulturist, are developing new aromatherapy skin care products or globe-trotting to educate skincare professionals on the importance of being all-natural.
Founded in the mid-1980s by the Kleins, their skincare company, which is a combination of their names, also combines their enriched understanding of the properties of plants. In the early '80s (after Dr. Klein had established himself in Germany as one of the leading R&D chemists for natural products) the Kleins sought beyond their native country in a worldwide quest for pure, clean air and unpolluted soil in which to cultivate the ingredients of their product line.
After searching in Ireland, the south of France, North America, New Zealand and the entire continent of Australia, the Kleins established their farm, laboratories and processing facility in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. On an herb farm of lovingly tended land, they built their dream of producing a wide range of all-natural skincare products with no chemicals or artificial preservatives, colors or fragrances, and with absolutely no animal testing or animal matter.
Lavender, calendula, echinacea, chamomile, rosemary, pansy and sage are just a few of the healing herbs grown on the farm. Rich multi-colored roses stretch for acres. Everything is grown organically in a pollution-free environment, and all cultivation is done by hand to ensure that the herbal extraction process is not jeopardized.
The Kleins have long known that plants, when grown and processed using traditional Eastern and Western herbal knowledge, produce healing skincare products, far superior to those manufactured with petrochemical or animal compounds. A student of the age-old philosophy of alchemy, which helps enhance the deep healing properties of plants, Dr. Klein uses an ancient herbal extraction technique known as the spagyric method. This detailed and vital process involves separating, purifying and then re-combining the plant substances to produce a more potent elixir while leaving intact the powerful life force of the plant. Combining these ancient arts with leading edge technology is known as the Bio-intrinsic process, through which the sum becomes greater than its parts.
The Kleins' mission, and that of their global network of estheticians and skin care professionals, is to educate customers as to exactly how their products are the purest skincare, and exactly why they should care. After all, doesn't every line of skincare products claim to be "the best"?
