Jojoba and Aloe Vera belong to the oldest well known medicinal plants. Now the skin care active ingredients are also available in a sock yarn: STEP is equipped with Jojoba and Aloe Vera extract – two in itself optimally complementary active components that care for feet on the go. The effect is proven to remain after more than 40 household washes. Through the special treatment, STEP receives a cashmere-like, soft touch.

The oil of the Jojoba bush fruit is not a vegetable oil, but a high-quality liquid wax. It protects the skin against dryness without leaving behind a greasy film because it is completely absorbed by the skin. Jojoba oil can reduce inflammation, improve cell regeneration and calm the skin. It improves the elasticity of the skin and provides a comfortably fresh feeling. In addition, the numerous active substances carry vitamin A, E and F, amino acids as well as unsaturated fatty acids.

Especially in the wellness and in some medical areas, Aloe Vera has successfully been used. Over 160 substances have been found in the plant, for example the vitamins A, C, D, E and traces of B12 as well as lipids and proteins. The enzyme Bradykinase can be helpful with inflammations and pains, and Salicylic acid is known for its analgesic effect.
