Ergonomics and motor skill development
Why are the crayons shaped like blocks? There is a profound pedagogical reason behind it. While toddlers naturally use a "fist grip," the block shape gently encourages the pincer grip.

This grip is essential for developing fine motor skills and prepares the child for future tasks like writing and using scissors. By using the different edges and flat sides, children can experiment with both fine lines and broad strokes.

Waldorf, Montessori, and the sensory approach
In Waldorf and Montessori education, great emphasis is placed on sensory and natural materials.

Beeswax blocks are a staple tool because they engage more than just the visual sense:
 

• Smell: The gentle scent of beeswax creates a calming environment.

• Touch: The texture of the wax feels warm in the hand, and the blocks provide smooth resistance against the paper, helping the child sense their own physical strength.

• Creative freedom: Unlike sharp pencils, blocks allow children to cover large areas quickly, fostering a sense of mastery and calm (mindfulness).

Quality and the "Wax Bloom"
These "nawaro" crayons are made from renewable resources and are completely free from petrochemical waxes. You may notice a thin white coating on the surface; this is known as a wax bloom.

This is not a defect but proof of high quality and the high content of pure beeswax. The crayons are gluten-free and virtually unbreakable – they almost never snap, even during enthusiastic use.

Car tip
With a 7 cm base, the CUP2GO fits into most standard cup holders, ensuring your warm drink is always within reach during your commute.

Strengthening care with bamboo
As a valuable main ingredient, ZAO nail polish contains bamboo rhizome macerate. Bamboo is naturally extremely rich in organic silica, which is essential for the structure of the nails.

Silica hardens the nails and helps make them more resistant to breakage. At the same time, the nourishing formula ensures that your nails remain healthy under the polish.

Advantages of Zao Nail Polish

• Easy application: The wide, flat brush makes it easy to distribute the polish evenly over the entire nail with just a few strokes.
• Professional finish: Provides excellent coverage and a beautiful, glossy surface.
• 100% Vegan: Certified vegan makeup without animal ingredients and is not tested on animals.

How to achieve the best result
To ensure the best durability and a professional finish, we recommend the following routine:
 

1. Ensure your nails are dry and free of oil or cream.
2. Base Coat: For extra protection and care, start with a thin base coat (ZAO 636) to protect the nail and ensure an even surface. If you have brittle nails needing to be reinforced, ZAO recommends using their 'Nail Hardener' (ZAO 635) as a base coat.
3. Color: Apply one or two coats of ZAO Coral (656) depending on the desired color intensity. Start in the middle of the nail and stroke from the nail bed to the tip, then fill in the sides.
4. Top Coat: Finish with a glossy top coat (ZAO 636) or a glitter top coat (ZAO 665) to seal the color and provide extra durability.
5. Correction: Any small mistakes can be quickly removed with a corrector pen.

When you want to remove your nail polish, we recommend using ZAO's acetone-free nail polish remover.

Zao has combined some of nature's most potent oils to create a serum that both protects and regenerates

Organic Argan Oil
Known as "liquid gold," argan oil is extremely rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, making it ideal for combating skin aging. Its fatty acids restore softness to dry and malnourished skin.

Organic Tamanu Oil
Extracted from the nuts of the tamanu tree, this oil is rich in essential fatty acids that hydrate deeply and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its anti-inflammatory properties also soothe irritation and redness.

Organic Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil resembles the skin's own sebum. It strengthens the hydrolipidic film and regulates moisture balance, keeping the skin elastic and supple without feeling greasy.

How to use the serum for the best results
To get the most out of the active oils, the serum should be integrated into your daily routine morning and evening:

1. Cleanse: Ensure your face is completely clean and dry.

2. Dosage: Apply 3 to 4 drops of serum into your palm.

3. Application: Distribute the serum over the entire face and neck before your day or night cream.

4. Massage: Gently massage the product with your fingertips in outward motions (from the center of the face outwards).

Expert tip
Since the serum is oil-based, it works excellently as a base for your facial massage or when using a Gua Sha, as it provides the perfect surface for the tools to glide on.

Cleaning
Clear the brush of loose hair after use. If the bristles become dusty, they can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the entire wooden handle in water.

Gift idea
With its beautiful design and natural raw materials, this brush is an ideal baby shower or christening gift that will be kept as a cherished memory.

Did you know?
The olive wood in Redecker's brushes is known for its "non-slip" grip, making it easy to hold onto the brush even if your hands are damp after the bath.

Usage and Safety
For the best experience with your air freshener, we recommend the following:
 

1. Shake the bottle: Shake thoroughly before each use to blend the natural oils.

2. Spray in the room: Press the atomizer and spray into the open space as needed.

3. Avoid contact: Do not spray directly onto the body, in the face, or on delicate textiles.

Important Information
Lavender has a naturally calming effect that can lower blood pressure. Individuals with very low blood pressure should use the product with caution. As the product contains natural plant extracts, please be aware of potential allergic reactions to the natural ingredients.

Ingredients
Denat. alcohol, water, organic lavender essential oil (Lavandula hybrida sp. Grosso), Linalool, D-Limonene (natural components of essential oil).

In-depth Ingredient Focus
NaturligOlie has selected every single ingredient for its ability to nourish, protect, and stimulate. Here is a detailed look at what you will find in this organic eyelash serum:

SymLash 1631 - Microalgae Extract
This is our primary growth active. SymLash is based on microalgae, which are extremely rich in essential nutrients.
 

• Effect: In clinical in vivo studies, this active has been shown to make lashes visibly longer and denser after just 6 weeks.

• Results: It increases lash volume by up to 50% and provides 34% denser lashes. It strengthens the hair from the root, minimizing the risk of lashes falling out prematurely.

EcoPep - Oat Peptides
A peptide is a chain of amino acids that serves as a building block for proteins like keratin. EcoPep is produced via an innovative and gentle enzyme-based biotechnology.
 

• Effect: It boosts the formation of collagen and elastin at the lash line. This improves the anchoring of the lashes, making them sit more securely and break less frequently.

• Results: It increases both the density and the actual thickness of individual lash hairs.

Hyaluronic Acid - Natural Moisture Magnet
Hyaluronic acid is a true superstar in skincare, but it is just as important for your lashes.
 

• Effect: It can bind water up to 1000 times its own weight. As the body’s own production of hyaluronic acid decreases with age, lashes often become dry and brittle.

• Results: Hyaluronic acid adds intense moisture to the lash line and the lashes themselves. It provides shine, flexibility, and a beautiful curve, as well-hydrated lashes are much less likely to break than dry ones.

Organic Aloe Vera & Glycerin

• Aloe Vera: A source of more than 75 different nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It has a cooling and soothing effect on the delicate skin around the eyes and ensures a healthy environment for new lashes.

• Glycerin: A natural moisturizer that seals moisture inside the hair shaft. It increases comfort during application and protects against dehydration from environmental factors.

Guide: How to apply the eyelash serum correctly
To get the most out of your organic serum, consistency is key. It only takes a few seconds every day:
 

1. Cleanse first: Remove all makeup and wash your skin. The serum penetrates best on completely clean and dry skin.

2. Apply along the lash line: Use the fine applicator and apply a thin stripe along the root of the upper lashes – just like an eyeliner. One stripe is enough.

3. Let it dry: Wait 1-2 minutes before continuing with face cream or makeup. It absorbs quickly and feels weightless.

4. Daily use: Use it once daily, preferably in the evening before bedtime. You will see the first results after 4-6 weeks.

5. Maintenance: Once you have achieved the desired effect, you can reduce application to 3-4 times a week to maintain strength and length.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use it if I have sensitive eyes?
Yes. The serum is specifically developed to be mild. Since it is free from harsh chemicals and hormone-like substances, the risk of irritation is minimal. However, we always recommend a patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours if you are extremely allergic.

Is it perfume-free?
Yes. The eyelash serum is 100% fragrance-free to avoid unnecessary irritation to the delicate mucous membranes around the eyes.

Can I use makeup with the serum?
Yes. Simply wait 1-2 minutes after application until the serum is completely dry before applying your mascara or eyeshadow.

Is there oil in the product?
No. The serum is completely oil-free. This means it is not greasy and can safely be used if you have a lash lift or eyelash extensions.

How does the serum feel on the skin?
It has a light, watery consistency that absorbs quickly. Thanks to Aloe Vera, it can feel slightly cooling and refreshing upon application, but this sensation disappears within a few minutes.

What is the difference between this and the Lash & Brow Serum?
This eyelash serum is a more concentrated "booster" with more active growth ingredients (SymLash and EcoPep). It is oil-free and features a thin eyeliner brush for precise application. The Lash & Brow Serum is more of a nourishing oil for existing hair.

Does the serum contain hormones or prostaglandins?
No. NaturligOlie strongly distances itself from hormone-like ingredients. Their product is safe and based on natural alternatives.

Is NaturligOlie's eyelash serum 100% natural?
Yes. Every single ingredient in this product is of natural origin, and NaturligOlie always uses organic raw materials where possible (Aloe Vera and glycerin).

How soon can I expect results?
Most people see the first changes after 4-6 weeks. The full effect is typically seen after 12 weeks, as it follows the lashes' natural growth cycle.

How often should I use the serum?
In the beginning, you should use it every single day. Once the results are achieved, you can reduce it to 3-4 times a week to maintain healthy and long lashes.

Intense Pearly Effect
The formula is rich in high-coverage pigments that provide a metallic and glossy finish, catching the light and bringing life to your gaze. Although the finish is shiny, the bamboo powder (rich in silica) helps absorb excess oil on the eyelid, improving durability.

Vegetable Squalane
Extracted from olive oil. This substance resembles the skin's own sebum, providing excellent affinity with the skin. It strengthens the hydrolipidic barrier and protects against dehydration.

Regenerating Bamboo Powder
A white powder extracted from bamboo joints. The high silica content helps remineralize the epidermis and regenerate the skin.

Long-lasting Finish
Organic corn starch ensures that the pigments adhere optimally to the skin, so your makeup stays in place all day (or night).

Guide - How to create an intense and defined look
Want a look that appears more open and intense? By playing with contrasts and precision, you can easily transform the expression of your eyes.

Here are the best techniques for your Zao makeup:

1. Create a lifted and open look
To make the eyes appear larger and more defined, start with a light matte eyeshadow across the entire eyelid.

Eyeliner trick: Use an angled brush, dampen it slightly with water, and dip it into a dark matte eyeshadow. Apply the color as a precise eyeliner along the upper lash line – start at the inner corner and follow the lashes outward. This opens the gaze and provides a beautiful frame.

2. Expert beauty tip
For a professional result that lasts all day (and night), follow this routine:

1. The Base: Always start with Eye Primer 258. It ensures the colors don't settle into creases.

2. Color Choice: Spread a light or medium eyeshadow over the entire lid with a Shading Brush 704 or an applicator.

3. Depth: Use the Angled Brush 706 to apply a darker shade right at the roots of the lashes.

4. Highlights: Dab a light shade in the inner corner of the eye to give your gaze "light".

5. Intensity: Create extra drama in the outer corner using a dark color with the Orbit Brush 705.

3. Eyeshadow as eyeliner - wet or dry
You don't need a separate liquid eyeliner for a sharp look. Zao's matte shadows (e.g., Black 206 or Brown 216) work perfectly as an "Eyeliner Cake".

• For a natural look: Apply the color dry with a fine brush close to the lashes.

• For an intense look: Dampen the brush before dipping it into the shadow. This makes the pigmentation bolder and more long-lasting.

• Final touch: Always finish with a good mascara to complete the look.

Compatibility
This rectangular refill is compatible with ZAO's Bamboo Boxes and larger palettes. Note that this is not the round refill, but the rectangular model.

Odds & Ends
Colorful home textiles – made from industrial surplus materials

When factories dye yarn for textile production, they often create an extra stash just in case – but much of this yarn ends up unused. Odds & Ends textiles are designed to fully utilize these remainders, creating endless, unexpected color combinations.

Collections & Colors
Odds & Ends collections are produced in batches. The factory gathers surplus materials and uses these colors to create a new design, which is then put into production. The precise design is just a starting point – during production, some of the remaining materials are used up and replaced with similar colors.

Therefore, the images you see are a guiding representation of what the textiles look like, but there will be slight variations within each batch.

Colors may vary
Since these textiles are produced in small batches from surplus materials, colors may vary. However, the general color palette is always maintained, so textiles within the same color scale can easily be combined. The product you receive may be identical to or have slight variations compared to the images on this page. The duo set consists of one textile in primarily cool tones and one in primarily warm tones.

Washing and care instructions
All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed at 30°C on the washing machine's cotton program with similar colors. To preserve the intensity of the colors, an organic detergent for colored laundry is recommended.

To prolong the life of the textiles, line drying is recommended, but terry products such as soft towels – especially those with a velour finish – can benefit from occasional tumble drying at medium heat to soften the fibers without the use of chemical fabric softeners.

If you live in an area with hard water, you can soften both your textiles and your washing machine by adding citric acid or vinegar to the rinse cycle from time to time.

Loose threads
This product is woven with terry loops to ensure a soft and absorbent quality. Newly woven terry loops can be more prone to loose threads, so please be careful with jewelry during the first few uses.

If a thread should come loose, never pull it! Carefully cut it off with sharp scissors – this will prevent further loose threads and does not affect the woven structure of the textiles. After the first few washes, the fibers will become more resistant to snags.
