| Verdict | Alverde is dm-Drogerie Markt's house natural-cosmetics brand and one of the great drugstore secrets of European skincare. The Clear Waschcreme uses loess (a fine European mineral clay) for oil absorption, coco-glucoside for gentle cleansing, plus green tea extract and sweet almond oil. NaTrue-certified natural, vegan, and €2.95 ($4). German drugstore skincare is genuinely competitive at this price tier. | Royal Fern's Phytoactive Cleansing Balm is the brand's first-cleanse step — caprylic/capric triglyceride + sunflower + shea butter + jojoba + olive oil base, with the patented fern complex and bisabolol/allantoin/panthenol for soothing. 18-ingredient INCI, restrained for the prestige tier. €95 for the brand's most-accessible entry product. |
