Natural cosmetics range by Reinhold Messner |
The legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner has developed a range of natural cosmetics and perfumes in co-operation with the biological herb producer "Kräutergold". The former climber and explorer is the founder of the "Messner Mountain Museum", MMM for short, accommodated in four different locations and dedicated to the theme of "Mountain".
Given his lasting contribution to discovery of the natural world, it seems fitting that a farmer working on biological principles should be growing salubrious herbs for Reinhold Messner close to his home and castle Schloss Juval in the Val Venosta/Vinschgau Valley. Active substances are extracted from edelweiss, thyme, marigold and sage and used to produce the toiletry range "Messner Mountain Magic". There are 14 products corresponding to the number of "eight-thousanders" (mountains exceeding 8,000 m or 26,246 ft altitude) which Messner has conquered, and include lotions, lip balm, sun cream and peelings.
The perfume range "Messner Mountain Magic" is being released simultaneously and at present comprises a scent for men and another for women. "Nanga Parbat" and "Manaslu" are filled in flacons which can later be reused as hip flasks.
Messner's product range can be found in the "Kräuterschlössl" (herb castle) at Coldrano/Goldrain, in the "Vinschger Bauernladen" ("farm shop" - together with farm products) and in the Messner Mountain Museums.
