The philosopher Immanuel Kant once said: “Those whose lives are the most valuable fear death the least.” After 95 fulfilling years of life, Annemarie Lindner, my mother-in-law and our company founder, passed away in February. She laid the foundation for the worldwide success our company now enjoys with creativity, determination, untiring effort and great entrepreneurial skill. Her humor, her commitment and the enthusiasm with which she interested so many people in her natural cosmetics will never be forgotten. It was she who gave natural cosmetics a voice in the form of ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND Natural Beauty. Annemarie Lindner’s principles still govern our creation of verifiably effective products developed by innovative, sustainable means. Intent on seeing her life’s work carried on into the future, she passed the management of BÖRLIND GmbH on to her son Michael Lindner in 1985. Our children Nicolas and Alicia Lindner are now the third generation of the family to play an active role in company management and continue leading it into the future, just as Annemarie Lindner would have wished. The grande dame and pioneer of natural cosmetics will always live on in our hearts.

FAREWELL TO ANNEMARIE LINDNER A life devoted to natural cosmetics – the founder of BÖRLIND GmbH died at 95 years of age.

commanding presence until the very end. Annemarie Lindner’s ID often caused those who saw it to do a double take. The founder of BÖRLIND GmbH could easily be mistaken for 20 years younger than she actually was. Not only was she the best advertisement for her brand, she was also a tester and lifelong user of her products. Born in Berlin in 1920, Annemarie Lindner suffered from severe acne as a teenager and later as a young married woman. Initial experiments with herbal treatments helped her skin. When she realized that plants had healing powers, the young woman was so excited that she trained as a cosmetician in Leipzig at age 27 and began making and successfully marketing her own creams and facial toners based on natural raw materials. The joy she took in her success was short-lived, however. After three expropriations, she and her family
escaped to the west in 1958, risking everything they had to start over. BÖRLIND GmbH was born. Once again, Annemarie Lindner proved what a skillful entrepreneur she was. Courageous, disciplined and committed, she led the brands ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND Natural Beauty and DADO SENS Dermacosmetics to worldwide success.
THE SECRET TO SUCCESS: DISCIPLINE Her son Michael is now at the helm of the company, assisted by his children Nicolas and Alicia. Aware of how much she had accomplished in her life, Annemarie Lindner often said: “I am a darling of fortune!” Indeed she was, but she was also a courageous woman who exuded a special charm and captivated everyone she met with her ageless beauty.

A
nd the Oscar goes to …” Gwyneth Paltrow had this magic phrase directed at her in 1999. At just 26 years of age, she accepted Hollywood’s highest honor in a flood of tears. Her career skyrocketed from that moment onward. Although the blonde beauty began acting in her father’s films at the tender age of five and toured with her mother, Gwyneth did not dream of becoming an actress as a child. After graduating from high school she went on to study art history. She did eventually follow in her parents’ footsteps, however. Both her mother, Blythe Danner, as well as her now deceased father, Bruce Paltrow, were great successes in showbiz – she as an actress in the theater, he as a director and producer. Her

A CHILD OF THE STARS, WITHOUT THE AIRS AND GRACES Although she has an almost fragile air about her, Paltrow is both tenacious and practical. At a press conference in 2011, the mother of two commented that she no longer cares if she is ranked number one or number ten, she knows she is damned good at her job and that is the only thing she cares about. Although her first

She had already displayed her talent in 1995 at Brad Pitt’s side in the thriller ‘Seven’. Other box office hits soon followed, including ‘A Perfect Murder‘ and ‘Great Expectations’, both released in 1998. A WELL-DESERVED OSCAR Her emotional performance in Shakespeare in Love won over both the movie-going public and the Oscar jury in 1999: Paltrow won the Oscar for best actress, an Empire Award for best actress and a Golden Globe for best perfor-
mance by an actress in a motion picture. In 2006 she further underscored her skills as a character actress in the drama ‘Proof‘ alongside Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jake Gyllenhaal, earning her a Golden Globe nomination as best actress. She showed off her whimsical, funny side in 2001 in ‘The Royal Tenenbaums‘ and the comedy ‘Shallow Hal‘, even appearing in a fat suit in some scenes. Her performance as Pepper Potts, assistant to Robert Downey Jr. in the actionpacked ‘Iron Man‘ series (2008, 2010 and 2013), was brilliant. Paltrow was honored with a star (No. 2427) on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame on December 13, 2010.

name means ‘spoiled by luck’ in Welsh, Paltrow has repeatedly learned that career success is not always accompanied by a happy personal life. She and Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob, Brad Pitt, called off their engagement in 1997, after which she briefly dated actor Ben Affleck. In 2003 she found her ‘Mister Right’ in the form of Chris Martin, the frontman for the band Coldplay. Their happiness was made complete by the birth of daughter Apple in May 2004 and son Moses two years later. But in 2014,

after some ten years of marriage, the two announced that they were splitting up. ‘My children are what makes me truly happy. They are what first gave my life meaning,’ said Paltrow (now 43) several years ago. She cut back on her career to spend more time with her family.
“ I feel selfconfident each morning when I look in the mirror.” But her active commitment to healthy eating, beauty and yoga has only grown. The actress is very careful to
take good care of her body. She started her blog, Goop, in 2008 as a way of sharing health and beauty tips such as the fitness programs she uses to maintain her perfect figure. Together with trainer Tracy Anderson, Paltrow trains hard for at least an hour five times a week.
‘A MODERN-DAY GRACE KELLY’ Exhausting as this may be, it does keep her looking stunning in the designer dresses she turns heads with on the red carpet. Her appearance and sense of fashion have led the critics to refer to her as ‘a modernday Grace Kelly.’ Paltrow’s beauty regimen also includes yoga and Pilates as well as a macrobiotic diet that she is said to have copied from her good friend Madonna. And with striking results. Despite her age, Paltrow has
a radiant appearance and a perfect body. With three cookbooks to her name, it is clear that this Californian is adept at preparing healthy and delicious meals, a trait she inherited from her father, who passed away in 2002. The all-around talent also likes to keep her beauty rituals as ‘green’ as possible and swears by natural cosmetics. She doesn’t associate green products with an ideology or a trend. The greater the demand, the better. The environment stands to benefit, she says, and so do people. Paltrow states that she has no fear of aging: “A few gray hairs and wrinkles don’t bother me at all,” she told People magazine in spring. The 40s are a blessing, she says; she feels much prettier today than she did ten or twenty years ago and has no desire to turn back the hands of time. Her amazingly simple recipe for happiness: “Women are happy when they are authentic.”

UNDER THE MICROSCOPE or shoots. The highly efficient stem cells are located in both the plant and its fruit. In the case of the Black Forest Rose, the stem cells are taken from the leaves.
FOR A NATURALLY RADIANT COMPLEXION
G U YL AIN E LE LOAR ER
A
round 600 B.C., the poet Sappho wrote that if Zeus had willed for a single flower to reign as queen over the flowers, it would surely be the rose. No other flower is so adept at symbolizing grace, perfection, beauty, vitality and love – but also transience. Our mystical fascination with the rose, to which even scientists fall prey, is fueled by the ambivalence of love and suffering, of blossoms and thorns. The precious essential oil of the rose contains some 400 individual substances. Thus far, only its main components have been researched. Guylaine Le Loarer is one of the flower queen’s many admirers. The Head of Research and Development for BÖRLIND GmbH is especially fascinated with one particular type of rose: the Black Forest Rose. The Black Forest Rose was presented for the first time at the Landesgartenschau (state garden show) in VillingenSchwenningen in 2010, and has meanwhile garnered awards not just for its beauty, but for its natural resistance to disease as well. These traits make the new variety of rose especially desirable as a source of cosmetic raw materials for harvesting.
THE STEM CELL METHOD Plant stem cells, also known as meristematic cells, are used to stimulate skin cells and processes that can combat aging. Cultivated under standardized conditions, they are used as cosmetic raw materials or as suppliers of secondary plant substances. This approach is highly sustainable, since the substance is created in the laboratory and only a small quantity of raw material is required for the extraction process. There is no need to cultivate the plants on large plots of land.
Le Loarer’s team therefore chose it as their subject for exploring one of the most interesting areas of modern cosmetic science, stem cell research.
PLANTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO HEAL THEMSELVES Stem cells are genuine jacks-of-alltrades without a pre-defined role in the organism. Theoretically they can perform a wide range of functions, but they serve primarily for regeneration. If a plant is injured by being cut, for example, the stem cells produce generalized wound-healing tissue. Once the injury is completely closed up, the ‘quick fix’ becomes a specific tissue type such as bark
And the results are impressive Together with Akott Group Italia, the team of BÖRLIND researchers isolated a fat-soluble and a watersoluble extract that demonstrate highly promising effects. “Developing a new ingredient is exciting, but so is incorporating its modes of action into a suitable product,” says Le Loarer. The lipo-extract is now being used for the first time in the day cream belonging to the new system-based skin care series ENERGYNATURE, developed by ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND specifically for the target group over the age of 20. “The market offers very few skin care products for this age range,” says the expert. Consumers are forced to choose between classic facial cream and anti-aging cosmetics. Neither are suitable for the condition of this group’s skin. Young skin is still elastic and supple, but changes start occurring from age 20 onward. For instance, the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen decreases. Stress, an active lifestyle and inadequate sleep leave initial traces such as dryness lines, pale skin and dark circles under the eyes. This is where ENERGYNATURE can help. The innovative new ingredients in the vegan line combat the premature aging process known as pre-aging. In addition to stem cell extract from the Black Forest Rose, the skin’s natural mechanisms are

also activated by organic caffeine, menthol derivative and a phytonutrient from the cress plant. The fresh fragrance underscores the energizing effect of the products. ENERGYNATURE Facial Gel has been shown to increase skin moisture by 32 percent – and this moisture boost helps to reduce and conceal visible signs of tiredness in the skin. After all, moisture is the key to youthful skin and is considered the best tool to prevent skin aging. This is where the lipo-extract in ENERGYNATURE Day Cream comes in. Skin moisture levels of test persons increased by 40 percent in trials, their skin became 12 percent smoother and their skin’s natural hyaluronic acid production increased by up to 15 percent. The concentration of hyaluronic acid, the skin’s own natural moisture molecule, decreases as a result of aging and environmental
It helps the skin help itself. We stimulate the skin’s own natural functions to restore optimum performance. Because cellular activity is so essential, all of the products contain organic caffeine. In addition, the special applicator for the eye serum is designed to motivate the target group of women age 20 and over to care for the sensitive skin around their eyes on a regular basis. That is extremely important from this age onward.
_ Where did you get the idea for the lipo-extract from the stem cells of the Black Forest Rose?
2 STRENGTHENING
When the Black Forest Rose was presented and officially named by the breeders W. Kordes’ Söhne at the 2010 Landesgartenschau, we quickly realized that this plant could be an interesting ingredient for our natural cosmetics from the Black Forest. The diverse properties of the rose make it a popular ingredient in cosmetics. It is anti-inflammatory and soothing, while also supplying moisture and smoothing the skin. Because this rose is a new
13
variety, we can also assume that it has unique traits. We therefore thought it would make a good candidate for stem cell research. This harmonizes with ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND’s philosophy of sustainability through responsible treatment of nature.

_ What exactly does the lipo-extract do?
The lipo-extract from the Black Forest Rose facilitates better transport of water between the skin cells and stimulates the skin’s own hyaluronic acid production processes. The skin’s natural moisture balance is restored, leaving it smooth and velvety soft. In-vitro test results show cell hydration of up to 30 percent and confirm the extract’s moisturizing properties.

influences, but can be boosted through the use of products containing it as an ingredient. The same is true of collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Extract from the Black Forest Rose has an activating effect here as well. Le Loarer is excited: “The modes of action of the lipo-extract are perfectly suited to a pre-aging product like ENERGYNATURE Day Cream However, the hydro-extract also has great characteristics that we will soon be using in a product.”

or overproduction are the only things that may keep the skin from being its best. If the skin produces too much oil, it may tend to impurities. Or it may suffer from a slight lack of moisture, which is then exacerbated by inadequate sleep, too much stress and other environmental influences. Many young women have a tendency to combination skin in which zones of the face can be both oily and dry.

impurities. Both products also remove make-up gently and thoroughly. So does the mild cleansing emulsion in the ZZ SENSITIVE system-based skin care series. Its pre- and probiotic active ingredient complex helps the skin protect its own natural flora. From age 20 onward, young consumers should learn to be consistent in caring for their eye area as well. This delicate skin zone suffers especially quickly from partying till dawn and lack of sleep. Dark shadows, the first fine lines and eye bags may appear as a result.

YOUNG SKIN DOES NOT NEED ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS YET After cleansing, the daily routine should also include skin care tailored to the individual skin type. Young women who want to take good care of their skin often turn to anti-aging products in the belief that these will prevent wrinkles from forming – hoping that ‘targeted moisturizing’ will prevent aging in the first place. However, visible aging of the skin does not begin until after 30. Active anti-aging treatments with cosmetic agents are not useful or effective until that point. Creams developed especially for older skin usually contain active ingredients that young skin does not yet need. They can be too rich and may cause blemishes. It is even possible that the active
anti-aging substances may disrupt the skin’s natural ability to store water. And that moisture is essential for physiological processes and healthy skin. Our skin needs an adequate supply of water to function properly as a protective and defensive barrier. If that moisture is missing, the skin loses its elasticity. It develops scaly patches and becomes reddened and itchy. According to experts, hydrating the skin is one of the most effective ways of combating aging, one of the key objectives of the pre-aging series. The team of researchers at BÖRLIND GmbH followed this premise in developing the new system-based skin care series ENERGYNATURE. The substances used in the products for normal to dry skin, in particular the Black Forest Rose, help restore the skin’s natural moisture balance and reduce any signs of tiredness. The skin becomes smoother, feels velvety soft and radiates its true youthful beauty.

hen it smells like the ocean and the big, wide world, when you are greeted with ‘Goedendag’ and have to crane your neck to glimpse the tips of the skyscrapers, then you must be in Rotterdam. The second-largest city in the Netherlands is not exactly a center of tourism. After all, the ‘Manhattan on the Meuse’ does not have the quaint charm of other Dutch towns. However, this city does beguile its visitors with bold architecture, a bustling design scene and hip bars. Rotterdam lives on fresh ideas, and that spirit can be seen and felt everywhere. This is attributable, among other things, to the city’s history. In World War II, airstrikes by the German Luftwaffe razed the city to the ground in just
a few days. Instead of rebuilding the old, the inhabitants of Rotterdam struck out to create something entirely new. Today, it is with good reason that the New York Times writes: “Rotterdam is increasingly to architecture what Paris is to fashion, or Los Angeles to entertainment.” There is lots to discover.

PAST FERRIES AND BARGES A particular attraction is the largest port in all of Europe. If you want to ride a bike along the dock, you will need to plan in at least half a day. Exploring the port is easier in one of the Spido boats that glide past the ferries, yachts and tugboats. The striking Erasmus Bridge, also known as the ‘Swan,’ is always part of the backdrop. Don’t forget to stop by the group of the dice-like cube houses designed by the Dutch architect Piet Blom. He grouped 51 of them as an ensemble in Rotterdam that was
completed in 1984. They contain studios and offices on the bottom and homes on the top. Simultaneously, the complex also serves as a pedestrian bridge over a main thoroughfare. One of the cubes is open to visitors.
GIGANTIC STRAWBERRIES ON THE CEILING All of this sightseeing will make you hungry – and the best place to satisfy that hunger is the Markthal (5) near the cube houses. Countless stands sell tapas, mezze and antipasti in a building so large that an airplane could
land in it. And there is plenty more to see, just by looking up: The ceiling is adorned with the Horn of Plenty, a mural depicting huge strawberries, avocados, wheat and shrimp. The beautiful monster was made by artist Arno Coenen with software otherwise intended for animated movies. By contrast, Hotel New York tells the story of a time in which such movies were a thing of the distant future and people dreamed of emigrating to America.

GENTLE SHAPING ‘Contouring’ is a game of light and shadows. It is a special technique for emphasizing facial features. After a base of foundation has been applied to the skin, a powder such as ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND Bronzing Compact Powder or compact foundation is used to either shade the desired area or highlight it. This makes the facial features recede into the background or stand out accordingly. Contouring relies on the principles of optical illusion.

SPECIAL FRAGRANCE
NATURAL WOMAN 01 — 2016
FRAGRANCE
A sensuous promise Fragrances usually play a subordinate role in natural cosmetics. At ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, however, they are an integral part of our philosophy.
A
n Italian vacation, the smell of Christmas cookies or the perfume worn by a first love – scents lure us into the past, trigger deep emotions and bring back forgotten memories. They also warn us of danger, such as when something is on fire or food has become spoiled. Immediately following birth, infants use their vital sense of smell to guide them to their mother’s milk.
FRAGRANCES PENETRATE TO THE VERY CORE OF OUR EMOTIONAL BEING Every olfactory cell has a direct neural connection to the limbic system, the part of our brain that gives rise to emotions and stores our memories. All the scents we encountered from birth onward are stored here together with the situation in which we perceived them. In this way, scents can trigger certain memories even after many decades and evoke strong psychoactive responses. They can make us feel happy, scared or relaxed. They can help us fall asleep, decrease the production of stress hormones or simply make us feel good. Taking all this into consideration, who wouldn’t want their daily skin care routine to promote their sense of well-being with high-quality ingredients and pleasant scents? Finding the perfect fragrance
composition for a cream is a challenge, however. Some natural ingredients such as algae have their own inherent smell. The real artistry is bringing the ingredients into harmony with natural fragrances. Our sense of smell is closely linked to our emotions, making this process even more difficult. Everyone reacts to a fragrance differently. What smells good to one person might be repulsive to another. What’s more, in contrast to synthetic fragrances, natural fragrances volatilize very quickly. It cannot simply be assumed that a cream will still smell the same after an extended period of use. Fragrance experiences are therefore still largely uncharted territory in the world of natural cosmetics. But not at ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND.
THE PRODUCTS ARE DESIGNED TO DELIGHT THE SENSES In order to crown the various system-based skin care series with sensuous fragrances, the company works together with perfumers in the French town of Grasse who also collaborate with large perfume manufacturers. “The basic benefits of cosmetics are care and beauty. But we want to offer more. We want the benefits of our products to be experienced on an emotional plane – through their fragrances – as soon as they’re applied.” After all, fragrances trigger emotions.
