Silver gray hair in a bun
Mrs. Satorius was a beautiful lady in her nineties. She came faithfully every month for a treatment in my first business: Studio Advisage in Amsterdam-Zuid.
She had the looks of a fifties movie star. With her silver hair in a bun, her beautiful, soft skin, sparkling eyes and youthful appearance, she looked breathtakingly beautiful. When I once asked Mrs. Satorius what her beauty secret was, she told me that every night before going to bed, she said to her own reflection: 'I am good as I am: what I see and what is naturally there, is beautiful.' This seemingly simple ritual made her incredibly self-confident and ensured that she still had a beautiful appearance – even into old age. She showed me that beauty also depends on how you treat yourself and how you see yourself.
Beauty Mantra
Mrs. Satorius was my source of inspiration for creating the Colour&Spice Beauty Mantra and saying it in front of the mirror every day. You cannot force yourself to look at yourself in a loving way, but you can develop it. The Beauty Mantra has helped me to look at my reflection in a more gentle and less judgmental way. Saying the Beauty Mantra helps you to let go of everything you have accepted as the truth, but that does not serve to look at yourself with love, more easily.
“She literally showed me that beauty is partly dependent on how you treat yourself and how you see yourself.”

Beauty Mantra Lotion
The Colour&Spice classic, the lotion where it all started.
'What if there was a product that would calm your mind before bed, soothe your skin, calm your spirit and give you a feeling of unconditional love?' It was 2009 when I asked myself this question and remembered the wise words of Mrs. Satorius.
Through herbalists, tight laboratories and a lot of research I came into contact with Ad van Oorschot, an experienced product developer of luxurious and revolutionary skincare formulas. Before he would leave the beauty industry for good, he wanted to contribute to a luxurious, natural skincare line with a vision that he himself truly believed in.
My perspective, the knowledge I had gained during my work at Dr. Hauschka and H2O Plus cosmetics and his expertise turned out to be a match made in heaven .
While I was running my practice, Ad brought together the most exclusive ingredients, herbal elixirs and flower extracts from all over the world in the now well-known brown apothecary bottles. During this process I tested all formulas in my treatments and gave my clients samples, which led to revolutionary products, a unique composition and exceptional results.
New ingredients
Even though more products are now produced than in the early years; each bottle is still composed by hand and we make small batches, so that the quality is guaranteed. The great thing is that thanks to the input of all our therapists, the selection of new ingredients is partly determined based on their expertise. We see in practice what the real effect is on the skin, also in the long term. I think that is partly why the Colour&Spice products are not just good, but the best you can give your skin.
Every product in our line goes through a transformation every now and then. We are always looking for new developments and because we make small batches, we can make adjustments quite easily. For example, we have now added a number of beautiful new active ingredients, such as the natural probiotics: the stem cells of Apium graveolens (celery). High-frequency ultrasound images show that after fifty-six days the skin has ninety percent more volume.
Another new ingredient is for example the Agave tequilana (blue agave). This type of agave comes from the energy of the sun. The solar energy is converted into a unique polysaccharide that softens the skin and provides it with energy. This substance has a longer lasting and more powerful effect on the hydration of the skin than hyaluronic acid.
And the gemstone extract malachite provides an airbrushed & natural glow and detox of tired skin.
It took two years before we could introduce the new Beauty Mantra Lotion. I am really happy with the result. During the testing of the latest version my skin became tighter and smoother and small pigment spots disappeared like snow in the sun. This is due to our magical mix: The Majestic Beauty Blend ©
Our Majestic Beauty Blend© is a synergistic complex of yeast extract ( Saccharomyces cereviciae ) and other extracts of five beneficial plants:
- Butcher's broom ( Ruscus aculeatus ) − root extract
- Centella asiatica (Asiatic pennywort) − leaf extract
- Marigold ( Calendula officinalis ) − flower extract
- Horse chestnut ( Aesculus hippocastanum ) − seed extract
- The roots of licorice ( Glycyrrhiza glabra )
It is a skin-softening and calming botanical complex that is rich in building blocks and flavonoids. Flavonoids have a beneficial effect on the skin, because they protect against free radicals and have a firming effect on the blood vessels and connective tissue. These substances are known to rejuvenate, firm and smooth the skin. The skin structure gets a boost and you will see that after regular use. This Majestic Beauty Blend © – which stimulates microcirculation to give the skin an even, natural glow – also has a calming effect. It strengthens the skin and has a soothing effect on couperose and dark circles.
Wild indigo
The seeds of the native Indian plant wild indigo block the production of cortisol (a stress hormone) in our skin. Skin cells produce cortisol in response to external stressors which can lead to redness, inflammation and a dull complexion, but an extra dose of wild indigo extract will calm all of this down. Wild indigo ( Tephrosia purpurea ) is used in Ayurvedic tradition for its many skin benefits. The extract of this plant provides a beautiful glow and improves skin tone within two weeks.
Gemstone extract malachite
Protects skin and hair from environmental stress (external influences), works as an antioxidant and has a detoxifying effect. Protects the skin from oxidative stress.
Blackcurrant buds
Botanical extract obtained from blackcurrant buds, organically grown. Soothes the skin and reduces inflammation.
This patented extract uses the embryonic properties of a growing plant. This plant immunotherapy can be defined as a way to transmit cellular energy and vital properties, to support our own organism and maintain our healthy skin.
