If you ask me to describe myself in one sentence, I’d say: I’m a quirky, nature-loving, book-devouring, waste-free-living, planet-cleaning, oil-pressing, herb-collecting, food-exploring, and travel-obsessed greenfluencer. But since that’s quite a mouthful, let me take you on a journey through the things that make me… well, me!
A Passion for Organic Farming – my 14er Bio-Öle aus dem Marchfeld Connection
My roots (quite literally) are deeply intertwined with the Marchfeld in lower austria, where my family cultivates high-quality oilseeds to produce cold-pressed organic oils. Working on my brother’s organic farm and seeing firsthand how powerful nature is has shaped my view on sustainability and skincare.
Why use petrol-based skincare when nature provides everything we need? This question led me down the path of herbalism and botanical skincare, which later became the foundation of unmasked nature.
Herbs, Skincare, and my Love for Botanical Alchemy

I am a certified herbalist, and I see plants as more than just greenery – they are tiny powerhouses of healing.
Turning them into skincare, remedies, or simply enjoying their beauty in nature is my personal form of magic.
There’s something incredibly fulfilling about crafting a skin balm, knowing exactly where every ingredient comes from and how it nourishes the skin.
With unmasked nature, I want to share this knowledge, making it easy for others to create high-quality, natural skincare at home.
Waste-Free Living & Cleaning Up Our Planet
I don’t just want to live in harmony with nature; I want to protect it. The plastic pollution on our fields, in our oceans, and in our everyday lives frustrates me. That’s why my philosophy is simple: reuse, make your own, and reduce plastic waste.
Whether it’s formulating refillable nature in a pocket products or hosting workshops where people learn to create sustainable skincare, I’m on a mission to help people reconnect with nature while minimizing waste.
Wanderlust & A Curious Palate
If I’m not knee-deep in herbal experiments or working on the farm, you’ll probably find me backpacking through some part of the world, staying in hostels, sharing stories with fellow travelers, and trying out food I’ve never even heard of before.
To me, travel is more than just seeing new places – it’s about experiencing cultures, flavors, and perspectives that challenge and inspire me.
A Book Lover at Heart
Books have always been my escape, my inspiration, and my way of understanding the world. Whether it’s herbal medicine, sustainability, history, or an epic novel that takes me on an adventure, I always have a book (or three) within reach. I believe that knowledge is one of the greatest tools for change, and that’s why I love sharing my passion for herbs, skincare, and sustainability with others.
Why I Created Unmasked Nature
I started unmasked nature because I believe in transparency, in quality, and in the power of nature. I want people to feel empowered to create their own skincare, to understand what they put on their bodies, and to reconnect with the natural world.
My journey – from organic farming to herbalism, from a passion for travel to a love for books – all intertwines into this one mission: to help people live more naturally, more sustainably, and more consciously.
So, here I am – a little quirky, a little stubborn, but always driven by my love for nature and a desire to make a difference. Welcome to my world, and welcome to unmasked nature.
