Kami was developed by a doctor who wanted a gentle, effective skincare product for her own child’s sensitive skin.

What makes it unique:

• a minimalist, high-quality formula
  
• carefully selected natural oils and butters
• maximum skin compatibility for delicate children’s skin
• ideal for dry, irritated or stressed areas
  

Kami avoids unnecessary additives and focuses on nourishing plant oils that help soothe, moisturise and protect the skin — perfect for simple, gentle family care.

Kami supports sensitive skin by:

• providing nourishing lipids
• helping the skin retain moisture with a gentle protective layer
• making dry patches feel softer and smoother
• supporting the skin barrier as part of daily care
  

The formula is designed to comfort and care for the skin — without harsh ingredients.

Every child’s skin is different. Many parents notice the skin feeling softer after the first application.

For very dry or reactive areas, it may take a few days until the skin appears visibly calmer.

Important: Kami is not a medical treatment, but it can support daily skincare very well.

As with most skincare products, it is recommended to store the KAMI products as follows:

• keep in a cool, dark place
• avoid direct sunlight
• always use clean hands to scoop out the product

This helps keep the balm fresh and hygienic for as long as possible.

Yes, some KAMI products do contain marmot oil. This oil has been used for centuries in traditional European medicine for its strong anti-inflammatory properties. Even today, there are scientific studies – although not many – that confirm its effectiveness.

Why does KAMI use marmot oil?

The founder of KAMI spent a long time looking for a natural, well-tolerated alternative to cortisone. For the desired anti-inflammatory effect, marmot oil turned out to be the most effective natural option. A vegan alternative with comparable results has not yet been found (with the exception of our vegan washing fluid).

Important to know:

1. Marmots are not hunted specifically for their oil.
2. Their population is regulated – similar to other wildlife – to prevent disease and maintain a healthy, stable population.
3. The animals live in the wild, are hunted responsibly, and are fully utilized: meat, fat and fur.
4. Alpine marmots are classified as not endangered and are not listed under the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
   

For those who prefer fully vegan options, KAMI also offers an alternative: our vegan washing fluid, which uses sustainably sourced copaiba balsam instead of marmot oil.
