Naturprodukte Schwarz

Naturprodukte Schwarz is a German maker of plant-based body care, skin care and home-remedy products, based in Contwig. The company was founded in 1986 with the idea of making and selling traditional home remedies from natural, unprocessed raw materials [2], and it says it both develops and manufactures its products in Germany [1].

The business is family-run and small: a company profile on the green-business directory LifeVERDE puts its staff at one to ten employees [12]. Its range centres on oils, ointments and creams for joints and muscles, legs and feet, and skin prone to conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. The products are sold through specialist retailers, pharmaceutical wholesalers, pharmacies and the company's own online shop.

According to the company's own account, the founding in 1986 grew out of a family tradition. Over several generations, the family had gathered, used and handed down knowledge about active substances found in nature, and the new business set out to turn that knowledge into proven household remedies [2].

The company's history names a Mr Schwarz as a central figure. His study of medicinal plants and their use in naturopathic treatment, the company says, led him to become a naturopath (a practitioner of nature-based healing methods, known in German as a Naturheilkundler). That path in turn produced further recipes and refinements, which the company says are used across a number of its products. The account gives no first name and does not describe him explicitly as the founder, so the founders of the business are not documented by name.

Since then the business has widened its reach: by its own account, its products are now available through the specialist trade, pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacies as well as its own online shop.

Naturprodukte Schwarz is an independent family business. Its legal entity is Naturprodukte Schwarz GmbH, a German limited-liability company entered in the commercial register in Zweibrücken, with Beate Schwarz as managing director [3]. The LifeVERDE profile gives the same founding year for the GmbH and names Beate Schwarz as managing director, describing the company as a family business "from tradition and conviction" [12]. No parent company or acquisition history is documented.

The company sums up its outlook in the phrase "Natur Pur – Ihrem Körper zu Liebe", which translates roughly as "pure nature, for the sake of your body". It describes this as a way of life that has guided it from the start, aimed at well-being, health and more enjoyment of life, and says its products are always designed with people's health and well-being in mind [2].

In practice, that philosophy is expressed mostly through what the products leave out. Under the heading of its "product promise", Naturprodukte Schwarz says its formulas contain no synthetic colours or fragrances, no chemical preservatives, and no paraffin, silicone or mineral oils [6]. The same wording recurs across several of its product lines, and the homepage presents a group of plant-based ointments specifically as made without mineral oils.

In its self-description on LifeVERDE, the company adds further claims: organic quality made in Germany, raw materials from certified organic farming and from wild collection, purely plant-based oils and active ingredients, no parabens, environmentally friendly packaging, a selection of vegan products, and opposition to animal testing [12]. The directory itself notes that its listing is based on information supplied by the company and is not a certification or overall sustainability rating. The company states on its own website that it is a member of ICADA, a German trade association for natural cosmetics; no independent product certification is documented.

The company organises part of its range into dedicated product lines, each built around a different set of plant oils and extracts.

Mammutöl is a herbal massage oil combining devil's claw and frankincense. The company describes a blend of concentrated herb and medicinal-plant extracts: rosemary and juniper essential oils to create a feeling of warmth, arnica, eucalyptus and frankincense for muscles and joints, and St John's wort, clove and willow bark to calm the skin. The base is sunflower and evening primrose oil with natural vitamin E, and African devil's claw is added as a powder. The company presents it as a massage oil for tension, sore muscles and joint and back discomfort, and says it is also valued by massage therapists [4]. A companion Mammutbalsam, a herbal balm with frankincense, is offered alongside it.

PSO Intensiv is a line of creams and shampoos for dry skin and skin affected by psoriasis, built around evening primrose oil and hemp seed oil [5]. NeuroPsori covers similar ground for eczema (neurodermatitis) and psoriasis. Its featured product is an organic skin oil with evening primrose oil, and the line also includes a shampoo without silicones and sulfates and a lip balm made without perfume or mineral oils [8].

Akne Ex is aimed at blemish-prone skin. According to the company, its cream contains plant ingredients including tea tree oil, sage oil, magnolia extract, bakuchiol (a plant compound used in skin care) and black cumin oil [6].

Foot and nail care forms another large part of the range. The FuPi products, a foot spray and a foot cream, pair tea tree oil with manuka oil and are marketed for care of feet affected by athlete's foot. A nail oil uses the same combination of manuka and tea tree, and a nail balm is made with botanical silicon, wheat proteins and avocado oil.

A group of traditional plant ointments reflects the company's home-remedy roots. It includes a calendula (marigold) ointment with organic calendula, organic almond oil and vitamin E; a comfrey ointment with comfrey root extract and arnica; a sage ointment with propolis and avocado oil; an arnica ointment for joints and muscles; and a black cumin oil and kanuka ointment for itching and dry skin. There is also a leg-care range based on sweet clover (Steinklee), several lip balms, including a vegan manuka lip balm and a glycerin-free version scented with pomegranate, as well as natural soaps and a neem shampoo with willow bark and coconut.

More recent additions include a water-free hand balm with lavender and rosemary, made with berry wax, beeswax and organic coconut oil, which the company presents as especially suited to very dry or cracked hands.

Beyond cosmetics, the company's shop also sells dietary supplements such as nail capsules with biotin and zinc and ashwagandha capsules, cold-pressed Egyptian black cumin oil, superfoods, and care and insect-protection products for pets. It also carries a line of Bregenzerwald mountain-fir (Bergtannen) products among its product lines, although it does not state whether it makes these itself.

Naturprodukte Schwarz is active. As of September 2026, its online shop was operating with a current range, special offers and a section for new products, and the site footer was dated 2026 [1]. No dated product launches or news announcements are documented. The company's website is in German only, and its described distribution is centred on Germany, through specialist retailers, pharmaceutical wholesalers, pharmacies and its own shop. The website also notes that Google AI is used to optimise some of its product images.
