The challenge
Brittle nails and dull skin are daily challenges for many women. Although there are numerous products that are supposed to improve skin and nails, many are expensive and contain unnecessary additives with no real benefit. In addition, there are ingredients such as phytoestrogens that are not suitable for every woman, or active ingredients whose effect has not been scientifically proven - or which only work in much higher doses.
Our answer
Be4 Skin+Nail form
Our special skin complex supports skin and nails in three ways: Biotin in its pure form (vitamin B8) ensures that normal skin is maintained, so that you can enjoy a rosy complexion. Highly bioavailable zinc bisglycinate in chelate form is absorbed particularly effectively by binding to the natural amino acid glycine and helps to strengthen your nails and protect the cells from oxidative stress.
But the heart of the formulation is our innovative triple complex of natural carotenoids: high-quality lutein and zeaxanthin from the branded raw material FloraGLO® are combined with natural lycopene from tomato extract. We do not use the commonly used synthetic mesozeaxanthin - a replica of the naturally occurring zeaxanthin that can compete with it for absorption into the cells.
The fat-soluble plant substances have an antioxidant effect and are better absorbed by the body when combined with cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil. Once absorbed by the body, these carotenoids are stored in the skin and act as a natural protection . Perfect care from the inside for an external radiance that inspires!
The new Ehrlich
The market is flooded with products that claim to be scientifically based and premium - bullshit. They are often enriched with cheap raw materials, incorrect dosage or nonsensical multi-ingredient mixtures - "fairground mixtures" as we call them. The aim is to offer as many trendy raw materials as possible in low dosages, usually without any benefit. Enough of that - it's about our health!
Our approach: At the start of product development, a team of scientific staff examines all relevant studies, including raw materials, dosages, dosage form and co-factors. Branded raw materials are analyzed for additives and manufacturing methods. Our interdisciplinary team of doctors, alternative practitioners, nutritionists and product developers then discusses the results and determines the next steps.
The difference: products with scientifically based recipes and real benefits. We only use the highest quality raw materials in study-based dosages and without unnecessary additives .
Honestly good for your health. Pinky Swear – Period!
Things to know
Carotenoids – natural power for healthy skin & nails
In addition to the important trace element zinc in its highly bioavailable, organically bound form zinc bisglycinate and the B vitamin biotin , at Be4 we also rely on the power of carotenoids to offer you natural support for your skin and nails.
Carotenoids belong to the group of secondary plant substances that are found in many types of fruit and vegetables and give them their bright colors. Plants such as tomatoes, which contain lycopene , or marigolds, from which valuable lutein and zeaxanthin are extracted, are particularly rich in carotenoids. In addition to their natural coloring, they are particularly known for their antioxidant properties.
Highly dosed and gently extracted, the fat-soluble carotenoids in Be4 are optimally absorbed by the body thanks to their embedding in cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil. Once there, they are stored in the skin, among other things.
Good to know : Orange skin due to carotenoids? It's usually not that bad. But it is scientifically recognized that carotenoids are stored by the body in the skin and protect it from oxidative stress, e.g. from UV radiation. At the same time, they ensure a fresh complexion (1).

Why did we decide against collagen, silicon and elastane?
The answer is relatively simple: All of these ingredients either do not have sufficient evidence, or it is not possible to combine them with other ingredients in sufficiently high doses. Collagen, for example, is a macroprotein of which you need to consume 5 to 15 g per day - almost impossible to achieve with capsules. Because we do not want to use ingredients that are ineffective or dosed too low, you will not find these substances in our ingredients.

FAQ - The most frequently asked questions
FemBe Skin+Nail formula is generally well tolerated. However, people with known allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients should consult a doctor before use.
Results may vary depending on individual condition and needs, but as a general rule we recommend being patient and using FemBe Skin+Nail Formula regularly for at least four to six weeks to see visible improvement.
Drinking enough water and moisturizing help the skin to stay elastic and strengthen the nails. The skin should be protected from UV rays and chemicals. Gentle care and sufficient sleep also support regeneration.
No, at FemBe we focus on the essentials and therefore avoid unnecessary additives. Our products contain only high-quality branded raw materials and are developed taking into account the latest scientific findings.
Frequent washing, aggressive nail polish removers, lack of moisture, lack of nutrients, constant contact with chemicals and excessive pressure (e.g. from nail biting) weaken the nails. Stress, artificial nails and an unhealthy diet can also have a negative effect on the nail structure.
UV radiation, environmental pollution, incorrect care products, excessive cleansing and a lack of moisture damage the skin. Unhealthy diet, stress, smoking and lack of sleep can also lead to premature skin aging and a dull, dry complexion.
Poor skin and brittle nails are often caused by a lack of sufficient vitamins and minerals such as biotin, zinc, vitamins A, C and E. Iron deficiency, too few omega-3 fatty acids and insufficient fluid intake can also play a role.
