ilon achieves more.

Naturalness with Tradition – and Social Commitment.

For decades, the foundation behind ilon has supported projects in Germany and worldwide. Because where humanity meets responsibility, commitment leaves a lasting mark.

About ilon – Natural Support for the Skin since 1929

Over millions of years, nature has developed its own intelligence – it knows how to protect, strengthen, and regenerate.
ilon utilizes this natural wisdom and nature’s valuable ingredients.

At the heart of our formulations is a special active ingredient: the resin of conifers. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties have been known in folk medicine for centuries and have lost none of their effectiveness to this day. Just as resin protects and strengthens trees, it also supports the skin.

Through continuous innovation and further development, ilon remains at the cutting edge, making the power of nature optimally usable for the skin.

An approach that relies on effectiveness and respect for nature.

More than a brand: ilon does good and achieves good

Sometimes help begins quietly and unnoticed – by reaching for a product on the shelf.
What many do not know: Behind ilon is a company with special responsibility.

Cesra Arzneimittel – a company that not only develops and manufactures products but also gives back.

Because Cesra is 100% owned by the Redel Foundation – a non-profit organization that supports people in need worldwide.

Every purchase helps – concretely

All proceeds not required for reinvestment flow directly into Redel Foundation projects.

  • This creates wells with clean drinking water.

Expertise for safe application

Herbal medicines and medical cosmetics require professional application. Therefore, we work closely with doctors, naturopaths, and pharmacists – and provide comprehensive specialist information as well as practical training materials.

Commitment to a better world

“To help people” – under this guiding principle, the Redel Foundation has been committed to long-term aid projects worldwide since 1988.

Whether in the region or on other continents: The foundation stands for sustainable support, education, medical care, and genuine help for self-help – regardless of political systems, religions, or borders.

In addition to acute emergency aid through medical supplies and financial donations, the Redel Foundation primarily supports projects that open up long-term perspectives for disadvantaged people – in Asia, Africa, South America, and right here locally.

The guiding principle “to help people” shapes every decision – with responsibility, conviction, and heart.

Helping people – with the best of nature

We believe that true effectiveness arises from a mindful connection: between people and nature, knowledge and responsibility, need and trust. That is why our focus is not only on herbal ingredients but, above all, on the people who use our products.

Every person is different. That is why we develop our medicines, medical devices, and medical cosmetics with the aim of making them as well-tolerated, practical, and effective as possible – for noticeable care and support in daily life.
