    A Ritual of Care for Your Cycle

    Using The Hug is a moment to come home to your body. Whether you reach for it during PMS, menstruation, or any emotionally charged phase, this ritual invites you to reconnect with warmth, care, and intention.

    01 – Prepare

    Find a quiet moment. Whether you’re in bed, just waking up, or winding down your day. Give yourself a few slow breaths. Let your body settle before you begin.

    02 – Center

    Squeeze a hazelnut-sized amount into your palm. Let your breath deepen as you pause. Notice where in your body you feel called to bring attention.

    03 – Warm

    Gently warm the cream between your palms. Inhale the earthy scent of frankincense and St. John’s wort, a sensory cue to slow down and stay with yourself.

    04 – Apply

    Massage the cream with slow, circular motions into your lower belly or back. Allow your touch to be both firm and kind.

    05 – Let It Sink In

    Stay with yourself for a moment longer. Feel the warmth, the scent, and the rhythm of your breath. Let this be a quiet gesture of care toward your body.

    Why The Hug Is More Than Just a Cream

    The Hug was developed for those moments when your body calls for more presence. From cycle discomfort to emotional sensitivity, this formula is here to support you with plant-based ingredients, gentle textures, and a ritual that brings you back to your body.

    It’s about meeting yourself in stillness. The Hug was created to offer calm, through scent, warmth, and intentional care. Lightweight and non-greasy, it’s gentle enough for daily use, even on sensitive skin.

    This is your reminder: you don’t have to push through everything. You’re allowed to pause. The Hug was made for that pause.


    "In her sustainable products, Laura Simonow combines medicinal ingredients with soothing care at fair prices, thereby rethinking the concept of holism."

    This Place isn't just about natural cosmetics; we develop functional skincare that really supports you in your everyday life. That's why our formulas combine effective natural ingredients with scientifically proven research, gentle enough for everyday use—strong enough to be effective.

    For us, quality doesn't just start in the tube. It begins much earlier, with the question of what your skin really needs, with careful testing and responsible production. From vegan ingredients to fair manufacturing and sustainable packaging: everything we do is based on a holistic understanding of skincare. One that focuses on you—your skin, your time, your well-being. And the big picture too. Because natural cosmetics shouldn't just look good. They should make a difference.

    What touches your skin matters. And so does what surrounds it. At This Place, sustainability is not just an empty buzzword, but a silent promise. That's why, when it comes to natural skincare, we don't just think about the ingredients, but also about everything else: our packaging is carefully chosen to be simple, resource-efficient, and as environmentally friendly as possible. Because good skincare doesn't stop at the ingredients.
