Our métier exists between what is time-bound and what is timeless. PHYSIK is defined by a narrow and deliberate focus. We cultivate where care is exacting, quality is finite, and standards of excellence endure.
What appears simple is the result of long consideration, inherited knowledge, and an uncompromising regard for material integrity. Here, devotion reveals beauty, and vitality becomes a practice of daily life.
We work exclusively with seeds of rare provenance, farmed at the highest standard we know within Austria’s heritage of biodynamic agriculture, yielding luxuriant foods of peerless purity.
PUMPKIN SEED OIL
The founding oil
Within Austria lives a particular wisdom long observed by its Alpine clinics and sanctuaries: that natural beauty is the expression of a body in balance. Born of the heirloom Styrian pumpkin seed, pumpkin seed oil remains among Austria’s most enduring naturopathic traditions. Gently cold-pressed from raw seeds by a sixth-generation miller in one of Austria’s pristine protected ecosystems, each bottle is filled on the miller’s acreage at a considered volume of 250ml. The oil is singular in composition and distinguished by a range of restorative virtues. Taken daily, as balance returns within the body, it becomes a practice through which this essence of refinement in wellness is made one's own.
100% Biodynamic Heirloom Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil The heirloom Styrian pumpkin is a hulless variety native to Austria’s cool climate, fertile soils, and the generational hand of its growers. Few seeds belong so wholly to the place in which they are grown.

Among these virtues, pumpkin seed oil’s support for hair density and follicular vitality is particularly significant. Human clinical trials of oral supplementation have documented increases in hair count and regrowth, together with reductions in hair-shaft diversity. Its phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol, and linoleic acid have been studied in relation to 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme involved in androgen metabolism and pattern hair loss. The oil is naturally rich in unsaturated fatty acids and contains tocopherols (Vitamin E), carotenoids, including beta-carotene (Provitamin A), phytosterols, polyphenols, squalene, and chlorophyll. Its tocopherols, carotenoids, polyphenols, and squalene work in concert, contributing to the body’s defenses against oxidative stress. Within this composition, squalene reveals an elegant correspondence between plant and body: present in botanical oils and human skin, it helps preserve the integrity of the skin’s surface. Research has associated dietary squalene with favorable changes in cholesterol levels and the body’s processing of fats, alongside reductions in markers of inflammation, pointing to a broader role in metabolic health. Beyond these findings, clinical research in postmenopausal women has documented improvements in menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flushes, headaches, and joint pain, symptoms that often emerge during perimenopause and may continue after menopause. Recognized for centuries in Austria as a medicinal oil, pumpkin seed oil was later integrated into the protocols of Modern Mayr Medicine. More recently, clinical studies documenting reductions in DNA methylation age, an epigenetic measure of biological aging, included pumpkin seed oil in their dietary guidance, reflecting its enduring place in contemporary inquiry. Over time, these properties support the visible qualities long associated with natural beauty.

A biodynamic farm is alive with interdependence: wildflowers growing between crops, herbal compost preparations intrinsic to the life of the soil, animals moving through the landscape, and fertility generated entirely from the farm itself. Guided by observation and intuition, the farm becomes one elegant living system governed by the celestial rhythms central to biodynamic cultivation, ever abundant through generations of agricultural know-how, sensitivity, and stewardship. Among the world’s rarest and most exacting approaches to cultivation, biodynamics remains central to Austria’s agricultural heritage, where the vitality of the land and the vitality of the harvest remain inseparable.

Our labels, seals, and stationery are printed in Austria on a 1914 Heidelberg press from custom-engraved brass plates. Printed onto mould-made paper milled in France, they retain the fibrous texture and quiet irregularities characteristic of handmade paper. The machine supports the craft — each letterpress label imprints ever so slightly differently. Our 250ml dark glass bottle is sized to preserve the oil at its freshest and deliver a controlled pour of a single tablespoon. Designed to rest naturally in the palm, the bottle opens to a plume of aromatics beneath an aluminum food-grade closure.
