Packaging
Packaging and shipping are key areas where we focus on resource-efficient development. Nearly 95% of our high-quality packaging is sourced from Europe, and 100% of our bulk product materials are European. Our shipping boxes are made from 80% recycled cardboard, and we completely avoid using Styrofoam. All folding cartons and printed materials, including brochures and posters, are FSC certified.
Ingredients
All our formulations are cruelty-free and prioritize natural, safe, and highly effective ingredients derived from plant-based and biotechnological sources. We avoid potentially irritating substances such as fragrance allergens and dyes, which makes our Sensitive Skin line suitable for oncological skincare during chemotherapy.plastic waste. By eliminating plastic caps on our dispensers, we save nearly 2 tonnes of plastic annually. Since early 2023, we have phased out cellophane wrapping on most product lines, except for a few that require extra protection. Our goal is to achieve 100% plastic-free packaging and continue advancing these efforts.

We use only high-quality natural materials from regional suppliers, creating a safe, healthy, and attractive working environment for our dedicated employees.
Our team is the heart of our success. We invest in their growth through internal workshops, training, and continuous education to support sustainable business development. We also encourage e-mobility by providing charging stations, company e-vehicles, and using electric forklift trucks in our warehouse to minimize CO2 emissions.
