100% transparency toward our consumers

In addition to our products that promote health and well-being, we educate consumers about our journey and encourage further sustainable action.

Our vision is a world where we all feel good in our skin. This starts in our workplace and extends to our diverse supply chains and community partnerships.

We are striving to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain and want to contribute to the protection, care and nurturing of land and water by fostering a circular use of resources.

Our strategy to CARE BEYOND SKIN and make a positive impact on the environment and society covers the entire value chain – from ingredient supplier to end consumer.
