• For shipping, the brand avoids cellophane and conventional plastic filling material and instead uses recycled protective paper. Plastic is only used where technically necessary, for example in roll-on applicators and closures in very small quantities.

WATER CONSUMPTION & CHEMICALS

The brand excludes CMR substances, endocrine disruptors, colourants, UV filters, BHT/BHA, phthalates, PEG/PPG, silicones, phenoxyethanol and microplastics from its formulations.
