In “Let’s talk…” we explain the differences between the materials, products and product categories you can find in our store versus in “mainstream” stores. Because which options are more sustainable? And what makes these options the fair choice? In this post: Let’s talk skincare!
MAINSTREAM SKINCARE
TOXINS
Mainstream skincare is often full of toxins like parabens, synthetic perfumes, microplastics and alcohol. These toxins will damage your natural skin barrier and can cause allergic reactions. Microplastics can even make up to 90% of the ingredients of your cosmetics.

OUR SKINCARE
NATURAL INGREDIENTS
Our skincare brands like CÎME, Witlof & Food For Skin produce products that are 100% natural. Harm-free for the environment & harm-free for your skin.
VEGAN & CRUELTY FREE
Since 2013 animal testing is prohibited in Europe. However, brands that produce outside of Europe often do use animal testing. The products that you find in our Body & Mind sections are vegan & cruelty-free.
ECO PACKAGING
Cardboard, plant-based materials and glass are sustainable alternatives to virgin plastic packaging. The products that are not 100% plastic-free are made from recycled plastic collected from the ocean or post-consumer waste.
