IMPACT AND RESPONSIBILITY

RAW MATERIALS

We favor domestic raw materials, their producers and processors, and industrial by-products.

The herbs we use come from the organic fields of the Herb Shop in Satakunta. The raw material for the seed oils is seeds separated from the side stream of the berry industry, from which the oil has been extracted using environmentally friendly supercritical carbon dioxide extraction at the Aromtech factory in Tornio. We also use berry leaves that come as a side stream as raw materials. Spruce cones are collected in Kainuu with the permission of forest owners. The collection is carried out in accordance with sustainable principles, without damaging the trees or the ecosystem.

MARKETING

It is of paramount importance to us that our customers receive useful and truthful information on which they can make a purchasing decision. Our basic marketing principle is to provide reliable, accurate, science-based and understandable information about our products and raw materials, in compliance with the EU Cosmetics Regulation (1223/2009/EC). We use research results on our products and raw materials, as well as scientific peer-reviewed articles, to support our marketing.

DOMESTICITY

We prefer domestic suppliers of raw materials and are happy to cooperate with domestic companies. Our company is based in Kainuu, Sotkamo, where all our products are manufactured. The products have been awarded the key flag as a sign of Finnish production.

SAFETY

The products have been tested to meet the strict safety and quality requirements set for cosmetics in accordance with the EU Cosmetics Regulation.

PRODUCT RESPONSIBILITY AND RECYCLING

Producer responsibility means that our company is responsible for the treatment and recycling of packaging waste. This is part of the legal obligations that ensure that all packaging materials end up in the right place and can be reused.

We are part of the Rinki system, which takes care of packaging recycling in Finland. This means that we work responsibly together with other companies to ensure that packaging waste is collected, recycled and treated in an environmentally friendly way.

Product-specific packaging recycling instructions can be found in the link to each product description.
