Sustainability
Naturally!
AT LA BIOSTHETIQUE, SUSTAINABILITY IS MORE THAN JUST A WORD.
Helping to shape the future for upcoming generations is one of our most important desires. In fact, we have been playing a pioneering role in all areas of sustainability ever since the 1980s. Most of our products are made at our own production facilities in the Black Forest, 90 % of our ingredients are of natural origin and our production site uses 100 % eco-energy.
Since 2019, our commitment to climate protec-tion has been based on a comprehensive analysis of our carbon footprint. We are determined to meet the 1.5°C climate goal of the Paris Agreement and to reduce our CO2 emissions by 20 % by 2030.
«In our products, we use as few synthetic substances and as much nature as possible.»
- Marcel Contier, founder of La Biosthétique
Award- winning strategy
At La Biosthétique, a sustainable approach is not a trend but a living tradition. In fact, it has led us to achieve significant recognition, for example the Global Transition Award and other prizes. We consider each of these awards to be a great honour and an even greater incentive to continue our climate journey and to further develop sustaina-bility consistently and in cooperation with our salon partners, employees and suppliers.
No Animal Testing
La Biosthétique has never conducted any animal testing. As a company, we are convinced that we can develop safe and effective products without testing on animals.
Tradition meets innovation
ALEXANDER DIN TER (CREATIVE DIRECTOR) TALKS ABOUT THE SUSTAINABLE CORPORATE CULTURE.
How important is environmental protection at La Biosthétique?
Extremely! We are committed to protecting the environment for future generations. This is why we work tirelessly to be a pioneer in this area and we constantly invest in new technologies and processes that make our products even better.
What role do you play in this process, and what makes La Biosthétique stand out from other brands in this area?
As a long-standing Creative Director at La Biosthétique, I am closely involved in the development of many products, often also as a provider of ideas. The standard has always been very high at our company, which is why our development activities take place in-house with our own team of experts. As a result, we do not need to make any compromises whatsoever when it comes to the origin of our ingredients or the performance and quality of our products.
Do you have a concrete example?
Velvet Finish Paste is a wonderful example. It uses purely natural waxes from the carnauba palm and wax myrtle to shape and care for the hair and contains the white clay kaolin, which gives the hair a silky matte shimmer. Its product packaging also marks the start of a pilot project of which we are very proud indeed. We have teamed up with one of the largest packing manufacturers in Europe to bring a plant-based pot using highly innovative material onto the market.
Natural Ingredients
At La Biosthétique, we strive to use ingredients of natural origin as often as possible in the development and production of the finest professional products. Since 2018, the overall natural origin content of our products has been 90%.
Eco-energy
Since 2008, we have been using 100% certified green electricity. This allows us to save more than 350 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
Carbon RESPONSIBLE
Sustainability is an important factor in our corporate culture. External assessment ensures our entire process, from development to production, packaging and delivery of our products, remains carbon responsible.
Recyclable
Our packaging, from bottles to boxes, is 100% recyclable.
Made in Germany
Quality “Made in Germany” is our philosophy, crafting exclusive products tailored to our customers’ individual needs; including color, styling, hair care and skin care.
Dermatologically tested
100% of La Biosthétique products have been tested by renowned dermatological institutes within the European cosmetic directive.
