TAKING RESPONSIBILITY ONE STEP FURTHER

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY

Water is one of the most important resources: it is not only required as a component of hair and body care products, but also for their production and cleaning. That is why we are committed to using it conscientiously - and use state-of-the-art technologies such as osmosis systems, steam cleaning and pigging systems. Each of these technologies contributes significantly to water reduction in the manufacture of our products.

The aspect of sustainability is also ever present in the packaging section at MANN & SCHRÖDER COSMETICS. When our alkmene® brand was relaunched in 2017, all the body lotion and shampoo bottles were made from 100% recycled materials for the first time in line with its natural credentials. We also look to dispense with additional outer packaging for our products where possible (e.g. folding boxes) or to ensure that we use packaging materials with the highest possible percentage of recycled materials.
