The packaging material of our UND GRETEL cosmetic products consists of sustainable materials like metal, cardboard, porcelain and glass. Unfortunately, we have not yet found the solution to eliminate plastic fully.
From the very beginning, we have focused on minimalism with our product line. Because the most effective way to avoid waste and burden on the environment is to reduce consumption. That's why we don't go along with every trend, but instead rely on a deliberately reduced line with our UND GRETEL favourites, which can also be mixed and combined very well with each other due to the natural ingredients and color pigments - we call it pigment pairing.
For example, two lipstick colors can be easily mixed into a third - this way we avoid a huge color palette that encourages consumption. You can find more about pigment pairing in our blog post.
When it comes to our outer packaging, it has always been important to us to avoid extra wrappers made out of plastic.
It has always been important to us to avoid using extra plastic film for our outer packaging. The outer packaging of our products is made from natural, FSC-certified cardboard. The inks used to print the small protective outer packaging are also made from mineral oil-free, organic pigments for environmentally friendly printing.
Of course, our sustainable approach also includes shipping: Your UND GRETEL products are shipped to you in recyclable shipping boxes. Only raw materials from sustainable forestry and controlled sources are used for these packaging materials.
