Natural cosmetics pioneer
A profound mastermind
Our founder Erb. Dipl. Dr. Joseph Franz discovered his passion for the world of plants at a very early age. His inexhaustible curiosity and deep knowledge of natural active ingredients led him to develop the world’s first Hightech Natural Cosmetics®.
What he pioneered over 40 years ago is today a sustainable, proven, certified natural skincare brand.

Our credo
Quality and efficacy
If you take the health of your skin seriously, you should trust someone who has been doing so since 1986. With over 35 years of experience in manufacturing certified natural cosmetics, we draw on a wealth of experience.
We have made it our mission to develop products that are both good for the body and good for the planet.
Nature has found answers to countless questions. We just have to look and engage with the genius that she possesses.

Green Future Project
True sustainability
We want to make a real contribution to a sustainable future through concrete actions and transparent processes. That’s why, in collaboration with Green Future Project, we measure our carbon footprint to improve our energy efficiency wherever possible.
We also support sustainable initiatives that help preserve biodiversity and restore damaged ecosystems: For every order in our webshop, we plant a mangrove seedling at the Marovolavo Planting Site in Madagascar. We also protect one square meter of rainforest in the Canadé Reserve in Ecuador.
Plastic Bank
Plastic neutral
We are certified plastic neutral by Plastic Bank. In general, we try to avoid the use of plastic and reduce it to an absolute minimum. What cannot be avoided, we compensate for. For every gram of plastic we put on the market, one gram of plastic is collected from nature and the oceans and recycled.
