For conscious consumption

Nölken skincare products: From idea to market-ready product

Fulfilling the wishes and requirements of our customers inspires us every single day. You sketch an idea – we turn it into a market-ready product.

We undertake complete development or modify existing formulations – from the initial laboratory approach to documented authority applications. A full service that our customers from the drugstore chains and private label sectors highly value.

When developing our hygiene and care products, we seize the opportunities and possibilities offered by new and established raw materials. Whenever possible, we use raw materials that are environmentally and socially responsible. Through our FONAP membership, we have committed to using 100 % certified palm (kernel) oil derivatives. During the reporting period from August 2024 to July 2025, 99.9 % of the palm (kernel) oil derivatives used were certified according to the RSPO Mass Balance Model certified and corresponded to the Principles and Criteria.

Thus, we develop our care products such as creams, lotions, or shower gels according to specifications from different labels, such as the Swan Ecolabel, the Ecocert for natural and organic cosmetics or the requirements of German Allergy and Asthma Association (DAAB).
