Low-chemical cosmetics from wood
Beneath its lovely exterior, Lavliér is developing a new kind of Chem-less™ cosmetic technology aimed at reducing the cosmetic industry's footprint. At the same time, the method simplifies product formulations, which in turn means less strain on people and the environment.
At the heart of the manufacturing method is the replacement of traditional cosmetic ingredients with innovative nanotechnological cellulose grades. Cellulose and its derivatives are already in use in cosmetics, but new nanotechnological cellulose grades open up the possibility of revolutionizing the cosmetic industry. The underlying research has deep roots in forest research, and now Lavliér is bringing these innovations to consumers.
You can identify products utilizing new technology by the CHEM-LESS label.
1. Wood chips
Raw material sourced from nature
Cellulose-rich plant materials, such as wood chips, can be used as a starting material in production.
2. Cellulose
Renewable and ethical raw material
Cellulose is widely available and produced industrially in large quantities.
Chem-less™
Innovative cosmetic base
Cellulose is used to produce a nanoscale hydrogel that serves as a base for cosmetic products.
Manufacturing
A simpler way to make
Cosmetic products are made by mixing the selected ingredients directly into the Chem-less™ base.
Finished products
Innovative cosmetics
Wood-based nanocellulose replaces traditional additives in the products, enabling simpler formulations.
