Less skincare products consumed - one product cleanses and moisturises the skin

In Finnish natural cosmetics company Luonkos’ skincare philosophy, natural cosmetics’ pure ingredients meet a minimalistic yet effective skincare routine and zero waste thinking. Read more how ONE oil cleansing cake has the qualities of four different skincare products, and how a natural cosmetics product that comes in a recycled cardboard package decreases the burden on the environment.

Less skincare products consumed - one product cleanses and moisturises the skin

Cleanser, toner, mask, facial creams for different areas... the list of skincare cosmetics can be overwhelming. The natural cosmetics revolution some decades ago got the cosmetics industry to pay attention on skincare products’ ingredients and production processes.

However, the use of natural cosmetics did little to reduce the amount of cosmetics consumed. If we keep using several different products, the carbon footprint and amount of waste burdening our environment is huge, regardless of the production processes. And dozens of skincare products place a hefty burden on the consumer's wallet, as well.

Luonkos oil cleansing method is based on the idea of using one natural cosmetics product for all phases of skincare - meaning, with oil cleansing there really is just ONE phase! The bar-shaped oil cleansing cake is made from100% natural ingredients, and you can use the same cake for make-up removal (even water-proof mascara), gentle facial cleansing, maintaining your skin’s pH balance, and moisturising. Using oil cleansing cake is easy - all you need is warm water and a facial sponge or facial cloth for wiping your face. 

Zero waste cosmetics minimize cosmetic waste 

In addition to minimalistic and natural skincare, Luonkos wants to change the consumer culture in cosmetics and pay attention to the burden skincare products place on the environment. Luonkos’ product philosophy is based on both reducing the use of cosmetics, minimizing the burden on the environment, and running an ecologically and ethically sustainable company. When a skincare routine consists of just one natural cosmetics product, you end up reducing both the amount of cosmetics consumed and the production’s carbon footprint - after all, there’s only one skincare product in your bathroom cupboard.

For Luonkos, zero waste thinking means not just minimizing the amount of waste generated by cosmetics, but a whole holistic lifestyle that doesn’t produce waste! Luonkos natural cosmetics products do not contain preservatives or micro-plastics, meaning the products do not place extra stress on nature when left unused or ending up in waste water.

Instead of using plastic bottles or other energy waste materials for packaging, all Luonkos oil cleansing cake packaging material is 100 % recyclable. Luonkos cakes come in easy-to-recycle cardboard packages manufactured in Finland by MM Kotkamills Boards. The packaging doubles as a storing case - wood fibre -based packaging protects the product for its entire life cycle.

Choosing a natural cosmetics product with cardboard packaging is a sustainable choice!
