Sustainability at HYPOGEN CARE®

Environmental protection & sustainability

Environmental protection and sustainability are key objectives of HYPOGEN CARE® production: It aims to set forward-looking innovation impulses for solutions that are sustainable in all respects and at the same time highly efficient.

This approach is taken right from the product development stage. The selection of ingredients and the creation of formulas, the design of packaging and production are optimized to meet these high standards without exception.

The main goals are a neutral carbon footprint and a reduction of the water footprint. HYPOGEN CARE® achieves these goals, which is internationally recognized. For example, all HYPOGEN products carry the "Compact by Design" and "Climate Pledge Friendly" certificates.

Sustainability with regard to ingredients and formulations

HYPOGEN CARE® products are completely free of petroleum-based raw materials. This is also an advantage for the environment, as all ecological problems associated with petroleum extraction and processing are avoided.

HYPOGEN CARE® products are also otherwise free of ecologically harmful substances such as parabens, kerosenes, silicones and microplastics. HYPOGEN CARE® is 100% organic and biodegradable.

While CO2 neutrality is now a recognized goal of economic activity, the lowest possible water consumption unfortunately is not yet. However, in view of the fact that drinking water resources will be increasingly reduced in the foreseeable future, it must be. Here, too, HYPOGEN CARE® is ahead of its time.

Low water consumption

Water ("aqua") is an essential ingredient in almost all body care and cosmetic products. This makes them easier to apply and water-soluble ingredients can be more easily absorbed by the skin. Above all, however, water is a favorable ingredient that often makes up 75 - 80 % of the total content in classic formulations. In most cases, it can be significantly reduced without sacrificing product effectiveness and performance.
HYPOGEN CARE® formulations achieve precisely this balance: the water content of HYPOGEN products is only a fraction of the water content of conventional body care or cosmetics. In HYPOGEN CARE® Washing Lotion and face cream LLS, for example, the water content is around 65 % to 75 % lower.

Less product consumption

HYPOGEN CARE® formulations are therefore considerably more concentrated than those of conventional products. Cosmetic care with HYPOGEN thus requires comparatively less product. This is easy on the HYPOGEN CARE® user's wallet. But it also reduces the user's carbon footprint (less transport, less packaging waste) and water footprint (lowest possible water consumption) - thus protecting the environment.
