The brand is pushing sustainability in beauty to new standards with petrochemicals-free and 100% biodegradable products, regional sourcing of packaging, exclusion of plastic containers, and gentle manufacturing processes with no CO2 emissions, no waste of energy or water.

Cosmydor’s exceptional efficiency comes from a unique formulation philosophy: the best active ingredients are carefully selected and concentrated to the maximum - 10 to 25 times more than most existing skincare.

That is what Cosmydor calls virtuous cosmetics: preserving our planet’s beauty whilst taking the best care of your skin.
