Product Questions
At the core of Body & Simplicity.’s products are active ingredients derived from flowers and herbs found in Baltic meadows and forests. The unique natural environment of the Baltic region, with its brief northern summers, forces plants to concentrate their flowering power into a shorter time frame for pollination by bees. Consequently, these plants are rich in active ingredients at harvest time as they adapt to harsh climates.
Body & Simplicity. combines nature with science to develop groundbreaking products that leverage potent plant actives for tangible results.Designed to nourish both skin and senses, all our products meet Natural and Organic Certification based on international COSMOS standards by ECOCERT Greenlife.
- After adhering to the guidelines from ingredient suppliers regarding optimal usage and concentration, we initiate the formulation process. This may involve testing hundreds of samples to determine the most effective formula.
- We are committed to cruelty-free beauty, therefore we never conduct tests on animals. Instead, volunteer testers provide feedback about their skin’s response and give a subjective assessment – these factors help us refine our formulas.
- Once a product is developed, it’s tested in a lab where its physical and chemical properties are analyzed for stability, shelf life determination, as well as establishing storage standards.
- As per legal requirements, each product is evaluated by an accredited chemist for safety and consistency. Additionally, we send our products to external labs to verify that selected preservatives remain effective throughout their lifespan.For every batch produced, we examine its physical and chemical attributes ensuring consistency with the approved laboratory version.
