An ethical formulation charter
Laino, effective and natural
Our priority: naturality
Being in harmony with Nature means being able to transpose into each LAINO product all the generosity, purity and effectiveness of the plants and fruits that surround us.
In order to respect your skin, LAINO is committed to developing formulae with a maximum of natural ingredients that also contain extracts and active agents from Organic farming or PDO*: ORGANIC white peach pulp, ORGANIC sesame, ORGANIC garrigue honey, etc.
LAINO is also committed to preserving the richness of the environment and forests by using only cardboard from sustainably managed forests.
Transparent and without promising more than it can deliver, LAINO wants to help in the protection of the environment.
* Product of designated origin.

The precautionary principle
Because it is also a stakeholder in change, LAINO has decided to commit to applying the precautionary principle for all its formulae. The use of raw ingredients subject to controversy, such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, coal tar, triclosan, phtalates, toluene, animal oils and musks, benzalkonium chloride or even MEA/ DEA/ TEA, either because they are suspected of being harmful to health or because they are potentially harmful to the environment, are completely excluded and banished from LAINO products.
In order for you to be able to trust each product, independent dermatological experts control each LAINO treatment.
