Do you care that your hair care is gentle not only on your body but also on nature? And at the same time, you want to be sure it’s not just empty marketing slogans? Then you need to get to know the brand Zenz Organic. Its mission is to make the beauty industry more sustainable, guided by three slogans: look good, feel good, and do good. So you don’t have to choose between healthy hair and a healthy environment.
12 Steps to Sustainability
The brand has committed to contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and actively supports as many as 12 of them. This positively impacts various areas of human life. By using renewable energy sources, recycling, reducing plastic consumption, and selecting ingredients that do not pollute groundwater, it cares about the state of the environment. Moreover, it integrates innovations into its operations that continuously advance its sustainability efforts.
All this also relates to the quality working conditions of all Zenz employees. The brand stands for 100% equality, whether it concerns gender, religion, or other differences. It also places great emphasis on education—not only for its employees. It offers hairdressing training to women in Uganda, giving them a better chance to support themselves and their children.
However, for real change to happen, the effort of just one brand is not enough. That’s why Zenz partners with other like-minded organizations. Because strength lies in unity.
Better Packaging, More Effective Content
When we talk about sustainability, we cannot overlook one fundamental problem: plastics. Every hour, 900 tons of plastics are dumped into the world’s oceans, 80% of plastic waste ends up in landfills, and only 9% is recycled. The numbers are clear—the change is essential. So Zenz introduced version 2.0 products, which are more effective and have half the ecological footprint. In addition, Zenz uses recycled plastic extensively for its packaging production and collaborates with ReSea, a company that collects ocean plastics in a 1:1 ratio to the weight of Zenz packaging.
Certificates as Proof
However, ecological thinking is often accompanied by the problem of greenwashing. We all want to be sure that our purchases truly support change. Therefore, Zenz 2.0 products carry several well-known certificates that prove they meet high standards according to independent organizations. Which ones can you find on the products?
Nordic Swan Ecolabel
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official eco-label of the Nordic countries, aims to reduce the overall environmental impact of production and consumption. It considers all stages of the product life cycle and imposes strict requirements on certified products.
AllergyCertified
The AllergyCertified certification guarantees customers minimal risk of allergic reactions when using Zenz products. The entire Pure line, suitable for allergy sufferers, pregnant women, and others who want to avoid fragrances, carries this certification.
Ecocert Cosmos Organic
Products labeled with Ecocert Cosmos Organic meet the highest standards for natural and organic cosmetics and guarantee safety and efficacy.
Vegan Society
Most Zenz products are vegan, and this certification confirms that claim.
Zenz is simply proof that cosmetic products can respect both our health and the environment.
