The shower creams, advertised as “indulgent mineral clay” with rose oil and “cleansing min- eral clay” with aloe vera extract, are available in a contoured bottle holding 250ml. Two shaped, self-adhesive labels provide all information and a hinged cap seal that can be opened with one hand rounds off the design, which is based on natural colours. www.palmolive.de Bottle up to 100% from recyclate The Henkel “Pro Nature” range has long been available in bottle bodies made from 100% recyclate; now the bot- tles from other brands, such as Sidolin, Biff etc, are made from 100% recyclate and are available on the shelves. Extra adhesive labels on the bottle necks draw attention to this innovation. To simplify correct sorting, the foil sleeve labels have a perforation around the bottle and the label can easily be taken off. www.henkel-reiniger.de Cream soap from Alverde With the headline “Home is...”, the German discount phar- macy chain dm has added three cream soaps to its growing, own-brand alverde Naturkosmetic liquid soap range: organic avocado/organic oat, organic orange/organic quinoa and organic almond/organic aloe vera. The products clean the hands gently without drying them out and offer subsequent care as they contain shea butter and vegetable glycerine. The brown-coloured bottles contain 300ml of creme soap, have a colourfully printed, stuck-on paper label and are equipped with a lockable pump dispenser. www.dm.de Hand soap from Dresdner Essenz Besides the fact that the product must satisfy the strict requirements of the consumer in terms of con- tent, its acquisition and processing, natural cosmetic products must deal even more carefully with the issue of packaging. An example of this is the “Handschmeichler” hand soap sold in 280ml quantities from German natural cosmetic company Dresdner Essenz, which gently cleans and cares for hands with organic chokeberry and rice milk. The surfactants in the cer- tified, vegan natural cosmetic are 100% plant-based and contain 100% natural fragrances. Furthermore, the recyclable bottles are made from 98% recycled material and the label from at least 70% renewable resources. The soap is dispensed via a lockable, screwed-on pump dispenser. www.dresdner-essenz.com
