Vacuum containers
All the products which need protection from air are packaged in vacuum dispensers. This is technologically the most advanced type of packaging.
- Air cannot get into the bottles, thus protecting the product from oxidization.
- The product is not touched by hand, protecting it from bacteria.
- Opaque material additionally protects the product from sunlight.
- Therefore we are able to avoid using artificial preservatives, retaining the product's unique characteristics.
Environmentally friendly paper
For all the print and packaging materials we use FSC certified Munken Lynx paper, manufactured at Arctic Paper Munkendals AB (Sweden) without causing harm to nature. The production unit is located in a protected area. The water used in the production process is reused repeatedly, thus protecting nature. Additionally, the level of air pollution from the factory is one of the lowest in the world.
