As a matter of principle, Manik products do not contain parabens, alcohols, mineral oils, synthetic substances or genetically modified ingredients. We believe in the healing power of nature and use only natural ingredients in our formulas.

We have decided not to use palm oil but only vegetable oils such as argan oil, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil. Palm oil may be cheaper, but the increasing number of oil palm plantations destroys rainforests and causes considerable ecological and social problems in the producing countries. In addition to that, the palm oil refining process produces pollutants.

It’s simple: Organic oils are of a higher quality than those from conventional cultivation. Organic farming protects the land and groundwater, promotes biodiversity, and preserves habitats of numerous species. It protects ecosystems, respects the natural crop cycles, and supports ecological balance. It is, of course, not cheaper, but for us, it was clear that we want to work only with the best ingredients.

That was one of our most challenging development issues. We had to do a lot of research: Glass is very energy-intensive to manufacture and recycle, plus it’s very fragile. Aluminum provides good product protection and is inexpensive, but the production and recycling of aluminum also require a lot of energy. Its production also generates waste materials that are harmful to the environment. None of the standard packaging materials were perfect or a good product fit. After much research, we finally found a start-up in Scandinavia that produces a novel, 100% sustainable material. It’s made of wood and plant-based adhesive and is precisely what we were looking for.

All MANIK products are 100% vegan.

People who value herbal ingredients, organic quality and care about sustainability will get our thinking: We wanted to develop the best possible tattoo aftercare product – for both people and nature.

In principle, any cosmetic product can trigger intolerances. With their intense scent and good healing properties for the skin, even essential oils may contain allergens. If you have are allergic to Coumarin, Limonene, Geraniol, or Linalool, please use a 100% odorless product.

Conventional cosmetic products often use chemical agents that replace the skin’s own substances and functions. As a result of their use, the skin stops doing its job – slowing down its functionality. Also, despite many safety regulations, conventional cosmetic products may contain ingredients harmful to your health, some of which are even suspected of being potentially carcinogenic. Natural cosmetics, however, rely on the powers of plants to support and stimulate the skin’s own processes over the long term. In addition to direct health aspects, the environmental impact should be part of the equation. Among other effects, plastic particles from conventional cosmetic products can end up in wastewater and contribute to far-reaching environmental pollution.
