Why are not all i+m products Fair Trade certified?
Our cosmetic products meet all the conditions for fair trade certification, because i+m is one of the beauty brands with the highest proportion of fair traded raw materials. To achieve this, we work with 12 fair trade projects that promote the local economy, equal rights for women, fair wages and much more.
Certificates like the well-known Fairtrade® seal of the NGO TransFair would cost 3% of our turnover. Since we want to continue to offer high-quality natural cosmetics at affordable prices, we have therefore refrained from extensive fair trade certifications – with only few exceptions for our lip care. However, we are currently in the process of initiating further steps. As soon as we have news, we will let you know.
