2021's Best New Sustainable Beauty Products Have Circularity in Mind
“While Susanne Kaufmann’s glass bottles fall into the industry’s aforementioned “counter-worthy” category, the refill system cuts carbon emissions by 69%. Designed with 75% post-consumer material, refill bags can be recycled after use.”
How to Battle Dry, Dehydrated Limbs by Skincare Extraordinaire Susanne Kaufmann
“Just like skincare for your face, the body needs layers of hydration in the winter to maintain the moisture levels in the skin. With its unique active power, my new Toning Body Serum, used as a body treatment, enhances the detox benefits of an improved dies and the skin-firming effects of regular workouts. Apply to arms, legs and other parts of the body that might need extra care and follow with a rich cream. I like to do this just before bed to hydrate, tighten and firm the skin overnight.”
Why Susanne Kaufmann's Firming Body Duo Is Worth It
“It almost sounds too good to be true, but this product pair was formulated to firm, tighten, and tone the body in just a month. They don't have to be used together for major results - the serum alone showed a noticeable 13-percent increase in firmness in a 28-day clinical study, while the cream showed 16 percent - but doubling up makes this feel like a full-on spa treatment. The secret sauce in both formulas is the brand's patented Pro Contur complex, a blend of caffeine, tiger grass, and the South American plant boldo to smooth skin, target the breakdown of fat cells, and boost skin metabolism. It also helps stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps detoxify the body and reduce puffiness. If you're looking to try just one product to start, it's all about your textural preferences: the body serum has a light, airy formula that sinks right into the skin, while the rich cream has a luxurious, emollient finish that'll cocoon the skin for hours.”
Elle 2021 Green Beauty Star Awards: Refillable
“ELLE’S Top Picks. Know for opulent skin care housed in gorgeous glass bottles, the brand Susanne Kaufmann recognized its packaging was heavy to ship, so it developed lightweight refill jugs, which can reduce carbon footprint by 69%.”
Packaging, the Beauty Industry's New Arms Race
“One way to minimise the environmental impact of shipping is to use local providers - Austrian-born Susanne Kaufmann sources most of the packaging needed for her eponymous brand from nearby suppliers in Germany, as well as earning further eco cred by using solar power for production. She has also lately started selling refills.”
This Body Oil That Doubles As Statement Decor Is The Ideal Gift For Your Chicest Friend
Yes, you could gift someone an all-inclusive ski vacation to the Alps or the Rockies, complete with hot spring spa days and sweeping views of an evergreen ocean. Or you could just give them the impossibly luxurious bath additive, inspired by the Austrian Alps themselves, and save a few thousand bucks. Steeped in wintry botanicals that do more than just smell bracingly fresh (a Nordic Spruce infusion boosts circulation for example), while the sunny yellow oil and a suspended, floating piece of pine add some woodsy elegance to any tub's edge.
14 Luxury Holiday Gift Ideas for the Fashion Lovers in Your Life
“The last 22 months have seen bedrooms become offices and living rooms morph into move theaters. So why not help a stressed-out friend transform her bathroom into an alpine spa? Formulated to dew-ify skin and unclench miserable muscles, this pine- and spruce-derived bath oil is bottled with real pine sprig, on which she can meditate as the potion modulates her mood. The soothing woodland scent lends new meaning to the term ‘forest bathing.’”
Flaky Shins, Begone: How to Remedy Dry Skin on Your Legs
While Susanne Kaufmann's clever spray is intended to stop that itchy feeling and revive tired legs (it's a godsend for flights, by the way), the fact that it boosts circulation - along with the hydration provided by sunflower and wheat germ oils - makes it the perfect finishing product for the driest of legs. Plus, it's nearly mess-free since it's a spray. No need to get lotion or oil all over your hands, and it's perfect for situations when you need a quick and reliable dose of hydration.
The Skin Crowd
“Austrian entrepreneur Susanne Kaufmann is bringing her botanical based formulations to the burgeoning market for defense against blue light with a spray that blends silk extract, butterfly brush flower and Q10.”

Let's Make-up: The New Beauty Launches to Have on Your Radar in November
“Transform your bath time into a spa-worthy experience with Susanne Kaufmann. The luxurious bath oil takes its inspiration from the founder’s home country and in particular, the Austrian Alps. It combines essential oils that have been sourced from pine and spruce needles. The former is a hydrating anti-inflammatory that works wonders for muscle tension, while Spruce Needle Oil acts as a stress relief. They are also great for the skin, leaving it soft and supple.’’
