Our sustainability work
Our vision is not only to offer quality skincare products, but also to be a pioneer in sustainability and conscious consumption. By transforming tallow from grazing cattle, which would otherwise go to waste, we create valuable products that benefit our skin and our planet.
By reclaiming tallow from cattle that would otherwise be thrown away, we refine it into value-added skincare products. In our production, we use limited water and all our products are water-free, which means they are long-lasting and can be used for many different skincare purposes, minimizing the number of products for the consumer.
We predominantly use Swedish grass-fed beef tallow as the main ingredient in our products. Swedish grazing animals have a very low impact on emissions globally and ruminant animals play a significant role in contributing to carbon sequestration in nature and preserving biodiversity. We strive to not only offer high-quality products but also to do so with consideration for our environmental responsibility and the well-being of nature.
We use glass and aluminum in the majority of our packaging. Currently, only our parish has plastic packaging. Our ambition is to explore and implement even more environmentally friendly packaging alternatives, which take into account the entire life cycle of the materials.
To minimize unnecessary waste, we avoid extra external packaging. All necessary product information is directly on the can or supplemented with a small information card to reduce the use of excess packaging and promote more environmentally friendly and sustainable consumption.
We comply with the Regulation on Producer Responsibility for Packaging. This applies to all companies that fill, use or manufacture packaging in Sweden and import packaging or packaged goods into Sweden. This involves a quarterly report to the authorities on which material and in what volume. Based on the report, you pay a fee. The more environmentally friendly the packaging, the lower the fees.

As a startup company, both price and quality are important factors for us, but we always strive to use as many Swedish suppliers as possible.
We buy tallow from smaller producers and small slaughterhouses who have a vision of being able to practice agriculture that gives back to society and nature. Our producers have a clear vision of sustainability and represent a small-scale operation that we believe is important to support.
We always strive for raw materials that are produced as close to us as possible to reduce the long-distance exotic raw materials transported from other continents.
As a newly started company, we are in a phase of construction and growth. To ensure responsible and sustainable development, we have chosen to use professional services. These services help us build a sustainable business model and a financial position that allows No Bond Beauty to grow and develop sustainably over time.
As a result of the Medicinal Products Regulation, we meet all the requirements placed on us as manufacturers and retailers of cosmetic products. With minimal additional packaging, we hope to simplify recycling for our customers. We are now developing our labels and information to further facilitate recycling.
In order not to mislead our customers, we try to be clear about our approach to natural skincare and our choice of ingredients. Today, there is the concept of "greenwashing" with misleading messages to encourage consumers to buy based on dubious information about the products and the companies' attitude and work for the climate and nature. This is natural skincare for us.
We want to educate and demonstrate the possibilities of using raw materials in innovative ways to ensure maximum use of the raw materials produced. By being part of the Swedish circular economy, we are an example of how to work across industry boundaries to shape a more responsible and resource-efficient reality.
Our company is born from a belief in the healing power of nutrition. We highly value healthy living. We want to encourage and create the conditions for everyone who contributes to our business to have a healthy attitude and respect their own health. We are convinced that this creates sustainable individuals and businesses.
We want to support local and Swedish suppliers by encouraging and suggesting products that we consider sustainable and desirable in their range. We believe that together we can create increased sustainability from multiple perspectives.
