ORIFLAME AS A COMPANY:
“Oriflame is a company for the society, by the society and of the society”
The Swedish heritage goes back to the very first products containing
“Oriflame is a company for the society, by the society and of the society”
The Swedish heritage goes back to the very first products containing
natural birch extracts and also today many
of Oriflame’s products are
inspired by and contain ingredients from
nature. The Swedish way also
means being progressive and continuously
pursuing better solutions, utilising
science and creating innovation, as well
as being in tune with the
times in terms of fashion and trends.
With a clear ethical foundation, Oriflame
acts in an honest, transparent
and fair way in all its relationships and
interactions. This results in a
continuous pursuit of sustainability in
its business model, the planet we
live in, the people whose life Oriflame
touches and the communities that
it operates
in.
Natural:
A deep respect and love of nature is at the heart of everything we do at Oriflame. Sweden has some of the most stunning natural landscapes in the world - for over 40 years we’ve been inspired by this beauty and have incorporated nature-inspired ingredients in our products. And over the years, as we have entered new markets, we have taken inspiration from the natural and individual beauty found in these countries too. From forests and mountains to herbs and plants, nature is a distinctive hallmark of Oriflame cosmetics.

Ecobeauty was the first Global
Cross-category brand to be accredited to the highest natural, social and environmental
standards by 4 independent organisations
The level of commitment to all Ecobeauty
aspects (Natural, ethical and environmental) is so high that Ecobeauty products
obtained at the same time 4 strict eco, natural and ethical global
certifications and registrations: Ecocert, Fairtrade, Vegan, FSC; a task that
is not easy for a global cosmetic brand selling a Global Product in more than
60 countries.

“Oriflame committement towards the society”
9 What are the social activities under taken by oriflame?
We strongly believe that by supporting the most vulnerable in society – children and young women - we can help give them the opportunity to turn their dreams into reality. This firm commitment to supporting self-help is the guiding principle of our community involvement, and is also in line with our Oriflame business model.
In order to reach our full potential, we’ve gathered all our community work under one umbrella – The Oriflame Foundation. Here we work with NGOs and charity organisations that not only have extensive experience of developing and running successful education-based initiatives but also support our aims and values. These include the World Childhood Foundation and SOS Children’s Villages, two global organisations we are proud to continuously work with. Other than tese two are as follows…

Progressive:
It’s quite a Swedish characteristic to always seek to do better, be more innovative and push boundaries for the best ever results. At Oriflame we strive to innovate through science; to explore new ingredients and technologies and seek new ways to bring nature’s goodness to life in our products in a safe and ethical way. Our R&D centre in Ireland and the newly opened Skin Research Institute in Stockholm are leading the progress Oriflame makes in cosmetic science. Being progressive for us also means keeping our finger on the pulse when it comes to fashion and trends.
“ oriflame’s indulgence of research and development and scientific safety measures”
What processes does an oriflame product undergoes?
An Oriflame product’s life begins at our Skin Research Institute, where sophisticated science is used to create unique and sometimes-patented technologies that give us the leading edge on our competitors. These new technologies are then passed on to the scientists in our Product Development Centre in Dublin, Ireland, whose role it is to create a cosmetic formula that fits within an existing Oriflame brand or has the potential to begin a new one, bringing it to manufacture and enabling its sales.

SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF ORIFLAME PRODUCTS :
Fragrance:
We go beyond compliance
with legal requirements, following our own strict guidelines on the use of
certain fragrance compounds, fragrance allergens and the levels of fragrance in
our products – in particular for sensitive groups like babies and children.
Plastic microbeads:
We are removing plastic
microbeads from our formulations; since 2014, all new product developments are
using exfoliants from natural origin.
Mineral oil:
We are actively
evaluating alternatives for mineral oils and replacing them with plant-derived
alternatives.
Preservatives:
Preservatives help keep
our products safe, and everything we use complies with the most stringent
international cosmetic regulations. We are very selective and, where possible,
use significantly less than the recommended maximum.
Parabens:
Parabens are a common
kind of preservative. We only use specific parabens that are safe and fully
compliant with regulations and usually use well below the legal limits. We are
aware of our consumers’ interest in this topic and as a result offer certain
paraben-free ranges.
Triclosan:
Triclosan is antibacterial
and antifungal agent that has been inconclusively linked to environmental
damage. We phased out its use globally in 2002.
Looking
ahead, we will continue to review the safety and sustainability profile of our
ingredients in line with our sustainability commitments.
