Respect for Nature – Our Steps Towards Responsibility
We believe that creating high-quality cosmetics goes hand in hand with caring for nature. That is why we focus on transparent product development, carefully selected ingredients, our own manufacturing in the Czech Republic, and continuously seeking ways to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.
We are a 100% Czech Company with Own Production
We develop all our cosmetics in our production facility in Modletice and manufacture them in the Czech Republic. This allows us to control the entire creation process of our cosmetic products from the very beginning up to dispatch.
Thus, we can better manage quality, effectively use ingredients and continuously implement specific measures that help decrease the environmental impact of our operations.
We Use Natural Ingredients and Local Suppliers
Our formulations are primarily based on natural ingredients. Wherever possible, we prefer to cooperate with local growers and suppliers.
We draw inspiration from nature, traditional formulations and local ingredients.
Our formulations include Czech beer, wine, Carlsbad thermal spring salt, herbs and fruit characteristic of Czech gardens and meadows. Most of our products are vegan and all of them are cruelty free.
1. A Responsible Approach To Packaging
Long-term, we have been optimizing the design of our packaging and deliberately reducing the amount of materials used for packaging and distribution to the absolute minimum necessary to safely protect the quality of our products.
Recycled Plastic (rPET)
In 2018, in collaboration with ActiPack (our major supplier of selected plastic packages for our cosmetics), we launched a project to introduce recycled packaging for our cosmetic containers.
Most of our PET containers now include recycled plastic. The white bottles contain 25% recycled material, while our transparent bottles contain up to 50%.
Refill Cups
Our refill pods allow you to reuse the outer packaging.
Family Packs
Since 2026, we have been expanding our range of selected products in 400ml and 500ml family-sized pump bottles.
They are more economical for customers and, at the same time, result in lower of packaging material consumption per product.
Package-Free Sales
In selected shops, we offer packaging-free sales of bath salts and bath bombs to be filled into customers’ own containers.
We recognize that the best way to protect natural resources is to prevent waste at its source.
2. We Minimize the Impact in Logistics and Distribution
We maximize the circulation of packaging between our production facilities and stores, with some packaging being reused up to five times
We have switched to self-adhesive shipping boxes without adhesive tape
We reduce the thickness of protective stretch foils

We Give Our Products a Second Chance
The “Save Me” Programme
We do not throw away products with minor cosmetic defects that do not affect their quality or safety. We offer them to our clients in selected shops within the “Save Me” programme, preventing fully usable products from becoming waste.
3. We Save Water
Water from our production facility goes through our own wastewater treatment plant, where greywater is generated and reused for flushing toilettes.
4. We Recycle
We carefully sort and recycle all cardboard and paper packaging generated during production and logistics.
In 2025, we managed to recycle 9.6 tons of paper and 0.91 tons plastic.
5. We Digitize Paperwork
Every document we do not have to print means lower consumption of paper. Therefore, we have significantly digitized our internal and retail processes:
- We solely use electronic invoices throughout our supply chain.
- We sign both internal and external agreements paperlessly using electronic signatures.
- We implemented optional electronic receipts for members of our loyalty programme. In 2025 we issued more than 73,000 e-receipts instead of thermal paper receipts.
We don't see nature as a trend.
It is an integral part of our everyday decisions and an endless source of inspiration.
We Support the Czech Countryside
Our commitment does not end with the production of cosmetics. We support projects focused on the protection of Czech nature, landscape and biodiversity.
We collaborate with the Česká krajina (European Wildlife) and Via Foundation organizations, which help care for the countryside and preserve its natural wealth for future generations.
Long-Term Philanthropy of Tomáš Slavata
We Support Through the Via Foundation
Supporting Czech Nature Through the Česká krajina Project
Helping People: The Manufaktura Helps Project
As the Via Foundations says:
“Thanks to Manufaktura, the map of the Czech Republic is filled with places where living is a joy.”
We believe that our approach to sustainability is not built on one big decision, but hundreds of everyday steps. Each of them moves us toward more responsible production and the gradual reduction of the environmental impact of our operations.
