When Oleon first partnered with the INCITE project our aim was clear: We wanted to facilitate an industry growth strategy that would enable a climate-neutral and resource-efficient Europe by 2050.
Hair care is important not only for our appearance, but overall hygiene too. Healthy hair allows us to look our best and serves an ancillary function in keeping our hair and scalp strong, vigorous, and disease-free.
Sensitive skin is a common condition but given its subjective nature, it is often difficult to accurately pinpoint frequency in the human population.
With the delicate skin biome under constant attack, our research and development team takes particular care to develop emollients that can offset the damage caused by the environment and consumer lifestyles.
As the climate crisis hots up, one of the most lasting trends for personal care and beauty brands centres around doing more with less. This requirement is translating into the need to develop sustainable packaging in line with the new obligations described in The EU Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy, which sets out ambitious targets for the collection and recycling of plastic materials.
Finding a balance between technical performance and environmental awareness is a key driver of our research and development teams. We are proud that most of our products meet stringent market requirements while adhering to the very latest in environmental legislation.
Just as we all felt that a return to normal was imminent, the world was hit with a double whammy: the unprecedented cost of living crisis coupled to the fallout of the war in Ukraine.
Consumer skincare requirements are constantly evolving and there are numerous variables that impact new product formulation and development. The most common factors include provenance, supply chain integrity, how sustainable an ingredient is, and lastly, how to optimise product efficacy during new product development.
With our tagline of “Be honest, be yourself, be Jolee®” we manifest our belief in a future where honest transparency reflects the origin of our raw materials, our product’s performance, and the impact our business has on the environment.
A few years ago, being vegan was seen as a niche interest where people simply avoided meat or meat-derived food and clothing. Since then, we’ve seen this market grow to include all sectors of daily life and the trend is thriving on the back of strong, confident, and knowledgeable consumers. For the informed shopper, it’s all about making a lifestyle choice by adopting a rigorous code that lessens the impact of human consumption on the environment, while aiding animal health and welfare. But critically too: Going vegan influences how shoppers choose to spend their money.
Choosing sustainable packaging is important to Oleon as it can reduce the carbon footprint of the product for both customer and producer. But what does it mean “the best choice for sustainable packaging”?

As our skin comes in contact with environmental pollutants each day, it’s essential to get them gently removed to avoid clogged pores, dullness and acne. If not already part of your daily routine, we have summarized our beauty routine below as washing your face is one of the most basic and essential step to include into your daily routine. This can be done twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.
