In general, our products have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture and 6 months from the date of opening. You will find the expiry date for each product printed on the product.

We also recommend storing the products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

All vielö products are certified by the Austria Bio Guarantee for Austrian organic cosmetics, which is the strictest standard for the production of genuine organic cosmetics in Europe. Austria is one of the only countries within the EU that has legal standard for the production of natural and organic cosmetics. In contrast to private quality seals where big corporations unite under one roof in order to set their own (minor) quality standards, the legal standards for organic cosmetics are much stricter. It also means more transparency for consumer because an independent body ensures compliance with a legally determined quality standard.

All our seals are displayed online on our product page and also on the packaging of all products.

At vielö we produce all our skincare products in Austria. That means we are not only "designed in Austria" instead "designed, developed AND made in Austria".

Never. We never carry out any animal testings. This means that we do not test products on animals, nor do we source ingredients from companies that carry out animal testing.

No. Whey is a valuable and skin-friendly by-product of cheese production, so our products are not vegan.

We are convinced of the advantages of essential oils, not only in aromatherapy, but also with regard to the skin, if used in low and well-dosed quantities.

We are aware that a high concentration of essential oils can irritate especially sensitive skin. This is why we only use low concentrations of essential oils in our products. Neverthelesse irritation or allergic reactions can never be ruled out entirely.

The simple answer is yes, because they have been specially developed also to meet the needs of people with dry and sensitive skin. Nevertheless, each person's skin is unique, so no general statement can be made and intolerances can occur.

However, we always avoid chemicals, irritants or all controversial ingredients, you can find out more about our quality promise here:Quality GuaranteeWe carefully test all our products before they end up on the shelves because all our products are developed in a collaborative approach. However, since each person’s skin is unique, we can never be 100% sure how the skin will react to a certain ingredient and product. Therefore, we always recommend a patch test in case of uncertainty, by applying a small amount of the product to the inside of the wrist and observe the skin's reaction.

Dandruff is often triggered by dry scalp. Therefore all haircare products have been develop to suit people with dry and sensitive scalp too. Judging from the feedback we receive from our customers, it is quite often the nourished and healthy feeling of the scalp that is highlighted as a particularly positive effect after using our hair products.

We are often confronted with this question because people who suffer from lactose intolerance suspect that skincare products must be absolutely lactose-free. But that’s not entirely true. Lactose intolerance means that the body cannot process the lactose ingested through food. Cosmetics containing small amounts of milk proteins may therefore be used, as they do not come into "contact" with the digestive system. However, we would like to emphasise that this applies to external use only.

We source our organic whey from a traditional Austrian dairy which, like us, also stands for organic quality and is certified organic (by the Austria Bio Garantie).

Our products are not based on whey powder instead on liquid organic whey. This fact and our gentle production - without using high temperatures - guarantee an high content of valuable whey ingredients. Vitamins, lactose, lactic acid, minerals, proteins or enzymes, some of which are rather temperature-sensitive, are preserved in this way. That is why whey is always at the top of the list of ingredients. It is therefore possible that - similar to fresh pressed orange juice - separation occurs in the products over a longer period of time. This does not mean any lack of quality, it is rather a sign of natural manufacturing and demonstrates the high whey content. Simply shake well before use, it's natural :).

All our packaging is recyclable. We also work with local packaging suppliers as close as possible to our headquarters to keep our ecological footprint as low as possible. By doing so we also reduce fuel consumption as well as CO2 emissions.

Cartons
All our cartons are fully recyclable.

Packaging filling material
We use paper as filling material to prevent products being damaged during transport.

Our bottles are made of HDPE, which stands for high density polyethylene. HDPE is an easily recyclable plastic. It can be melted down to be reused for the production of plastic products and by offering sustainable refills for all our body, hand and hair care products, we always support a long reuse of our bottles.
