Ringana implements its concept holistically and packs its cosmetic products and food supplements in sustainable and lightweight virgin fibre cartonboard from Metsä Board, one of the leading European manufacturers in this field. The packaging is produced and printed by the Austrian folding carton manufacturer Cardbox Packaging.

Precision, high-tech and nature
The Austrian manufacturer Ringana produces fresh, vegan natural cosmetics and natural food supplements that are particularly characterised by the use of highly efficient and antioxidant active ingredients from nature.

„We list the ingredients in many of our fresh cosmetic products wafer-thin paper banderoles on. This allows us to dispense with additional outer boxes. In most cases, this simple banderole is completely sufficient to label the Mandatory information for a cosmetic product to map,“ says Wilfinger.
The necessary packaging for the natural cosmetic products and food supplements is made from sustainable materials. Ringana uses materials made from renewable raw materials.
In addition, the company has launched the first well-functioning cosmetics Reusable solution to the market: When a customer Ten empty glass cosmetics bottles and sends them back to Ringana, they will receive a cosmetic product of their choice free of charge.
