Our product lifecycle
The idea
Every new product begins with an idea, a wish or a brainchild – along with the purpose for creating the product at all. This might be face care, restful sleep, a salubrious indoor climate, more vitality and wellbeing or quite simply the lust for life.
The active ingredients
Our products are made exclusively from natural raw materials that connect with our bodies to produce beneficial effects. These include extracts and essences of fresh Alpine herbs, valuable essential oils, mountain bee honey and other good things from the beehive, natural fats, pure spring water, aromatic Swiss pine and other ingredients that the mountain folks have relied on all their lives.
The product
Whether it’s cream, lotion, serum, bath salts, solid soap, décor, room air or feel-good articles – the new product is given its look or physical state once the active ingredients are selected. The most important factors in the production process are traditional crafts skills for the essentials and an abundance of highly concentrated bioactive substances.
Samples & tests
Vor der Markteinführung eines Produkts werden Muster gefertigt und diese sorgfältigst geprüft und unabhängig kontrolliert. Produkte im Kaufhaus der Berge werden regelmäßig ausgiebigen Qualitätstests unterzogen.
Smart, sustainable packaging
All products at Kaufhaus der Berge are filled and packaged locally. We use bottles and jars made of recyclable glass or recyclable HDPE (high-density polyethylene). Refillable dispensers, handmade hangtags and general avoidance of plastic and over-packaging define and round off the look of our products. In shipping as well, Kaufhaus der Berge relies on natural paper, cardboard and filler material made from shredded packaging material.
“We are proud of our cardboard packaging, which we obtain from a company on Lake Tegernsee that has won numerous sustainability awards.”
