SUSTAINABILITY AND VALUES

A traditional production system, built around slow processes and small batches, helps preserve the quality and freshness of the cosmetics. Manufacturing processes are certified to UNE-EN ISO 22716, the international standard for Good Manufacturing Practices for cosmetic products.

ALQVIMIA works in harmony with nature, carefully sourcing the flowers and plants that are distilled into essential and vegetable oils. Through a meticulous maceration process, the oils are prepared to preserve their aromatic qualities and cosmetic properties. The brand also draws on ancestral alchemical techniques, keeping traditional wisdom alive in its formulations.

A commitment to a more sustainable future guides every decision, balancing respect for the environment with the pursuit of excellence. Certified as a Green Corporate Sustainable Company by OCA GLOBAL, the company strives to minimise its environmental impact while maintaining the high quality that defines its products.

ALQVIMIA has made significant improvements to its packaging, reducing box weight by 43% and incorporating 39% recycled cardboard. These initiatives support the circular economy, help preserve natural resources, and contribute to a more responsible and environmentally conscious model of consumption.

Unnecessary packaging is reduced, and printed brochures are replaced with QR codes to minimise paper consumption. FSC-certified recycled paper is also used, while plastic-coated materials are eliminated in favour of more sustainable packaging solutions.We reduce unnecessary packaging. We replace the brochures with QR codes. We use FSC recycled paper and we eliminate the plasticized ones.

Packaging is made from recyclable materials and, in some cases, RPET, a type of recycled and recyclable plastic. Glass containers and urea-based caps help preserve the integrity of cosmetic formulas while supporting the use of recyclable materials.Our packaging is made from recyclable materials and in some cases from RPET, recycled and recyclable plastic. The glass and urea in the caps not only perfectly preserve cosmetic formulas, but are also fully recyclable.

This initiative prevents an estimated 31.62 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year, equivalent to the CO₂ absorption of approximately 1,455 trees.

ALQVIMIA promotes self-management and autonomy through Holacracy, a non-hierarchical organisational model that places people’s happiness and well-being at the heart of the company. For over 20 years, the company has embraced a human-centred approach to business, guided by ethical principles and moral values.

ALQVIMIA prioritises local and nearby suppliers whenever possible, always in accordance with strict quality standards. When local sourcing is not an option, the company carefully selects the finest crops from around the world to ensure the quality, purity, and excellence of its chosen raw materials.We prioritize KM 0 and proximity in all our suppliers, whenever possible, under quality criteria. As a second option, we locate and select the best crops of origin throughout the world that guarantee us the best quality and excellence of the raw material we choose.
