All L:a Bruket products are meticulously crafted in Sweden. When it comes to cosmetic products, we go beyond the simple designation of 'made in Sweden.' We adhere to a stringent formulation charte, giving preference to local sourcing in Sweden whenever possible.

Are L:a Bruket products natural and organic ?

The cosmetic products of L:a Bruket are certified COSMOS natural. The COSMOS certification is a pledge of trust to our consumers: it is proof that we offer high quality natural cosmetic products.
We also prioritize, whenever possible, the use of organic ingredients. These ingredients are easily identifiable in the ingredient lists displayed on the products and on each product page on our website. They are marked with a small asterisk, and the label 'organic ingredients' is indicated.

You will find more information about our cosmetics ingredients in our Formulation Charter.

Regarding our home products, we have not yet found a certification that meets our expectations. We prioritize the use of many natural fragrance compounds, such as essential oils, to create the scents for our home products. Our goal is to offer high-performance products that allow you to immerse yourself in the Swedish atmosphere and discover our universe. We opt for natural ingredients whenever possible and qualitatively satisfying. For example, our room diffusers contain a natural solvent and are free from alcohol.

L:a Bruket products are not specifically certified organic. However, whenever possible, we use ingredients and plant extracts of organic origin. These ingredients are marked with an asterisk in the Ingredient list.

Are L:a Bruket products safe to use during pregnancy?

We want to emphasize that our products are not specifically formulated for pregnant women. If you choose to use them during pregnancy, we recommend consulting with your doctor for personalized advice. Please note that the brand does not explicitly guarantee the safety of the product during pregnancy, and it is your personal responsibility to make informed decisions regarding product use during this time.

Are you using palm oil ?

We are pleased to inform you that we do not incorporate any pure palm oil into our products. However, small quantities or traces may be present in other ingredients we use. We are continuously working on formulations to avoid any presence of palm oil due to its controversies. We want to ensure that any small amounts that may appear in other ingredients are always RSPO certified.

Regarding the shelf life of our cosmetic products, it's important to highlight that each item has a distinct duration of effectiveness. The specific expiration date can be found on the product packaging or container.

How should I store my products?

We recommend keeping them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It's important to close the product tightly after each use to prevent exposure to air, which can affect its quality. Additionally, avoid storing cosmetics in high humidity areas like bathrooms, as moisture can impact the product's consistency and shelf life. If you have any specific concerns about a particular product, feel free to reach out, and we'll be happy to provide personalized guidance.

Do L:a Bruket product contain gluten?

While the majority of our products do not intentionnally contain gluten, it's important to note that some of our formulations may contain ingredients derived from wheat, barley, oats or rye... L:a Bruket products are exclusively formulated with natural ingredients and we cannot therefore guarantee the total absence of traces of gluten in our formulas.

We understand that gluten sensitivity is a significant concern for many individuals. Therefore, we recommend reviewing the ingredient list on each product's packaging or our website for detailed information on specific products. Ingredients derived from gluten sources, if present, will be clearly indicated.

Are L:a Bruket products vegan ?

We understand the importance of vegan-friendly options, and we are proud to share that our products do not contain any animal-derived ingredients, with the exception of our Lip Balm 017. Our Lip Balm contains beeswax, a natural material that we specifically chose for its unique cosmetic properties. It provides smoothness and melts perfectly upon contact with the lips while ensuring that the stick remains solid enough for durability. We understand that this may be information to consider for those following a strict vegan lifestyle. As we are COSMOS certified, we use beeswax produced under strictly regulated conditions (controlled by COSMOS). This means that beekeeping and the way ingredients are obtained are strictly controlled - all to ensure that no harm is done to animal welfare.
We are constantly exploring alternative formulations to offer even more vegan-friendly options in the future for all our products. Our commitment to cruelty-free and ethically sourced cosmetics is at the heart of our brand's philosophy.

Are L:a Bruket products tested on animals ?

Testing on animals for cosmetic products has been prohibited within the European Union since September 2004 and for cosmetic ingredients since March 2009. Therefore, our products are never tested on animals, as required by European regulations.

Do you carry any products with SPF?

At the moment, we do not offer any products with SPF in our product range.

Where can I find information about your ingredients?

You will find the complete list of ingredients for each L:a Bruket cosmetic product on its label as well as on the respective page of our official website. To access detailed information about the ingredients we use, you will find a dedicated section titled "Ingredients" along with product-specific information. There, you will discover comprehensive details about the key ingredients of each of our products. We strive to be transparent about our formulations, ensuring that you have the necessary information to make informed decisions.

Are your products free from paraffin and parabens?

At L:a Bruket, we are committed to transparency and honesty regarding the ingredients in our products. Our cosmetic products adhere to the COSMOS standard. They do not contain any controversial synthetic preservatives (such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, EDTA, or DMDM) or petrochemical derivatives. Therefore, mineral oils and waxes (such as paraffin, petrolatum, silicones, etc.) are systematically replaced with vegetable oils, which are equally fine and sensorials. Our formulations are also free from microplastics, phthalates, and synthetic colorants.

We strive to provide the most accurate information about our products. If you have specific concerns or would like further details about our ingredients, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be delighted to assist you.

Are your products free from sulfates?

At L:a Bruket, we do not use sulfates derived from petrochemistry, known to cause skin irritations and whose manufacturing process is highly polluting, such as SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) or SLES (sodium lauryl ether sulfate).

With our expertise in formulating natural and organic cosmetics for over 15 years, we have selected and tested the gentlest and most effective natural cleansing agents to offer safe formulas and memorable experiences for the skin and hair, all while respecting the environment.

In place of harsh sulfates derived from petrochemistry, we have chosen to use:

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA) for our Hand and Body Soaps, a natural foaming agent that is gentle on the skin, even for the most delicate skin types. It is derived from coconut oil. This gentle cleansing agent creates a rich and luxurious lather that effectively removes dirt and impurities without drying out sensitive skin.

Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS) for our Shampoos, also derived from coconut oil. It is safe, environmentally friendly, and gentle on the scalp and eyes. It does not dry out the hair while providing a rich and creamy lather.

Behentrimonium Methosulfate for our Conditioners and Hair Masks, as a natural conditioning agent that is gentle on the scalp, derived from rapeseed oil. It is non-irritating and helps soften the hair with detangling properties.

In order to meet the needs of everyone, many L:a Bruket products are formulated without sulfates: our Cosmos-certified Elder/Hinoki Hand and Body Wash, our facial cleansers, all our sea salt body and hand scrubs. Furthermore, all our leave-in products, from moisturizers to serums and treatments, are sulfate-free.

We continue to search for innovative alternatives to develop sulfate-free products, from shower care to hair care, in order to cater to all skin and scalp types. If you have any concerns, the experts in our local stores and our customer service team are always available to help you find the right product for you.
