Product philosophy
Product philosophy
Established in 1999, Maria Nila proudly presents a full range of 100% vegan professional haircare, styling and colour - produced in our own factory in Sweden and shipped to all corners of the world. Our products are developed out of passion for colour and in solidarity with our wildlife, nature and communities in mind. By providing high-quality colour protecting products, produced in Sweden, to professionals and consumers globally, we make it easier for everyone to take a step towards a friendlier world.
To secure the highest product quality possible, we make sure to control the whole product process inhouse. From our chemists formulating the ingredients, to the Brand Studio designing the packaging and the production team filling the tubes (and everything in between), all the final product magic happens at the very heart of our business, in our own production plant at the south of Sweden.

recycling and PCR symbols - Removed excessive outer
packaging and launched the new Booster Masque products without outer packaging

Multifunctional displays

Product certifications
The largest animal rights organization in the world. Our PETA certification indicates that they oversee and ensure that we do not test our products on animals and that our ingredients are vegan.
Leaping Bunny lists brands that are guaranteed not to do animal testing on any stage of product development. They are jointly developed by animal welfare and rights organizations in Europe and North America.
Vegan Society is the largest and oldest vegan organization in the world. Founded by Donald Watson, who coined the word “vegan”, their certification assures you that all our ingredients are 100% vegan.
We climate compensate with ZeroMission and Plan Vivo, within emission reduction that creates social and environmental benefits in poor rural communities.
Since 2016, we have contributed to the planting of over 280 000 m² of forest in Nicaragua.
