Maria Nila’s philosophy of providing the world with professional beauty in a friendly, curious and honest way was born out of the belief that animals should not be a part of human vanity.
Our vision to lead sustainable beauty mean that we develop products that have a clear purpose with carefully chosen active ingredients, color protecting formulas and without sulfates or parabens. Always 100% vegan and using CO₂ compensated packaging. This has made it easy for you to choose friendly – simply by choosing us.
IMPACT
To be able to provide the world with professional beauty in a friendly, curious and honest way, it all starts with the product. As Maria Nila provides the world with millions of beauty units each year, each smart upgrade will have a great impact on the bigger picture.
A Maria Nila products must always:

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.
