OUR VALUES

Responsible Innovation.
In Rhythm with Nature.

At GEZEITEN, sustainability is not a trend but our mindset. Every decision is guided by respect for nature, scientific precision, and lasting value. We consciously move away from mass production and short-term thinking, focusing instead on responsible innovation. From the first idea to the finished product, we create skincare that lasts – for your skin and for the planet.

INSIDE THE FORMULA

Sustainable Sourced Ingredients & Marine Biotechnology

We collaborate with pioneering marine biotechnology experts on the French Atlantic coast, who apply advanced cultivation methods to grow rare algae and plankton in controlled environments - ensuring exceptional purity, potency, and the protection of marine biodiversity.

Instead of continuous harvesting, single samples are preserved in biobanks and expanded sustainably in photobioreactors, entirely free from environmental contaminants. Every ingredient undergoes 1–2 years of testing to validate both efficacy and ecological responsibility.

Our commitment is verified by leading international standards, including Union for Ethical BioTrade, ECOCERT & COSMOS, and EcoVadis.
CLEAN, VEGAN & CRUELTY-FREE BEAUTY

At GEZEITEN every formula is created to be safe, gentle, and highly compatible with the skin - without compromising on performance. Developed under the strictest German quality standards, our products are vegan, cruelty-free, microbiome-friendly, and over 95% natural origin. We go beyond the essentials: free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, mineral oils, GMOs, gluten, unnecessary fragrance, allergens, and irritants. We never test on animals and ensure that every step of our supply chain upholds the same cruelty-free commitment, because true beauty respects both people and planet.
GERMAN QUALITY & PRECISION

From ingredient sourcing to final production, every step takes place in Europe under uncompromising standards. Short supply chains, advanced biotechnology, and strict quality controls guarantee transparency and trust. Each formula is developed with scientific depth and the artistry of cosmetic innovation, ensuring maximum efficacy and safety. For us, German quality is not just a label but a promise - precision and integrity in every detail, from the first drop to the last.

CONSCIOUS PACKAGING

SIGNATURE PACKAGING »THE VESSEL«

More than packaging – a timeless design object.

Inspired by the sea’s rhythms, The Vessel echoes the way tides sculpt stone and glass into soft, organic forms. Its smooth curves and quiet strength embody both elegance and craftsmanship – designed to be treasured, not discarded.

Hand-lacquered in Germany, each piece is subtly unique, protecting our high-performance formulas while becoming part of your daily ritual. Refillable, sustainable, and crafted with precision, The Vessel redefines beauty: not in what is fleeting, but in what endures.

Winner of the iF Design Award, The Vessel is a design legacy – timeless, responsible, and created to stay with you.
CIRCULAR PACKAGING SYSTEM

Beyond The Vessel, the same principles of circularity guide all our packaging.

Up to 90% of primary materials are recyclable or reusable, while 95% of secondary packaging is FSC-certified and printed with plant-based inks. Glass and mono-materials (PET & PP) are carefully chosen to ensure recyclability, durability, and low-emission production, turning every element into a responsible choice without compromising on aesthetics or performance.
FUNCTION & REFILLING

Conceived as a true design object, The Vessel combines aesthetic elegance with intelligent function. At its core lies the refill, designed to be effortlessly replaceable and, together with the lid, to serve as a sleek travel solution. All refills are fully compatible with every Vessel – a modular system for endless mix & match.

Every element is engineered for reusability and minimal waste, creating a seamless experience that transforms conscious consumption into timeless ritual.


STEP 1
To replace the refill, unscrew the cap slightly for leverage, then gently pull off.

STEP 2
Insert the new refill into the base and slowly rotate until you feel it snaps. Then push down firmly until you hear a click.

STEP 3
Screw the cap back on properly.

TRAVEL TIP
For convenience when travelling, take only the refill with the cap and leave the base at home.

Redefining beauty with responsibility
from ingredients to design, sustainability is our signature.
