For the health of people and the planet.

Our truly eco-friendly packaging system has been designed to minimize the use of all materials . The ones we use are of plant origin, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of their production and transportation .

  • Compostable jar

    The jar, along with the label, is biodegradable and compostable (not every biodegradable material is compostable. Read more ).

    It is made of a plant-based polymer obtained from starch and the fermentation of sugar cane . The raw material is not only fully natural, but also infinitely renewable.

    The label is "woodless" paper , made of 95% sugar cane fibers and 5% hemp and flax .

    It contains a UV filter that blocks UV rays , which may negatively affect some active substances.

    Its production takes place in ISO6 conditions, the most demanding European standards for the production of direct packaging .

  • Compostable envelope

    The envelope is also biodegradable and compostable . It is made of polymers of plant origin and corn starch .

    As part of our cooperation with the company that produces it, we not only avoid plastic, but also part of our revenue supports the Seabin Project initiative, whose mission is garbage-free oceans . Only today, thanks to us, 228 kg of plastic has been removed from the ocean.

    Together we also support Trace initiatives that recover CO2 from the atmosphere .

    The jar and envelope are the only packaging. We do not produce unnecessary packaging and do not use additional fillers .

    The shipping label attached to the envelope is made of wood-free paper - including glue, biodegradable and compostable.

Sick health care industry.

If the company's mission is to take care of our health, taking care of the planet cannot go hand in hand.

Do you know that...

  • The production of compostable packaging has the lowest carbon footprint (1.2)

    It uses less resources and energy than the production of packaging made of plastic, glass or aluminum. Eliminates the need for recycling.

  • Glass packaging has the highest carbon footprint
    They are inefficient in production, use a lot of raw materials and energy, and are heavier and more delicate to transport. (2)
  • We are using up sand (for glass production) faster than the planet is replenishing it
    Its consumption leads to land erosion and more and more frequent floods. We use it even more than oil today. (3)
  • Estimates show that only 21% of glass is recycled globally (4)
    So it only works great in theory. The process itself is almost as harmful to the environment as the production of new glass.
  • Glass takes over 1,000,000 years to fully decompose
    Unlike plastic, it is not toxic to the planet when it decomposes. But do we have so much space and so much time on Earth?
  • Only 9% of the plastic produced was recycled
    In the last 15 years, in which we have become more aware, companies have produced more than half of the world's plastic. (2.5)
  • Plastic is a poison for the environment, it takes over 500 years to decompose
    As it decomposes, it becomes a micro-plastic that is already everywhere, even in the most intimate parts of our bodies. (6)
  • The production of plant biopolymers is very efficient
    It occupies 0.01% of the world's agricultural land, does not compete with the cultivation of plants for food purposes, and helps develop rural areas. (7)
  • Growing plants absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere and counteracts global warming
    Sugar cane absorbs 11 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it needs for its cultivation. (8)
  • Animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions
    Compared to growing crops, it also uses much more resources such as land, water and feed. (9)
  • Algae (the source of our Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D) produce 50% of the world's oxygen
    Compared to other crops, they require a minimal amount of resources. They also grow more abundantly. (10)
  • 1gr of algae has the same nutritional value as 1kg of vegetables and fruit
    Algae are the oldest and probably the most important plant. NASA included them on the list of dishes that astronauts eat in space. (11,12)

If all the above facts are common knowledge, why do so many companies in various industries still reject them?

At nikalab, we are convinced that there is a different path than the one chosen by producers of dietary supplements (yes, the "premium" ones too), focused on minimizing the costs of what is inside, while at the same time pumping money into marketing and an excess of beautiful, although non-ecological packaging .
