Bewusster Konsum in der Schönheitsindustrie: Was ist Ihnen wichtig?
Bewusste Schönheit ist genau das, wonach es klingt: die achtsame Auswahl von Produkten, die die eigenen Wünsche, Bedürfnisse und vor allem die eigene Einstellung widerspiegeln. Nur allzu oft vergessen wir die Auswirkungen unserer Entscheidungen auf die Umwelt und unterstützen gedankenlos Marken und Unternehmen, denen unsere Gesundheit – geschweige denn das Wohl des gesamten Planeten – völlig egal ist.
Die Welt zu retten klingt dramatisch, aber genau das tust du, wenn du bewusst einkaufst. Möchtest du unserem Planeten etwas Gutes tun? Lies weiter, denn ich erkläre dir einige Bereiche des bewussten Konsums von Kosmetikprodukten und rüste dich für den Kampf gegen unethische Kosmetikmarken!
1.) Tierversuchsfreie Produkte
Bewusst auf die Produkte zu achten, die man verwendet, schützt nicht nur die Menschheit, sondern auch unsere tierischen Freunde! Tierversuche sind nicht nur grausam, sondern heutzutage auch völlig unnötig. Viele verantwortungsbewusste Unternehmen haben bereits vor Jahren auf effektivere Technologien umgestellt und testen ihre Produkte mithilfe von Computermodellen, Zellkulturen und In-vitro-Tests. Der einzige Vorteil von Tierversuchen ist ihre Kosteneffizienz – und das sagt viel über große Marken aus, die sich immer noch daran beteiligen.
2.) Natürliche/Vegane Produkte
Die Entscheidung für natürliche oder vegane Alternativen ist besser für Ihren Körper und die Umwelt. Vegane Produkte liefern nicht nur mehr Vitamine und Antioxidantien, sondern schonen auch Leben durch den Verzicht auf Tierversuche und tragen zum Umweltschutz bei, indem sie Plastikmüll reduzieren. Diese Produkte müssen zu mindestens 95 % aus Rohstoffen bestehen und dürfen keine tierischen Inhaltsstoffe enthalten. Daher sind vegane Produkte ohnehin eine deutlich sicherere Wahl.
3.) Nachhaltige Produkte
Nachhaltige Kosmetikprodukte sind solche, die von der Herstellung bis zur Entsorgung kaum oder gar keine Umweltbelastung verursachen. Deshalb setzen viele nachhaltige Produkte und Unternehmen auf recycelte Verpackungen und tierversuchsfreie, natürliche Inhaltsstoffe. Es ist außerdem ein lohnendes Anliegen, diesen Trend zu unterstützen, da die meisten nachhaltigen Unternehmen ihren Mitarbeitern bessere Arbeitsbedingungen und mehr Chancen bieten. Eine echte Win-win-Situation für alle!
4.) Gesundheitsbewusste Produkte
Vergisst nur ich manchmal, dass die Haut wie ein Schwamm ist? Es ist wichtig, auf die verwendeten Chemikalien und Produkte zu achten, denn die Aufnahme ist schlichtweg unvermeidlich. Wenn aggressive Chemikalien wie Formaldehyd (krebserregend) und cyclische Silikone (die sich im Körper anreichern) in unsere Poren gelangen, können sie leicht sowohl unserer Haut als auch unseren Gewässern schaden. Außerdem gibt es über 7.000 sichere Inhaltsstoffe für Kosmetika und unzählige gesundheitsbewusste Marken. Verdient die Firma, die Ihnen Formaldehyd injizieren will, wirklich Ihr hart verdientes Geld?
Es ist wichtig, nicht nur von seinen moralischen Werten zu sprechen, sondern sie auch aktiv im Alltag zu leben. Achtsamkeit im Umgang mit Konsum eröffnet uns eine Kontrolle, die wir als Konsumenten oft vergessen haben. Es ist wunderbar, die Welt, in der man lebt, nicht nur zu kennen, sondern auch aktiv zu ihr beizutragen und dabei die eigenen Werte auszudrücken. Es ist an der Zeit, sich zu fragen: „Was ist mir wichtig?“

Our Commitment - The Conscious Beauty Movement
From Vanity to Self-Care
What does it mean to take care of yourself? A lot of people consider self-care as a selfish attitude and a sign of vanity. There are still those who insist that self-care is optional and non-essential that can be easily done without because there are more important priorities and commitments.
How wrong and harmful is it for your present and above all for your future lifestyle if there is no room to give yourself time to feel good and feel beautiful?
Self-care consists in loving and being kind to yourself. This requires a deep understanding of your needs and awareness of the weight your daily actions have. Self-care includes all those activities that make us feel good. But this does not mean that whatever makes us feel good is positive: there are behaviors that are objectively harmful to the environment.
DE MOI understands the heartfelt and current issue that has led to a real revolution: disrupting the world of beauty, converting to an ecological sense, and consistently taking measures to reduce our impact on the environment.
Join our journey that starts with your well-being and the environment. There might be unattainable ideals of beauty, but we are taking a completely new approach to beauty. Beauty is moving towards a sustainable future and normalizing social impact.

A DE MOI fund has been established to help all nonprofit organizations the company collaborates with. DE MOI contributes to the large and complex sustainability ecosystem by structuring strategies that help identify the brand's strengths and criticalities toward responsible consumerism. It follows a path of development and continuous improvement drawing strength from the flywheel of credibility, seriousness and reputation inherited and cultivated over the years of its existence by understanding the mechanisms of nature and reproducing them into effective products.

Courage, risk tolerance, resilience, and handling ambiguities together with passion for developing beauty products of substance and championing important causes is what Demee Koch equipped herself within the past two decades. She used her ability to navigate ambiguities and complexities with experience and success and took risks to rule in the highly competitive beauty industry.
Demee wanted to change the beauty industry with the best intentions by educating people about how brilliance knows no bounds regarding race or gender.
Having worked in more roles, functions, companies, and industries she has always been motivated in achieving concrete results and creating a positive impact. In fact, this must come from collaborating with other people and taking on more responsibility, driven more by a sense of general benefit to the company and the community she built than to herself.
DE MOI was born out of a passion for spreading happiness and love. Demee believes in beauty inside and out. She found beauty in her hometown of Cebu in the Philippines, her meanderings around the world, to the home she found in Zurich, Switzerland. But throughout her rich experiences, outstanding women succeed even in male environments, and it shouldn’t require exceptionality.
Demee believes that women shouldn’t merely serve as ideals of perfection and beauty. They don’t have to be perfect and unachievable; rather, they should change the game by listening to others, developing their abilities, and promoting women’s beauty, leadership and empowerment.
