VERBÖDEN Beautyfood is a New York City based woman-owned and operated beauty and wellness experiential company that empowers people to take charge of their own well-being. VERBÖDEN takes a holistic approach to hyper-customized solutions for each customer that not only promotes beautifully clear skin but also helps with energy during the day, deep restful sleep at night and mental well-being. VERBÖDEN uses verified standards of manufacturing pharmaceutical-grade products, while promoting social and environmental good. At VERBÖDEN, we value: Authenticity: We say it like we see it and we see a lot of bullshit in the beauty and cosmetics space. Labels that claim to contain an ingredient that actually contain 0% or brands that claim to be natural but contain known toxins that are banned in the EU but allowed in the U.S. This may mean that we will not be carried by certain mass retailers but we're good with that. Instead we choose to partner with carefully vetted retailers that have heart. Trustworthiness: We prioritize consumer education based on scientific studies, expert analyses, and consumer reviews and testimonials that is unbiased so you can make an informed decision about what is best for your own body. Transparency: You have a right to know where the ingredients are sourced, how it is processed and who are developing and making your products. Philanthropy: We know that we can only thrive if the community we live in thrives too. We are focused on supporting programs that teach important health-based decision-making skills in nutrition, wellness and meditation to young mothers and underprivileged kids. Sustainability: Preserving the natural beauty of our environment and its resources is a high priority for us. This is why we only use the highest quality plant-based ingredients and our packaging is made from German ultraviolet glass that not only protect its contents from degradation but may also be reused. Where plastics are necessary, we plan to develop and use hemp bioplastics that are biodegradable.
