Bye Bye 2021 – Our annual review
by Lena Severin
One thing is clear: the last year was quite turbulent and at least it felt a lot shorter than 12 months. And yet a lot has happened. We would like to take a quick look back at 2021 with you, to see what we were able to achieve with your help, what we were able to do for you and for our environment.
FEBRUARY: Launch time
The BHA peeling is the second fruit acid peeling to arrive in our shop and will quickly become your favorite.
MARCH: Fundraising kick-off
Our “Being you suits you” campaign for International Women’s Day enables a donation of €19,320 to Frauenhilfe München gGmbH. At the same time, the groundbreaking ceremony in Malawi marks the realization of our school building project.
MAY: News in May & JUNGLÜCK birthday
At the beginning of May we were able to welcome two new products to our shop: squalane and rosehip seed oil. And for JUNGLÜCK's birthday, thanks to your help and a donation of €39,113 via Herzenswünsche eV, we fulfilled many wishes. Our team is bigger than ever: 49 employees are working together to make a difference.
JUNE: World Oceans Day & German Brand Award
With the WDC, we are sponsoring porpoises in the North and Baltic Seas for World Oceans Day. We were awarded gold in the “Excellent Brands – Beauty & Care” category at the German Brand Awards.
JULY: Strengthening people and the planet
Our niacinamide serum complements our product family. With the Plastic Free Challenge, our team tried to do without plastic for a month. We collected school supplies for our school in Malawi. And with your help, at the end of the month we were able to donate €10,771.79 to the victims of the flood disaster via Aktion Deutschland hilft.
AUGUST: More sustainability & more space
We are moving into our second office in Oberhaching and inaugurating our new laboratory. (Almost) the entire team is coming together in Munich for the summer party - many are seeing each other in person for the first time. Our shipping boxes are getting a makeover: 100% plastic-free and climate-neutral. The topping-out ceremony in Malawi is taking place right on time at the end of the month, including our own well for unrestricted access to water.
SEPTEMBER: PETA-Approved and committed to the climate
We are delighted to receive the “PETA Approved Vegan Global Animal Test Policy” certification. For Clean Up Week, we cleaned up the neighborhood around our office in Obersendling. And of course, we were there again for the global climate strike. Our Advent calendar is going on pre-sale and is getting great feedback straight away!
OCTOBER: We go live!
More personal advice, information and tips: Our first live shopping event with product specialist Michael is not only fun for us, but probably for you too.
NOVEMBER: Our lucky month
Our new cleansing gel, pimple paste and two face masks are here - what luck for your skin! And with our lucky week we can donate €3,061 to Doctors Against Animal Testing, collect garbage from the Baltic Sea for a week with One Earth - One Ocean, supply 64 LGBTQIA+ people with basic food for a week, and build a solar system for our school in Malawi.
DECEMBER: Time to relax & say thank you
For 2021, we would like to say THANK YOU for being able to achieve so much with you: 1,294,337 trees were financed through Eden Reforestation Projects and a total of € 228,957.17 in donations were used to do a lot of good (as of December 14). Be surprised by what we will do in 2022!
That's it! Our year 2021 summarized again in a very compact way. We are already very excited to see what next year will bring. But one thing is certain: We have a lot planned, our fingers are itching and we are really looking forward to rolling up our sleeves again in 2022 for you and our environment!
