THE HISTORY OF PAUL PENDERS
Over 100 years ago Paul's great grandfather developed a formulation that has become the foundation of all Paul Penders products. Paul's mother, a beautician, incorporated this herbal formula developed by her father into the many treatments used in her beauty salons in Holland. This formulation was passed on to Paul who developed them into the range we have today.THE MAGIC OF LevensESSENTIE
Guided by this family tradition, Paul created LevensESSENTIE Gold® (meaning life's essence), a herbal extract combining 23 organic or wild herbs from around the world. Because of the wonderful healing, nurturing and nourishing properties of LevensESSENTIE it is now incorporated into every Paul Penders product - revealing the secrets of amazing skin care!The 22 certified organic herbs that Paul Penders products use are: angelica, arnica, calendula, chamomile, elderflower, ginger, ginseng root, honeysuckle, hops, horsetail, juniper, lavender, lemon balm, nettle, pegaga, peppermint, rosemary, sage, st.john’s wort, turmeric, witch hazel, yarrow.
NO ANIMAL TESTING POLICY
Paul Penders was first in no-animal testing. This policy started in Holland in 1976. The name Paul Penders has stood for no-animal tests for over 25 years. In the early days in Europe, Paul was an animal rights activist and was at the centre of a notorious fight with the Dutch FDA. He vigorously fought to ban animal tests for cosmetic products and their ingredients and in 1996, Paul's native Holland became the first country in the world to make it illegal to conduct animal tests for cosmetics.Company Statement
