OUR ETHOS

Our Commitment to Safe and Sustainable Skincare

At Linda Johansen Skincare, we believe in creating high-quality, effective products that prioritize safety—for your skin, your body, and our planet. From ingredient selection to packaging design, we are committed to making choices that are both ethical and sustainable. 

A Legacy of Environmental and Ethical Choices

From the very beginning, Linda has been dedicated to environmentally friendly, cruelty-free, and body-safe ingredients.

Back in 2004, she asked her first laboratory to formulate her products without parabens—long before it became a standard industry concern. Despite initial resistance from the lab, Linda’s insistence set the foundation for our ongoing commitment to safety and innovation.

Working with the Best in the Industry

To deliver the safest and most effective products, we collaborate exclusively with one of Europe’s leading laboratories in Germany. Known for their precision and adherence to regulations, this team stays ahead of the curve, not only complying with current rules but also anticipating future guidelines based on evolving research.

All of our formulas are evaluated annually to ensure they remain free of ingredients that may no longer meet the highest safety standards. In 2023, we updated all products containing sun filters after new research flagged a filter previously considered safe. These updates reflect our dedication to providing you with the best and safest options available.

Constant Innovation for Safer Skincare


Why We Trust Big Experts

Monitoring the safety and impact of thousands of ingredients is a complex and resource-intensive task. That’s why we rely on a trusted laboratory with dedicated teams to ensure that every product we create is safe for people, the planet, marine life, and animals.

100% Cruelty-Free
Linda Johansen Skincare has always been, and will always remain, 100% cruelty-free. We never test our products or ingredients on animals, and neither do our suppliers or sub-suppliers. Additionally, we do not sell our products in countries where animal testing is required by law.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our packaging. Over the years, we have made significant changes to minimize waste and prioritize recyclable materials:

  • Whenever possible, we source components and packaging locally to reduce our carbon footprint and remain proud members of Grønt Punkt Norge, taking responsibility for the collection and recycling of packaging materials.
  • Transitioning from plastic to glass where possible for easier recycling.
  • Phasing out plastic wrap on boxes.
  • Using airless jars to preserve product quality and reduce the need for preservatives.
  • Shipping orders in recycled cardboard boxes, with recycled tissue paper, and supporting the ECO-Packaging Alliance for reforestation efforts.

Ocean-Friendly Sun Protection

Protecting your skin shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment. That’s why all of our UV filters are chosen with the planet in mind:

  • Coral Reef and Ocean Safe: Our sun filters comply with the Hawaiian Reef Law, ensuring they do not harm marine ecosystems.
  • No Nano-Plastics: We avoid ingredients that release microplastics, safeguarding aquatic life and our oceans.
  • Non-Nano Sunscreens: Our formulas exclude nano-sized particles that could penetrate your skin and enter your bloodstream.
  • Cutting-Edge Sun Filters: We use only the most modern and advanced filters, ensuring maximum protection for your skin while meeting the highest safety and environmental standards.
