COMPANY OVERVIEW

Since our inception in 1958, we have been using sustainable farming and green practices to create natural, organic and Biodynamic® products.

We believe in providing the best skin care products possible. Our products are proudly free of parabens, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, harmful colorants and fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals.

We continue to use hand-picked fresh ingredients to create products that contain potent healing and beautifying properties. Many of these ingredients are combined with pure waters drawn from a thermal hot spring lake containing minerals and trace elements found nowhere else on earth. 

Our products are handmade without any severe heating or hydrogenating processes that can affect the nutritional content and potency of natural ingredients. Vitamins are captured in their all-natural fresh base, offering dramatic results as actual seeds, pulps and peels impart regenerative and healing powers that only nature can produce.

Eminence Organic Skin Care was certified by the non-profit B Lab® to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.

We are constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. We are proud to use wind energy and solar power energy in the making of our products and we plant a tree for every product sold.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC FARM

Explore our beautiful award-winning heritage landmark farm in Hungary and see where certified organic ingredients grow. For detailed information, please visit eminenceorganicfarm.com.

The mission of the Eminence Certified Organic Farm is to enhance your wellness naturally by growing certified organic ingredients while providing education, healing the earth and honoring our Hungarian roots.

At our certified organic farm, we harness the power of nature based on the harmony of the seasons and the alignment of the earth, the moon and the stars. We harvest plants at the peak of the season to ensure the nutrients remain in their most potent form. The vitamins and nutrients harvested in this vital state give the best possible ingredients for our skin care products.

Through our organic and Biodynamic® farming practices, we gain powerful beautifying ingredients while also healing the earth – not just for our generation, but for future generations to come.

For over 55 years, generations of estheticians in the Koronczay family handcrafted their own skin care products, made from the potent, nutritious fruits, herbs and vegetables grown in the farmlands of Hungary. These organic ingredients are now showcased in a beautiful way at the family-friendly, wheelchair-accessible Eminence Certified Organic Farm where visitors are transported to a simpler, truer way of life.

Experience traditional Hungarian architectural elements including our wood-burning lángos oven, thatch-roof chicken coop, and stunning, hand-carved wooden gates. Our certified organic farm is also a tribute to the hundreds of dedicated, hardworking Hungarians who have been instrumental in growing Eminence Organic Skin Care from our modest beginnings to the celebrated, international brand it is today.

FORESTS FOR THE FUTURE

When you buy Eminence Organic Skin Care, we plant a tree for every product sold.

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PLANTING TREES

 

Over 20 Million Trees Planted Worldwide
Through our Forests for the Future initiative, Eminence Organics plants a tree for every retail product sold, allowing us to support communities in developing countries. 

Eminence Organics is the first and only skin care company to plant over 20 million trees!

Forests Can Change The Future
Trees help restore the environment, reduce the impact of climate change and create a greener planet for future generations. We’ve planted trees in more than 22 countries around the world. In developing countries, this helps communities grow their own food and build sustainable incomes for their families. Several climate-smart agroforestry practices have been developed to improve crop yields and revitalize soil health, water use efficiency and carbon storage.

Award-Winning Recognition
In 2016, Eminence Organics received the International Spa Association’s (ISPA) Innovate Award for Philanthropic Initiatives for the Forests for the Future program. The life-changing impact of the Forests for the Future initiative is only possible because of the ongoing support from our dedicated spa partners.

THE IMPACT OF 20 MILLION TREES

Twenty million trees will sequester approximately 1,831,759 tons of CO2 over the next 20 years! Carbon sequestered, or stored, refers to carbon not emitted into the atmosphere. Less carbon in the atmosphere reduces the effect of greenhouse gases and limits the impacts of climate change.

Eminence Organics’ Forests for the Future Program helps train farmers in developing countries on how to build productive and sustainable crops and farms. We plant a tree for every product sold, enabling the development of rural communities, empowering local people to restore their environment, grow their own food and build a sustainable income and future for themselves, their families, and their communities. Eminence Organics is proud to be able to continually contribute to the development of these regions.

We also support Trees for the Future’s Forest Garden Program, a four-year training program which utilizes the Forest Garden Approach. Through this approach, farmers plant thousands of trees and grow a variety of fruits and vegetables that protect and bring nutrients back to the soil. Forest Garden farmers gain increases in income and access to food, even in the first year, all while improving the environment.

By planting specific types of fast-growing trees, fruit trees, hardwoods and food crops in a systematic manner over a four-year period, families can positively change their lives forever. Program participants plant thousands of trees that provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, products to sell, fuelwood and increased income.

This program has achieved specific milestones including:
