Kérastase is applying its spirit of innovation to improving formulas by integrating more sustainable raw materials and exploring green sciences to harness the power of nature without exhausting its resources.
From bio-based* ingredients such as centella asiatica to biotechnology** sourced actives like
hyaluronic acid and amino acid, our ambition is to combine the highest product efficacy with sustainable processes.
By 2030, Kérastase will use green science technologies in all its products.
In 2023, 63% of our ingredients are already biobased.

**A green transformation, biotechnologies are production processes which obtain high-performance ingredients of natural origin, using living tools.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO PRODUCING
SUSTAINABLY
All our sites are using 100% renewable energies

Reducing water consumption
Since 2017, our Burgos, Spain, production facility has been a “waterloop factory.” This means that 100% of the water used for production processes is recycled and reused in a closed loop. External network water is only used in the composition of products or for employees’ day-to-day needs. In 2020, the factory saved 32 million liters of water.
