Ethical Practices
Phystine exclusively utilises pure plant oils and extracts in its oil formulations, ensuring that all products are free from pesticides and harmful substances, with many being organically certified. Co-founded by biomedical scientist Larissa Bechter, these products undergo safety assessments and testing by external labs, including safety reports and microbiological analyses, compliant with European Union guidelines. The brand also conducts observational studies to evaluate product efficacy and skin compatibility, leveraging Bechter’s experience in clinical trial monitoring for major pharmaceutical companies. Phystine does not engage in animal testing and requires that no animal-tested ingredients be used. The brand personally verifies working conditions and prohibitions against child labour at supplier facilities, ensuring compliance through certificates such as Fair for Life and all products are manufactured in Austria.
Sustainable Practices
Sustainability is central to Phystine’s operations, focusing on health, environmental care, and societal well-being. The brand employs a Waterless Beauty approach, shipping 100% active ingredients that increase product longevity and reduce transportation volume and weight, while eliminating preservatives and synthetic ingredients. Phystine only uses organic certified or wild harvested raw materials, avoiding pesticides, mineral oils, parabens and silicones. It is the first 100% plastic-free cosmetics brand for liquid and solid products, utilising recyclable and biodegradable materials such as paper, glass, wood and stainless steel for packaging. Innovations include a plastic-free pipette and a wooden refill deodorant stick. Additionally, its shipping materials are entirely plastic-free and the brand has achieved an over 95% plastic-free upstream supply chain. Phystine's photovoltaic system generates 16,000-17,000 kWh of electricity annually, exceeding its energy needs, while only green electricity powers its operations. Carbon offsetting efforts focus on CO2 reduction, biodiversity improvement and local economic benefits. Furthermore the brand minimises waste through the use of ink tank printers.
Social Impact
Phystine's wooden products, including lids and refill deodorants, are hand-ground and oiled in socio-psychiatric workshops that support individuals with psychological diagnoses. Shipping is handled by the "Lebenshilfe Vorarlberg," an institution for the care of handicapped persons. The brand sources materials on a fair trade basis from the global south, ensuring farmers receive fair pay through certifications like Fair for Life or UEBT. Phystine donates 4% of turnover from dedicated products to projects in Namibia that directly benefit women farmers. The brand maintains personal relationships with suppliers, sourcing ingredients directly from producers and conducts visits to ensure adherence to ecological and social commitments. Additionally, they plant fruit trees for CO2 offset, providing local farmers with future income opportunities and rental payments until the trees yield fruit.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Can I have a bigger bottle please? I could not keep this beautiful essence just to eyes, I naturally felt compelled to treat my whole face and neck to this stunning combination of oils. My skin felt supported and renewed- clean beauty at its best! I’m also impressed by the focus on fair trade, charitable giving and commitment to closely knowing the the ingredients that compose their stunning products.
The Phystine Eye Essence No.4 absorbed way better than I expected for an under eye oil- my skin drank it up and my under eyes looked visibly plumped and hydrated. It’s great to see this brand is using external labs for testing and validation as well as their own efficacy studies. The plastic free packaging is noteworthy along with the sourcing of materials from companies that employee people from marginalised cohorts. The founders commitment to reducing their environmental impact both in the workplace and personally is also impressive.
