Vegan Formulations: NILO’s Green Advantage
The continuous growth of the global population over recent decades has led to a rapid expansion of both the agricultural and livestock sectors. Intensive animal farming and management are among the most significant factors contributing to climate change, deforestation, excessive water consumption, and land and water pollution. It is estimated that about 14.5% of total global greenhouse gas emissions originate from livestock production.
NILO’s philosophy is founded on eco-design as the only viable path toward a sustainable future and is expressed through its commitment to developing vegan product formulations that are friendly to people, animals, and the environment. NILO’s vegan formulas are the result of continuous research and innovation, aiming to create products that respect nature without compromising on effectiveness. Free from animal-derived ingredients and animal testing, these products ensure gentle, safe, and biodegradable performance while significantly reducing the environmental footprint of production. At the same time, the use of plant-based raw materials promotes responsible consumption, lowers energy and water usage, and supports green innovation in the cosmetics and detergents industries. In this way, NILO demonstrates its tangible commitment to a more ethical, cleaner, and sustainable future.
Vegan products, both in cosmetics and cleaning care, offer a range of environmental and social advantages. They substantially reduce the environmental footprint, as the production of plant-based ingredients requires far less energy, water, and land than animal-based ones. Moreover, vegan formulas are non-toxic and mild, free from harsh chemical compounds, ensuring high biodegradability and greater safety for both skin and aquatic ecosystems. They also represent an ethical and sustainable choice, excluding ingredients such as beeswax, lanolin, or collagen, and promoting respect for life and biodiversity. At the same time, vegan formulations drive innovation, relying on advanced plant-based technologies that highlight the potential of green chemistry. Finally, they are completely cruelty-free, involving no animal testing at any stage of production, making them a responsible and conscientious choice for both consumers and the environment.
Through these initiatives, NILO actively contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
- Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Responsible Consumption and Production
- Climate Action
- Life Below Water
- Life on Land
- Partnerships for the Goals
