Foundations of Beekeeping
Koster Keunen follows the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to be a part of a better and more sustainable future for all.
At Koster Keunen our Sustainability Efforts Go Beyond Skin Deep
Our beeswax is the highest quality, not by chance, but by constant effort to maintain the highest standards. Sustainable quality requires investment in the supply chain. Koster Keunen’s approach is supported by the three pillars of our sustainability program; Social, Economic, and Environment.
Earth-Friendly Waxes and the Trend Towards Waterless Formulations
There is no question that the trend this year in cosmetics and personal care products is waterless formulations. Waterless products are more portable than dilutions, and consumers appreciate the potential for less packaging. The secret to formulating these systems is structure and stability.
Productivity, Unity, Community: Making a Living and a Good Life
The landscape of the cosmetics industry continually evolves, assembling an intriguing blend of overarching trends and intricate sub-trends, each tailored to distinct market segments.
Sustainable Beeswax
The act of bee pollination is a key factor that keeps flora and fauna in balance. Healthy trees and plants prevent climate change, desertification, and soil erosion. Sustainable beekeeping helps with preserving and supporting a biodiverse ecosystem.
Celebrating a Season of Good Tidings and a Year of Sustainable Progress
In winter, nearly every culture celebrates light in the darkness and at Koster Keunen, we look back to our founder, Johanna Keunen, who made candles from the beeswax harvested from the hives she kept.
Holiday Wishes and the Good Cheer of a Sustainable Future
From our family to yours, Koster Keunen wishes you a happy, healthy holiday season, and a New Year filled with joy and prosperity. Working together, we are making the world better, greener, and more sustainable.
We Are All One Hive, Creating A More Sustainable World
Together with our partners in The Netherlands and West Africa, we created our sustainable program “We Are All One Hive”. It is a serious commitment to a healthy ecosystem and a fair and safe supply chain focusing on three pillars as guidance.
A Renewed Focus on Color Formulations Just in Time for Spring
