Our FAQs!

We leave no questions unanswered!

Products

Why are newkee tubes thinner than usual?

We take sustainability and environmental protection very seriously. That's why we save around 40% plastic compared to the packaging material of conventional cosmetic products and ensure that 100% recyclable raw materials are used in manufacturing. For this reason, our tubes are also a good 50% thinner and not as dimensionally stable as classic cosmetic products. But you can use newkee with a clear conscience, because both the cap and the tube are made of one and the same material. This so-called monomaterial is much easier to reuse and does not have to be separated into its individual components by a complex recycling process, as is the case with yogurt cups. In concrete terms, this means you can put the tubes directly into the yellow bin and conveniently dispose of them as plastic waste - without negatively impacting the environment.

Is newkee suitable for allergy sufferers?

Our products are exclusively vegan, fragrance-free, paraben-free, free of colorants and preservatives, and free of PEG/PPG emulsifiers.

Are your products cruelty-free?

Yes, our products have not been tested on animals. Furthermore, they are vegan. This means they are free from ingredients of animal origin. We believe that animal ingredients have no place in cosmetics.

Are all formulations microplastic-free?

Yes, we are proud to say that all our formulations are completely free of microplastics.

How long are the products good for?

Our products have a shelf life of at least 30 months when unopened. After opening, you should use them within 6 months. However, if stored without significant temperature fluctuations and contamination, they can last even longer.

Where are the products manufactured?

All newkee products are Made in Germany. Packaging takes place in Marburg.

Are the products comedogenic?

The products are non-comedogenic; they do not clog pores.

Why don't newkee hair shampoo and body wash lather as much?

newkee is not just the new key in the field of personal care. newkee also offers you a completely new showering and care experience. You can experience this most intensely with our shampoo and body wash care products. Because they are not only absolutely odorless and free of any perfume. By avoiding chemical processes and unnatural ingredients, less foam is also produced. However, this does not mean that the cleansing effect is affected. On the contrary, the skin dries out significantly less and there is no unpleasant tight skin feeling left after showering.

What is newkee doing for environmental and animal protection?

In the production of our vegan care products, we deliberately refrain from dermatological experiments on animals. Furthermore, we are one of the first manufacturers in Germany to use a tube material that is around 50% thinner and uses up to 40% less plastic compared to conventional suppliers. This makes us a pioneer in this country in terms of sustainability and climate-friendly care products.
