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 use around 40% less plastic than the packaging of conventional personal care products and ensure that we use 100% recyclable raw materials in production. As a result, our tubes are also a good 50% thinner and not as rigid as those of classic personal care products. In return, 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 first have to be separated into its individual components through a complex recycling process, as is the case with yogurt cups, for example. In concrete terms: You can put the tubes directly in the yellow bin and conveniently dispose of them as plastic waste - without negatively affecting the environment.

Is newkee suitable for allergy sufferers?

All our products are vegan, fragrance-free, free from parabens, colorants and preservatives, and free from PEG/PPG emulsifiers.

Are the products cruelty-free?

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

Are all formulations free of microplastics?

Yes, we are proud that we completely avoid microplastics in all our formulations.

How long do the products last?

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 major temperature fluctuations or contamination, they may well last longer.

Where are the products manufactured?

All newkee products are made in Germany. The 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 foam as much?

newkee is not only the new key in 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 products. They are not only completely odorless and contain no perfume whatsoever. By avoiding chemical processes and unnatural ingredients, they also produce less foam. However, this does not mean that their cleansing effect is compromised. Rather, the skin dries out much less, and no unpleasant feeling of tightness remains after showering.

What is newkee doing in terms of environmental and animal protection?

In producing our vegan skincare products, we consciously avoid dermatological experiments on animals. We are also one of the first manufacturers in Germany to use tube material that is around 50% thinner, using up to 40% less plastic than conventional suppliers. This makes us a pioneer in Germany when it comes to sustainability and climate-friendly skincare products.
