CHARITY
AND GRETEL
As a certified and pollutant-free natural cosmetics brand, we believe in true beauty with the best of nature. We take responsibility for our skin and health without compromising on performance.
But issues like animal and environmental protection, and especially female empowerment, are also important to us. And even more. We actively support organizations and projects that are particularly close to our hearts. Because taking responsibility can be beautiful. Beautiful responsibility!
OUR PARTNERS:
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION & BIODIVERSITY
Sielmann's natural landscape Döberitzer Heide
The sustainable use of resources is part of the UND GRETEL vision. As Berlin's avant-garde natural cosmetics brand, the brand stands for so much more than beauty. The brand supports empowerment and environmental projects and brings together what belongs together just outside Berlin: the Döberitzer Heide Nature Landscape Biodiversity Project and the UND GRETEL mission.
The foundation's project is dedicated to the preservation of endangered animal and plant species across 3,600 hectares of natural landscape. The pristine open landscape of heathland, sandy areas, and dry grasslands is crisscrossed by 55 hiking trails, where herds of red deer and bison can be observed, as well as the rare Mongolian Przewalski horses. Through ongoing cooperation with this environmental project, UND GRETEL is committed to a better world – with on-site team activities and donations from profits. The community can also do good through purchases at special events such as the UND GRETEL Green Days.

Wir waren in der Döberitzer Heide und haben dabei nicht nur das Artenvielfalt-Projekt der Heinz Sielmann Stiftung kennen gelernt, sondern durften auch unmittelbar vor Ort unterstützen und interessante Key Facts dazu lernen.
ANIMAL WELFARE
PETA
You can get cruelty-free natural cosmetics from us every day. Since the very beginning, we've tested our products on ourselves, friends, and occasionally on celebrities, but never on animals. With your help, we've made a joint statement against animal testing. On the day we abolished all animal testing, we donated a portion of our sales to PETA to support their campaign against animal testing.
UND GRETEL keeps its word – and has therefore officially carried the PETA-Approved logo since the end of February 2024. The strict certification from the international animal welfare organization verifiably requires that neither we nor our suppliers test products or ingredients on animals. We have always worked 100% cruelty-free – and have had PETA confirm this for our new products as well.
