50 DAYSPA | APRIL 2014 Straight From the Source Botanical ingredients form the basis of all Kneipp products so, not surprisingly, the company pays particular attention to the quality and origin of its plant-based raw materials, with a focus on sustainability. Kneipp uses native plants whenever possible; incorporates only biodegradable raw materials from non-animal sources; promotes the cultivation of medicinal plants in Germany; and utilizes low-energy techniques (such as cold processing) and cleaning procedures that are designed to minimize water and energy consumption. "Kneipp has a longstanding practice of sourcing goods such as packing materials and services from Germany and neighboring European countries, but due to naturally variable conditions, not all of the natural plant resources we need are available this way," notes Whitney Campbell, marketing manager for Kneipp U.S., based in Kingston, New York. "So, for example, Kneipp has cultivated its own strain of arnica, called Arvita, since 1996." Kneipp has always been an eco- innovator, rooted in nature for 120- plus years, promoting a holistic philosophy and an earth-friendly approach. "It's rewarding for our spa partners (and their clients) to work with high-quality, plant-based and eco-friendly products," adds Campbell. "This refl ects directly on spa owners' business philosophies and beliefs in the products they carry." Tracy Morin is a freelance writer and editor based in Oxford, MS.
