Our Amazing Ingredients
We use top quality organic and natural ingredients. It took many years of work to find the right ingredients, and we maintain strict quality controls in our production.
A
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
When the Aloe Vera plant is treated well and correctly, it has such a long list of powers - it has been used for millennia for both skin and hair, due to its many assets when treated correctly:
- Revives tired skin, among other things.
- Combating free radicals inhibits skin aging
- Great anti-aging effect.
- Promotes moisture production.
- Makes the skin velvety soft and more elastic.
- Healing of wounds, abrasions, burns, irritated scalp, chickenpox and for example psoriasis and insect bites.
- Painkiller, cooling and soothing, for example sunburn, insect bites, etc.
- Cleansing, healing, reduces swelling and also praised for impure skin and Acne
In addition, Aloe Vera plants contain many active ingredients such as:
- 200 active enzymes
- 75 nutrients
- 20 minerals (including calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc)
- 18 amino acids
- 10 vitamins (A, C, E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3, B6 & B12)
It is of great importance that the Aloe Vera plant is treated well/optimally, for the extraction of all the good assets. Aloe Vera plants are here in a hall, which can be temperature regulated, with a roof that can be lifted up etc., depending on the temperature, which can fluctuate a lot especially in the winter months, despite the fact that we are in one of the southernmost regions in Europe.
Leaves with even small "defects" are quickly discarded, as the "aloe vera gel", which is in the middle of the leaf, oxidizes and therefore does not release all the active ingredients that you want - the "gel" becomes clear yellowish in color if it is damaged, which clearly indicates that the "gel" no longer has the right high quality that is desired with us, where quality is very important. The "gel" must be completely clear and colorless if it is to be used with us.
When a leaf is cut, the gel must be in production, within a relatively short time frame, otherwise the “gel” will oxidize again. The gel will lose its effect and it will have a slightly old/ugly smell. Fresh and properly treated Aloe Vera gel does not smell, it will smell of a mild freshness and will feel nice on the skin without being sticky. So an odor- and stickiness-free aloe vera will be a sign of quality in many ways!
Every day, about 4 people go up and look after about 4,500 plants. The plants are pruned as needed in terms of production and condition. Some plants may need rest if, for example, they have been susceptible to temperature fluctuations, insect attacks or other things. For example, ALL plants are checked daily for snails - a snail can "quickly" gnaw a hole in a leaf.
B
ORGANIC SHEA BUTTER
Another botanical ingredient, extracted from the seeds of the African shea tree. Also known as Shea butter.
Shea butter is very moisturizing and is good at reducing redness in the skin, and contains vitamins E, D and F which are found naturally in the butter.

L
ORGANIC LAVENDER FLOWER EXTRACT

Lavender flower extract is less potent than lavender oil, and is also often used in cooking. Lavender flower extract has the same properties as lavender oil and is, among other things:
- Antiseptic & Anti-inflammatory
- Cleanses the skin gently and effectively

O
ORGANIC FIG CACTUS OIL

Prickly pear is rich in fatty acids and packed with vitamins A, C, E and K, calcium, antioxidants, betalains (natural antioxidants) and linoleic acid – just to name a few!
Prickly pear cactus provides the highest content of vitamin E compared to other oils for skin care. Even the famous argan oil is beaten by prickly pear cactus oil. The plant also has the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (88%), making it a superhero in skin care.
ORGANIC OLIVE OIL – THE OLIVE TREES
The oil has many powerful powers such as:
- Ensures that skin cells are not damaged and that more new healthy cells are produced.
- Increases skin elasticity and thus reduces the risk of stretch marks etc.
- The free radical content has an effective anti-aging effect
- Olive oil is perfect in extreme weather conditions, protecting and caring in a big way.
- Contains a large amount of vitamin E
- Contains olive antioxidants like polyphenols

Our producer has a very large and truly beautiful olive grove. All trees are organic and have been cared for and maintained as such for the last 27 years.
Just like with the Aloe Vera plantation, there is a permanent team of people who are responsible for harvesting, but also for caring for and nurturing these trees on a daily basis. All trees are pruned every spring.
There is currently a challenge in Europe regarding olive trees that die, - this is typically the oil trees that have been treated with chemicals for many years. At first glance it seems that the chemicals have destroyed the trees' own immune system, - in any case, organic trees can stand close to sick trees and thrive. The subject is currently also being addressed in the EU, as it has a heavy economic consequence for many non-organic farmers, as they thereby lose the basis of their existence. So again, - "back to the roots".... Ecology and natural products.
P
ORGANIC POMEGRANATE EXTRACT
There is almost nothing that these beautiful pomegranates are not good for - here are some examples of all the positive properties:
- The high amounts of antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and iron in pomegranates fight free radicals and thus stop damaging cells.

- The fruit stimulates the cells that form the outermost layer of the skin. The increase in the number of these cells allows your skin to repair itself better.
- Damage to the skin can lead to pigmentation problems and age spots. Pomegranates are beneficial in this regard as they protect the epidermis (outer layer of the skin),
- The molecular structure of pomegranate allows it to penetrate deep into the skin, making it effective in treating dry skin. This therefore also helps cracked and irritated skin.
- The content of punicic acid, an omega 5 fatty acid, will moisturize the skin and prevent moisture loss.

SUGAR FROM WHEAT
A natural ingredient found in the sugars from wheat. The components provide moisture to the skin and promote the growth of skin cells. The ingredient also promotes the production of the natural hyaluronic acid we have in the skin.
SUGAR ALCOHOL

Other Natural Ingredients
The way the organic raw materials are processed, from start to finish, is very crucial for us as users to get the most optimal and visible result, with the best and most possible active ingredients, such as anti-oxidants, vitamins, natural collagen, completely natural lifting effect and moisture, etc.
After a visit to our carefully selected experienced, professional and family-run producer of raw materials, I am very positively surprised that almost everything is handled by human hands and not robots/machines. This producer started production of various raw materials such as Aloe-vera plants, Olive trees, lavender bushes, rosemary, grapes, tobacco plants, citrus plants and much more over 20 years ago and has therefore gradually gained a great deal of knowledge and experience with how the individual raw materials are processed most optimally, from cutting on the plant, time factors, to stirring etc.
Temperature also has a very decisive effect during production, as even low heat will "burn off the good assets", - which is why the temperature during production is cool, and some types of packaging are omitted, e.g. tubes, as these must be welded when closing and this happens at a very high and burning temperature. Therefore, at GreenEtiq, we have chosen to package all face-care products in air-less pumps, even the hand cream, which also ensures that no air gets to the products, which also reduces the need for unhealthy preservatives in terms of shelf life, and any bacteria from the fingers are avoided.
A
EXTRACTS FROM TREES BARK & PLANT ROOTS
Is a combination of two ingredients derived from tree bark and plant roots that work really well together, providing synergy to each other, which gives an effective ability to penetrate deeper into the skin and from there smooth lines and wrinkles in the skin.
