Our story

A 180° turn from one extreme to the other. When the idea for JUNGLÜCK arose, Benedikt Klarmann led a successful Online Print-Service, drove a big car, and counted as a frequent flyer. At home, he noticed how unhappy his mum and his wife were with their cosmetic products, as they didn’t get tired of discussing the topic. So he started thinking about what he could do to help. That’s how he started to not only change the cosmetics market but also his way of thinking and behaving.

A 180° turn from one extreme to the other. When the idea for JUNGLÜCK arose, Benedikt Klarmann led a successful Online Print-Service, drove a big car, and counted as a frequent flyer. At home, he noticed how unhappy his mum and his wife were with their cosmetic products, as they didn’t get tired of discussing the topic. So he started thinking about what he could do to help. That’s how he started to not only change the cosmetics market but also his way of thinking and behaving.

IT ALL STARTED WITH A LOT OF LEARNING.

About the cosmetics market, about the environment, and about himself. Having witnessed on his travels how we humans so carelessly overexploit nature and its resources, Benedikt became more and more aware of the importance of stopping this process.

That’s how the founding principle and the first of three pillars of JUNGLÜCK came into being: Always be as sustainable as possible. From the very beginning, we have placed the issue of sustainability on an equal level with economic efficiency. Even if, with increasing climate awareness, it was clear to us that we would still have to make many compromises.

To gain the necessary knowledge, Benedikt then sought out help from experts working in Pharma, Cosmetics, and Medicine. At the same time, he focused on finding producers and manufacturers. For his first products, the Aloe Vera Gel, Vitamin C Serum, and Hyaluron Concentrate, he paid special attention to the mild, yet effective formulation.

THE DEMAND FOR CLEAN, SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS QUICKLY INCREASED.

The first online sales trial quickly showed a very positive response. The demand for clean and sustainable skincare products was great. So great in fact that Benedikt sold his online Print Service to fully focus on the Development of JUNGLÜCK.

By the way: The Name JUNGLÜCK (literal translation: young luck) was inspired by a feeling that should express how our products make you feel: young and truly happy. The name should be German to show where our roots are.

We’ve come quite a long way! Now we’re offering more than 45 pure and natural products – from facial care, hand soap, shampoo, to our baby care line – bringing happiness to many more people than just Benedikt's Mum and wife. 

REAL ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT.

Our Founder, Benedikt, was born in 1987, became father to a son not too long ago, and took his first steps towards an entrepreneurial career when he was 14 years old. When he was 18, he founded an online print service and since 2018, he’s been leading JUNGLÜCK towards a more sustainable future.

"With JUNGLÜCK, I wanted to develop a skincare line that makes people happy. With pure and natural products and a sustainable consciousness."

THE PATH IS THE GOAL.

Founding a company that is both sustainable and fulfilling a great demand nowadays is complicated. The market is shared by few and focusing on the fundamentals in the procurement process and production whilst complying with all legal requirements is often difficult.

Especially since it is so important for us to know our suppliers, the source of our ingredients, and how they were produced. That is our main challenge, which demands compromises from time to time but also motivates us to keep pushing in this direction.

Wanting to fill our products in recycled amber glass, turned out to be a difficult standard because most cosmetics products come in plastic packaging. So, it took quite a while to find the right partner that met the standard we set for ourselves; filling all of our products in recycled amber glass. Meanwhile, we purchase our glass bottles directly from a glassworks in Italy.

WHERE WE’RE HEADED.

Our goal is and will be to create a full circle. We aim to work with transparent, responsible manufacturers, to source our natural ingredients from controlled organic cultivation, and to give local suppliers the chance to contribute to something great.

And we strive to spread a new way of thinking; rethinking. Starting with ourselves, our supply chain processes, but also with you. Because we truly believe that your daily skincare routine has an impact on a more sustainable life in general. A path we have just started to walk down, guided by an overwhelming amount of your positive feedback.
