Less is More: natural hair cosmetics

Finding the right product for our hair can be an impossible mission since each hair is different and may have different needs. At theCosmethics we have selected Less is More , a natural and organic hair cosmetics firm whose formulations to make its products will surprise you so much that they will make you want to try absolutely all of them.

Focus on the essential, that is the philosophy of Less is More . An Austrian brand with a long history in the development of skin and hair care products. For Less is More, functionality must go hand in hand with simplicity.

Its innovative formulas are born from research carried out by Dr. Doris Brandhuber , chemist and aromatherapist, and Hannes Trummer , stylist and hairdresser.

It was after taking a closer look at the contents of conventional salon products that led them to create their own hair care range, but there's more. Doris, co-founder and participant in the development of this project, assures that she was always guided by the deep relationship between the beauty and sophistication of nature.

“ It also helped me study chemistry, where I found my specialty in biomimetics: in the study of nature, sophisticated functions and active ingredients are found that stand out for their sustainability, their effectiveness and their impressive beauty. Complex and efficient at the same time. And this is exactly where I found the inspiration to develop Less is More products ,” he justifies.

Today Doris Brandhuber is a great expert in the field of organic cosmetics, but together with Hanne Trummer they managed to make the perfect combo.

Trummer opened a hair salon in 2005 in Vienna. Their relationship with the brand is practically based on the “ Less is More ” philosophy, which is frequently used in the field of architecture and design to reduce everything possible to its essentials . Why not also transfer it to cosmetics? Hanne asked herself, finally getting a range of first-class products.

The importance of the essential

Less is More puts the essentials in the middle, combining it with people's needs and global concerns. Hence, these four characteristics that define the brand:

BIO: this brand offers sustainable organic products that are certified with the COSMOS Organic label, which guarantees their high quality in accordance with the COSMOS standard. In this way, the ingredients for its cosmetics are carefully selected for their effectiveness, purity and optimal skin compatibility and environmental impact. They are obtained from renewable resources and, whenever possible, from certified organic agriculture.

FUNCTIONAL: Doris and Hanne's combination of knowledge makes the products highly effective and guarantees optimal applicability and results. The interaction between natural sciences, aestheticians and aromatherapy expertise is essential to create a range of quality products.

SOCIAL: the company has been certified as Bcorp since 2017. And what is Bcorp? A model of companies that balance social purpose and economic benefits with the aim of generating a positive impact. Therefore, Less is More takes responsibility for current and future generations through its actions: transparent, future-oriented and socially fair.

BEAUTIFUL: At Less is More beauty is not an ideal, but an experience of the senses and the heart, so that people feel comfortable with themselves and their health.
