n 1978 Faber-Castell extended its range and transferred its know-how from the field of wood-cased pencils to a new line of business: Colour Cosmetics. Today Faber-Castell Cosmetics is one of the leading private-label cosmetic manufacturers for the international beauty industry. They design and develop high-quality cosmetic pencils for face, eyes, lips, and nails, using innovative technologies; they are developed in-house and can be matched to the client companies’ wishes. Carefully selected ingredients ensure extra comfort in application and use. The cosmetics division is a globally active company, with production sites in Germany and Brazil as well as sales organizations in 14 different countries.
Countess Mary von Faber-Castell – here with her husband Count Anton Wolfgang von Faber-Castell – heads the cosmetics division as managing director, together with Stefano Castelletti.
Sustainability management and ecological responsibility have always been part of FaberCastell’s philosophy. Faber-Castell Cosmetics combines these attitudes with the demands of the dynamic cosmetics industry, developing natural cosmetics that use FSC-certified wood with biodegradable caps and bearing the internationally recognized seals of quality Ecocert, BDIH, and NaTrue. Faber-Castell Cosmetics is a pioneer in this field: under the motto It’s our Nature® it has developed Truly Natural, an all-round ecological makeup concept that was introduced in 2008. That was followed by further cosmetic and nail-care products.
