A Sustainable Vision Rooted in Green Development
From its founding in 1990, Origins has been driven by the vision of building a brand that always prioritizes human health and environmental concerns. As a result, Origins consistently seeks out natural ingredients that are safe for both ecosystems and consumers. It then uses these ingredients to create products with exceptional performance through cutting-edge technology. This has been a bold vision—a revolution in the pursuit of sustainable beauty that has spanned 30 years.
What Has Origins Achieved?
In addition to focusing on production ingredients, Origins partners with international environmental nonprofits like One Tree Planted to promote and support tree-planting projects around the world. As of 2023, Origins has planted more than 175,000 trees annually—480 trees per day and 20 trees per hour. The campaigns sponsored by the brand have gradually expanded to regions outside the United States.
To date, the number of trees planted by Origins has exceeded 2.3 million, spanning from across the United States to other countries such as Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, and even Asia—including Vietnam.
Saying No to Products Harmful to Health and the Environment
In line with its principles, Origins has strict requirements regarding product formulations and packaging. All Origins products are recyclable and must not contain any substances harmful to human health or the environment, specifically: parabens, MIT & PEGs, sulfates, BHA & BHT, triclosan, silicones D4, D5 & D5, gluten, drying alcohols, and talc.
Additionally, for collections distributed in luxury 5-star hotels and resorts, Origins holds the Global Recycled Standard certification—one of the world’s most prestigious certifications for recycled materials. This certification enables the brand to verify the use of recycled materials and trace their origin from the point of extraction through to the finished product.
Global Distribution
Origins has distributors across nearly the entire globe, from the U.S. and Europe to the Asia-Pacific region. But the brand doesn’t stop at retail; it has also expanded into the luxury 5-star hotel and resort market, securing an exclusive distribution agreement for the Ginger and Piece of Mind collections with Vanity Group, a subsidiary of La Bottega.
This has enabled Origins to “travel” to more countries and be featured in the bathrooms of high-end 5-star hotels and resorts worldwide. As a result, the brand not only has the opportunity to expand its customer base but also further solidifies its position in the luxury cosmetics segment.
With carefully selected natural ingredients combined with advanced scientific technology to deliver optimal results, Origins’ two amenity collections—Peace of Mind and Ginger—have quickly won over the hearts of guests, even the most discerning ones.
The Peace of Mind Collection
With the goal of providing guests with a comfortable and relaxing experience during their stay, Origins presents “Peace of Mind” with fresh yet gentle and refined fragrance notes.
This collection opens with a cool, refreshing mint note, allowing you to immediately feel a sense of coolness and refreshment from the very first moment of use. And once your mind has relaxed, eucalyptus blends with basil to create a fresh, green note intertwined with a hint of warmth and spice. All these fragrance layers balance each other perfectly, allowing you to relax while “recharging” your energy for the day ahead.
The Ginger Collection
True to its name, the Ginger Collection centers on ginger as its main note—an ingredient renowned for its distinctive warm, spicy character that awakens all your senses. In this collection, Origins uses ginger essential oil as a key ingredient in skincare.
However, to soften ginger’s distinctive scent, Origins also incorporates bergamot and grapefruit in the top notes to create a refreshing, invigorating sensation. Next comes cardamom, which adds a warm, woody undertone to the spicy, warm ginger scent. Finally, there’s a complementary blend of cool, slightly minty eucalyptus and warm, sweet clove. Although they seem to be opposites, eucalyptus and clove are actually the pair that gives the Ginger collection its depth.
Origins and the Media
In addition to appearing in renowned publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, and Vogue, Origins also impresses its customers with carefully curated social media accounts—from the layout of images to the consistent campaign themes. When you visit Origins’ social media accounts, you’ll experience the refreshing green hues of nature and the spirit of environmental protection and human health that the brand aims to convey.
It can be said that, from its very inception, Origins has chosen a path of sustainable development with the goal of protecting consumer health while making a positive impact on the environment. For this reason, this luxury brand has left a special impression on customers, partners, and high-end hotels and resorts seeking to embrace the green movement.
