The CULUMNATURA brand was launched

Willi Luger launched the CULUMNATURA brand.

corpus SKIN AND HAIR WASH based on sugar surfactants and nourishing wheat proteins is the first product that was launched.

The vision of developing NATURAL cosmetics based on our own high quality standards became a reality. The first series of seminars was developed at this same time based on the large pool of knowledge of natural and sustainable skin and hair care. The CULUMNATURA skin and hair practitioner training was being developed further.

How it all began...

In the 1990s, Willi Luger, the owner of two hairdressing salons, set out on a path towards consistent NATURAL cosmetics in the salon.

Having had close ties with the hairdressing profession through his father since childhood, he decided to make a U-turn after 25 years as a hairdresser. His understanding of ecology and sustainability, plant-based and alternative medicine and the associated findings regarding the implications of chemical ingredients in cosmetic products shook him up and encouraged him to turn his attention to transparent and honest NATURAL cosmetics.
