Last Weekend I went to visit the Susanne Kaufmann production. Let me tell you it was quite a a revelation.
The products are made by a farmer family in the Bregenzerwald.
Ingo Metzler is an innovative farmer, fed up throwing all the whey (a side product in cheese production) away.
Whey contains lots of vitamins and minerals, so he got together with a chemist and started experimenting with health and cosmetic products.
Today next to the cheese production they produce their own cosmetics line and the Susanne Kaufmann line.
Since the Susanne Kaufmann products are based on alpine herbs, which you can hardly get without preservatives, they now also have their own herb garden in front of the house.

The whole product is made in this "factory" in Egg from the cows milk to the labeling of the products.
If you are looking for something pure, 100% natural and really controlled try the fantastic Susanne Kaufmann line.
