The Founder

The Woman Behind the Brand: Annemarie Lindner

Annemarie Börlind is more than a brand name — it belongs to a true pioneer. Annemarie Lindner founded the Börlind GmbH in 1959, together with her husband Walter Lindner and Hermann Börner, in the Swabian town of Calw on the edge of the Black Forest. Her guiding principle was as simple as it was radical: what she could not eat, she would not put on her skin.

What sounds obvious today — no animal extracts, no mineral oil derivatives, no silicones, no microplastics — was a revolution in the 1950s. Annemarie Börlind was among the very first cosmetics brands to consistently avoid synthetic ingredients while still delivering measurable, proven efficacy.

“What I cannot eat, I will not put on my skin.”— Annemarie Lindner, Founder of ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND, 1959


Origin & Quality

From the Black Forest — For the World

Every Annemarie Börlind product is developed and manufactured at the company’s original site in Calw, in the Black Forest — the very same location since 1959. One unique advantage of this production site is access to the brand’s own deep spring water, which forms the base of all formulations.

All products are at minimum vegetarian, most are vegan, cruelty-free, PETA-certified and NATRUE-certified — one of the world’s most stringent natural cosmetics certifications. Free from microplastics, silicones and mineral oil derivatives. Raw materials are sourced from certified organic farming and fair global partnerships.

01
NATRUE Certified

One of the world’s most rigorous natural cosmetics certifications — transparent control from raw material to finished product.

02
Deep Spring Water

The brand’s own spring water drawn from deep beneath the Black Forest — used as the formulation base in every product. Unique in natural cosmetics.

03
Sustainability

Ongoing commitment to reducing the carbon footprint, compensating production emissions and running social projects worldwide since 1959.

04
Black Forest Rose

A research collaboration with Italian institute Akott explored the stem cells of the Black Forest Rose — resulting in exclusive active ingredients used first by Börlind.

Sustainability

Responsibility as a Core Principle

For Annemarie Börlind, sustainability is not a trend — it has been a lived company philosophy since 1959. As a family-owned, independent business, the brand is free to take long-term decisions, unbound by quarterly targets or investor expectations.

Sustainable Philosophy — Concrete Goals, Measurable Results

The brand’s sustainability strategy sets out clear objectives: reducing the ecological footprint, offsetting production emissions and running social projects worldwide — including aloe vera partnerships in Guatemala and rosehip oil co-operations in Nepal. All products have been 100 % vegetarian from the very beginning.

The brand is PETA-certified and NATRUE-certified. Complete rejection of animal testing — since the founding in 1959, long before it became a legal requirement.
