🥰 New: Clay face masks 100% Microplastic Free
We're not just going to make your home shine, but you too! In our new personal care range, we're making sure you can use junk-free products with peace of mind that go beyond what the industry usually offers.
 
Let's kick things off with clay masks or mud masks. Korean skin-care is super popular and really effective. The clay is based on alginate, which comes from seaweed. Almost all masks, both mud and sheet, contain synthetic polymers, or microplastics. So you're basically putting microplastics right on your face. We've studied the ingredients of effective Korean skincare brands and swapped out the polymers for natural mineral alternatives, without losing any effectiveness. In fact, clay masks are 5-10x more effective than sheet masks for skin goals like cleansing, oil control, glow, and anti-acne. And up to 2x more effective for anti-aging.
 
Sheet masks are more effective for hydration and softening, so you can combine them for the best results. We've made a table below for you with an overview of how effective the mud and sheet masks are for specific skin goals:
We have 5 variants:
👁 Velvet Eye Firming around the eyes and puffy areas, collagen, anti-aging
 Pure Gold Glow and anti-aging
🌱 Tea Tree Impurities & oily skin, anti-acne
💠 Crystal Calm Sensitive, stressed skin
🍍 Tropical Glow Up Glow & regeneration (not suitable for sensitive skin)
 
Looking for anti-age, for both young and old? Go for Pure Gold and Velvet Eye.
Looking for something for anti-acne? Then use Tea Tree.
 
How does it work?
 1. Mix the powder with water into a smooth paste in a bowl
 2. Apply as quickly as possible evenly to your face or specific zones
 3. Let it dry for 15-20 min until the mask is firm
 4. Remove in one motion from bottom to top
 5. Feel the refreshment, and see the difference after just a few uses! We recommend using it 1-2x per week as a reset moment for your skin.
 
Not only are mud masks way more effective, they're also better biodegradable, and you won't be putting junk on your face or in your body. And the cherry on top: the price is about the same, but you can often use a sachet twice. So actually, it's twice as cheap as regular masks from the big brands. With 15% intro discount on the masks, or 4+1 free, or 20% off the starter kit including 1 free mask, what are you waiting for? Time to shine this weekend with your BFF! 🤩 Cosmeau fans don't just smell better, they shine more too 😏
 
Discount code: IKSTRAAL15
☝️ Fun fact: Our mud masks have the highest effectiveness in facial cleansing as a consumer product, right after professional treatments in clinics.
🇳🇱🌲 New: Scent Pearls Wild Forest Made in Holland

We've got 2 new scents that we produce locally ourselves, Wild Forest and Sea Breeze!

We're currently testing a slightly higher concentration so you need less. We're still trying to find the sweet spot, which can also vary per scent. So please keep giving us feedback and also share the batch code you can usually find on the front or back near the logo. This way you help us get the perfect formula for each scent, thank you!

For now, we've managed to cut the drying time by a factor of 3 and next week we'll be installing better spray arms for more consistency during the process. Not bad for just a month! We're going to keep on innovating!

With the launch of 2 new scents, we're extending last month's discount promo:

Because we've reached this milestone together, we're giving you a 50% discount on orders until August 11th. Plus, get a free scent pearl refill of your choice when you spend €90 or more! 🙌

Use code: GEURPARELNL2
For 50% off. Max 2 per person and valid until August 11th on all Made in Holland scents.

🏭 Production update: On to 7 new machines
We can't wait until we can fully fill our scent pearls by machine! Literally and figuratively. Ben and Jason have therefore moved the trip up by 2 months and are flying to China for a week on August 9th to check out 7 different machines . In the picture above, we sent the manufacturer of the filling machine our packaging to test if it could be filled with their machine. The test was a success and in August we'll get a live demo of this.
 
Besides the filling machine, we're also looking at a tablet machine, sorting machine, and mixing machines from different manufacturers. This way, we can make even more products ourselves before the end of the year and automate the whole process from production to filling. It's awesome to see, and we'll be sharing lots of photos and videos.
 
Of course, we're following all EU requirements, so the machines will be set up for at least cGMP, cosmetic grade production.
🏭 Warehouse and Production Expansion
Since we produce everything ourselves at our own location in Velsen-Noord and have 7+ machines on the way, we need more space. When we moved in 1.5 years ago, we already planned for production. We're in the right environmental category and have enough power to set up a full-fledged mini factory.
 
The blue area is our office, the purple area is our current warehouse/production/lab/fulfillment. Most of it is used for storing our stock. The green area will be the new extension, about 2,500m2. That's where our stock and logistics will move, with 2 loading docks (Jason's big wish for those who've been following us for a while). The purple area will then be fully dedicated to production, so we can keep growing for years—in both capacity and automation.
 
The final decisions are being made now about the expansion, and we expect to finish in February/March 2026. Super exciting! We'll share everything with you, from the first pile in the ground to the grand opening! 🎉
 
Awesome long-term projects, all to make sure you get the best products at a great price—no junk, made by us right here in the Netherlands. Every product you buy helps us on this mission 🙏
 
As always, thanks for choosing Cosmeau 💚
 
With your support, we're working on:
Locally made with a positive impact. We're creating affordable and sustainable cleaning products for you and your home, step by step—honest and ethical.
 
Free shipping (NL) on orders over €19 — otherwise just €2.95. Fast delivery, usually the next business day from our Dutch warehouse.
