Our Story
The Urtekram journey started in 1972, selling organic spices and care products out of a small basement shop located in the heart of Copenhagen. Interest in the brand grew fast and so did the production as well as the range of products available.
In 1989 Urtekram moved its headquarters to Mariager in Jutland, Denmark. Today, Urtekram products are sold in both stores and online throughout Europe and large parts of the rest of the world.

From sugar-canes to your bathroom - Urtekram packaging is plant based, made from sugar cane waste with no impact on food production. Instead of discharging CO2, damaging the environment, production of sugar cane helps reduce the amount of CO2.
Every ton of sugar cane actually absorbs two tons of CO2 from the environment. Its like a reverse greenhouse effect. This means less use of conventional plastic and more care for the environment and for you.
As a sustainable producer of beauty products Urtekram constantly strive to find the best material solutions. Today they use plant-based plastics, but who knows what tomorrow will bring!
FSC-certified paper - The FSC-certification ensures responsible forestry where no more trees are felled than the forest can produce. FSC is also a guarantee that animals and plant life are protected and that those who work in the forest have education, proper safety equipment and a reasonable salary.
All packaging paper in Urtekram production is FSC-certified, which ensures that they only use paper from sustainable forests and that the forest cycle stays intact.
