Our Story
Born from the vision of Madeleine Van Landeghem and the creativity of a chemist, MAVALA began in 1959 with the idea that beauty should be both effective and accessible. Our mini nail polishes challenged convention at a time when oversized bottles were the norm – proof that innovation has always been in our DNA.
For the Planet
We take our part in protecting the planet seriously. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact at every stage, from the design of our packaging through to how our products are made and sold, while staying true to our values of excellence and innovation.
In practice, here is what we are doing:
- We are removing the plastic cellophane from around our cardboard cartons, to cut out unnecessary waste.
- We are reducing the use of paper leaflets.
- We are using more recycled plastic in our tubes.
- Our cartons and card inserts mostly come from sustainably managed, FSC-certified forests.
- We favour local and regional sourcing, to limit environmental impact.
- We work to minimise energy use throughout the manufacturing of our formulas.
Social and environmental responsibility has been central to our strategic and operational decisions for years. We are moving forward with honesty and transparency, to reduce the environmental impact of what we do.
Every step counts.
Remaining proudly independent, MAVALA continues to anticipate trends without conforming to fleeting dictates of beauty. Our strength lies in balancing timelessness with innovation – a heritage that continues to inspire everything we do today .
