Environmentalist Delighted By Our Ethics & Insistence On Using Natural, Healthy Ingredients

We invited Dr Frank R. Jansen, a highly respected American Health, Safety and Environment Specialist to review our research, development and production facilities on the pristine island of Langkawi UNESCO Geopark, Malaysia.

He was trained as a surgeon in the Southeast Asian rainforests when he worked with medical teams in the Vietnam War. After returning to the U.S, he turned his attention to conservation of the environment where one of his major achievements was the implementation of a clean water act in Florida. His love of the rainforests and his engineering experience in assessing development impact in sensitive environments were the reasons why we invited Dr. Jansen to Langkawi UNESCO Geopark to review our operations and processes at the Paul Penders International headquarter facilities.

"I have known about Paul Penders cosmetics since they were first produced in the United States. As an environmentalist, I was immediately drawn to the company's ethical stance on both the treatment of animals and their insistence on the use of natural healthy ingredients, which was in stark contrast to the practices of their mainstream competitors.

I was interested to learn that Paul had commenced operations on Malaysia's beautiful Langkawi UNESCO Geopark because I have a longstanding love of tropical rainforests, and there are few as stunning and undisturbed as the ancient forests of Langkawi. It was therefore a great opportunity when I was invited to visit Paul's facilities and review its method of operations - from the use of raw materials through processing and the testing of the final products.

I was able to verify that wherever possible Paul's used ingredients that are certified organic. The products are cold-processed to keep the bio-active ingredients intact without diminishing their benefits. Quality control of the processing facility was up to GMP standards required by U.S. authorities. I was able to verify that the 22 herbs in LevensESSENTIE Gold™ extract used in Paul Penders products is organically grown and come with a formal organic certification paper."
