Vinoble Cosmetics began with Luise Köfer, a founder who saw beauty not as an industry but as an intersection of nature, science and responsibility. With a background steeped in sustainable practices and an eye for the future, she set out to create a skincare brand that was as ethical as it was effective.
Before launching Vinoble in 2003, Luise spent years in the beauty world, witnessing a shift. People wanted more than just high-quality skincare – they wanted purity, sustainability and integrity. She saw an opportunity to craft luxurious formulations without compromise. The answer? The vineyards of Austria.
Inspired by the landscapes surrounding her home, Luise looked to the grapevine – not just as a symbol of longevity but as a scientifically proven powerhouse for skin health. Grapeseeds and skins are packed with polyphenols, antioxidants and vitamins that combat oxidative stress, slow down ageing and support the skin’s natural resilience. This fusion of nature and innovation became the backbone of Vinoble’s approach, leading to groundbreaking formulas that blend the best of botanical extracts with the latest advancements in skincare science. For Luise, sustainability is not a marketing tagline – it’s the backbone of Vinoble. Every ingredient is sourced with integrity, working with local suppliers who share her dedication to responsible agriculture and ethical labour practices.
The brand's commitment extends beyond the product itself – packaging is eco-friendly, production methods are low-impact, and cruelty-free is a given.
As Vinoble grew, its reputation followed suit. Luxury spas and high-end wellness retreats sought out the brand, drawn by its potent formulas and ethical philosophy. Collaborations with design-led wellness destinations, including the renowned L’AND Hotel & Spa in Portugal, solidified Vinoble’s standing as a leader in sustainable luxury skincare.
Vinoble’s philosophy remains unchanged – pioneering skincare that is both indulgent and environmentally responsible. By harnessing innovations like grape stem cells, the brand continues to push boundaries while staying true to its origins. More than just a collection of skincare products, Vinoble is a statement. Beauty should never come at the expense of the planet. It is about sustainability without compromise, nature without limits and skincare that does not just work – it transforms.
Luise Köfer’s vision remains as bold as ever, proving that when science and nature work in harmony, true beauty follows.
