About STYX
Traditional family business since 1965 — in the heart of Lower Austria
We are always with nature
For more than 55 years, the Austrian family-owned company has been manufacturing natural cosmetics with around 60 employees.
What sounds like expert craftsmanship is much more than that in STYX Naturcosmetic.
For us, the process by which natural cosmetics are created goes beyond manual labor. For those who want to produce real natural cosmetics that reflect the philosophy, quality and passion of the company, this process means not only craftsmanship, but also art. The art of incomparable natural care.

Raw materials
We source our raw materials mainly from Austria or the home of plants and herbs such as lavender from Provence. Particular attention is paid to the highest quality. The best raw materials, such as organic or wild herbs, cold-pressed vegetable oils or 100% pure essential oils, are the prerequisite for the creation of superior natural beauty products with high performance.
Package
STYX Naturcosmetic attaches great importance to sustainability, which is why the theme of “packaging” is especially important to us. At the same time, the needs of our customers are also growing, including for sustainable packaging. We are constantly looking for better and more sustainable solutions, but we have to take into account different criteria.
Electric vehicle fleet
The STYX electric vehicle fleet now includes four vehicles and three charging stations. These vehicles carry out orders and deliveries within a radius of 80 km. Short, polluting trips can be done in an environmentally friendly way in one of the electric powered vehicles.
Solar energy
STYX has been using the photovoltaic system since August 2013. The system includes collectors with an area of 280 m 2, which annually produce about 54,000 kWh of electricity. Solar energy is used optimally because STYX already generates 30% of its annual electricity needs from solar energy.
