In 2016, the Bio LAK Indigenous Plant Conservation Garden project in Vietnam embarked on a mission to preserve the country's rich botanical heritage. The team dedicated years to searching and collecting ancient Vietnamese plant species, facing numerous challenges along the way. Their passion for preserving Vietnam's plant heritage transformed the dream of a flourishing conservation garden into a reality.
The Bio LAK Conservation Garden now houses indigenous plants with unique scents, such as perilla, guava, and Eriochloa procera, a modest plant that releases a subtle fragrance when dried. After initial success in conservation, Bio LAK shifted its focus to maximizing the application of Vietnamese plants in everyday life. Vietnam boasts a treasure trove of valuable plants, including species with medicinal properties considered among the rarest in the world.
This botanical treasure trove, the Bio LAK Conservation Garden, houses a multitude of plants with recognized virtues, such as perilla, red flower tea, green tea, pearl tree, Gardenia jasminoides, Sphagneticola calendulacea, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and fig. These natural treasures are carefully harvested to create skincare products of unparalleled purity.
Bio LAK, a brand dedicated to consumers who prefer natural and environmentally friendly body care products, manufactures products from indigenous plants and traditional species. The brand aims to showcase Vietnamese flora in internationally certified beauty products.
Following extensive research in partnership with experts, Bio LAK has developed skincare ranges that blend tradition and modernity, highlighting the treasures of Vietnamese flora. Adhering to the principle of "enough to be consumed," Bio LAK is committed to offering healthy and safe products. Its national and international certifications, including those issued by the Hanoi Agricultural Environment Institute, attest to the quality of the ingredients and production processes.
Bio LAK is based on the idea that each plant has unique and beneficial properties for the skin. They carefully select indigenous plants from Vietnam, cultivate them responsibly, and use them to create natural and effective beauty products. Bio LAK offers a wide range of products for the face and body, such as cleansers, serums, moisturizers, oils, and balms. Their products are often adapted to different skin types and specific problems.
After rigorous evaluation of raw materials to production processes, Bio LAK's first products, such as Gardenia Jasminoides Ellis floral water, Michelia floral water, perilla powder, white turmeric powder, and herbal mouthwash, have received non-GMO certification. Bio LAK is proud to be the first Vietnamese cosmetics brand to obtain non-GMO certification, demonstrating rigorous control of Bio LAK's production, from sourcing to finished products.
For Bio LAK, sustainable development encompasses the entire journey, from the preservation of indigenous floral varieties to the development of its product formulas.
