OUR HISTORY

History is a solid basis for innovative expertise

ANNEMARIE THE PIONEER

“If I can’t eat it, I won’t put it on my skin.” – This quality claim guided Annemarie Lindner when she started producing effective natural cosmetics in the 1950s. She was decades ahead of her time. Careful handling of natural resources and the constant search for the hidden potential of nature have been integral components of the company philosophy ever since. Above all, a history of courage, diligence, and unconditional passion for natural cosmetics are behind ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Annemarie Lindner had problem skin and subjected herself to several treatments from dermatologists, some of which were painful. But they only improved her skin temporarily. She received a herbal mask treatment once when she was on vacation, and her skin gradually improved. This inspired Annemarie Lindner to become a professional cosmetologist and produce her own care products.

1959

THE YEAR THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED

On January 1, 1959, Annemarie Lindner, her husband Walter and her business partner at the time, Hermann Börner, founded Börlind GmbH with the ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND Natural Skincare brand. The company name is a combination of the last names of founders Börner and Lindner.

1965

NEUFORM CERTIFICATION

Just a few short years later, the idea of being the first cosmetics manufacturer to offer systematic care bore fruit. Börlind received the coveted neuform seal and was able to sell its products in health food stores. At the same time, the lime tree leaf logo was trademarked for ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND Natural Skincare.

1972

NEW COMPANY HEADQUARTERS

The company grew so successfully that the space for operations quickly became too small. The cornerstone was laid for today’s headquarters in Lindenstraße in Calw, Germany, in 1972.

DISCOVERY OF BÖRLIND’S OWN DEEP SPRING

That year, the company’s own deep spring was opened up at a depth of 80 meters. A second spring was later discovered at a depth of 166 meters. Today, the soft water from these springs is exclusively used in the company’s production processes.


1974

LL REGENERATION CARE SERIES CONQUERS THE COSMETICS MARKET

After a four-year period of development work with numerous tests and scientific confirmation of efficacy, it was finally time. In 1974, Börlind launched LL REGENERATION its first systematic care series in the natural cosmetics market. This marked the company’s breakthrough into the international market. Of course its exact composition remains one of Börlind’s best-kept secrets to this day.

REST IN PEACE, WALTER LINDNER

A few days after his 80th birthday, Walter Lindner succumbed to cancer on March 29, 1978. Although Annemarie Lindner was the charismatic natural cosmetics pioneer who always stood in the limelight, Walter Lindner was much more than just the man at her side. With the certain intuition of an experienced businessman, he had worked tirelessly for decades to grow the company.

1983

EXPANSION OF THE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS

In 1983, the time was ripe again: the facilities could no longer adequately satisfy the dynamic company’s growth and standards. The new ergonomically-designed headquarters with naturally-lit rooms and open architecture had a natural, transparent feel.

Today, the DADO SENS DERMACOSMETICS line includes care products for people with atopic eczema, acne, rosacea, allergies, and very dry skin.

EXPANSION OF RETAIL OUTLETS

To meet the growing demand for natural cosmetics, Michael Lindner decided to expand beyond health food stores and add other retail outlets to the sales mix in Germany.

2012

CSE CERTIFICATION

Börlind not only wanted to certify its products. All company activities would also be subjected to ongoing control. For this reason, the company decided to apply for CSE (Certified Sustainable Economics) certification. These guidelines go well beyond the usual criteria for natural cosmetics certification because they include the review and verification of the entire company and its underlying socio-ecological philosophy and not just the products.
