Bergamond & Birch x Beauty Alliance – Our move into brick-and-mortar retail

Posted by Tim Evcioglu on

A new milestone in modern men's grooming

Bergamond & Birch was founded with the aim of rethinking men's grooming: clearly defined, scientifically sound, and inspired by nature. Now we are writing the next chapter of our journey – and opening our doors to brick-and-mortar retail.

We are delighted to officially announce our partnership with Beauty Alliance , one of the largest and most prestigious associations of leading perfumeries and premium stores in Germany. This means that Bergamond & Birch will be available nationwide for the first time in selected stores.

A step that takes our brand to a new level.


Why inpatient care? Because care must be a tangible experience.

Online we offer clarity, expertise and convenience – but high-quality skincare unfolds its full value when you can experience it:
Feel the textures. Perceive the scents. Hold the packaging in your hand.

Brick-and-mortar retail makes exactly that possible.

Our collaboration with the Beauty Alliance gives us access to a network of hundreds of premium perfumeries that have stood for quality, expert advice, and a curated selection for decades. There, our products meet customers who are specifically looking for high-quality solutions – and that's exactly where B&B belongs.


What this partnership means for our customers

More proximity. More service. More experiences.

With our presence in brick-and-mortar retail, customers will benefit from:

  • Personal consultation by trained professionals

  • Direct testing of textures, scents and skin feel

  • Immediate availability of our most popular products

  • A shopping experience that makes premium care tangible.

We are now bringing our clean beauty formulations, minimalist design and scientific expertise from Düsseldorf to exclusive perfumeries throughout Germany.


Our mission remains unchanged – but our reach is growing.

Bergamond & Birch stands for modern men's grooming without compromise:
Natural. Effective. Premium.

The cooperation with the Beauty Alliance strengthens precisely these values:

  • Selective distribution that protects our positioning

  • High-quality partners who share our brand philosophy

  • Presence in premium stores where discerning customers shop

  • Joint marketing measures that create visibility

This allows us to evolve from a pure D2C brand to a fully-fledged omni-channel brand – a crucial step for our growth in the DACH market.


A look ahead

The entry into brick-and-mortar retail marks the beginning of a new phase for Bergamond & Birch.
We are already working on exclusive POS materials, sampling campaigns and special in-store promotions that will bring our brand to life on-site.

This is just the beginning – further partnerships are planned.
Our vision: To establish B&B as an integral part of the premium segment of men's grooming – both online and offline.


Conclusion: A milestone that strengthens our brand

The collaboration with the Beauty Alliance marks an important moment for us.
It confirms what we stand for: quality, standards, progress.

And it shows:
The market is ready for a brand that understands men's grooming in a modern, clear, and scientific way.

We are excited to make our products available not only digitally, but also in person – in selected perfumeries nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions

Who are Bergamond & Birch?

Bergamond & Birch is a premium skincare line developed in Düsseldorf that combines plant-based active ingredients with dermatological expertise. All products are vegan, dermatologically tested, and COSMOS NATURAL certified.

Are your products specifically designed for men or also for women?

Our products were developed with a focus on the needs of men's skin, but are generally suitable for all skin types and genders. What matters is the skin's condition and the desired skincare outcome – not the label on the medicine cabinet.

Do you produce in Europe?

Yes, our skincare products are manufactured according to European cosmetic standards. This ensures short supply chains, high quality standards, and strict safety testing.

What does COSMOS NATURAL certified mean?

COSMOS NATURAL is a Europe-wide recognized certification for genuine natural cosmetics with clearly defined requirements for raw materials, processing, and environmental compatibility. Products bearing this seal, among other things, refrain from using certain synthetic ingredients and must meet transparent criteria regarding the origin of their raw materials.

Do you use microplastics, parabens, or silicones?

No, our formulations are free of microplastics, parabens, and silicones. Instead, we rely on plant-based oils, waxes, and modern, well-researched active ingredients.

Are your products vegan and cruelty-free?

Are your products vegan and cruelty-free? Yes. All products are 100% vegan and contain no animal-derived ingredients. Furthermore, they comply with the EU Cosmetics Regulation, which prohibits animal testing for finished cosmetic products in the EU.

Can I use the products on sensitive skin or skin prone to redness?

Yes, many of our products are developed for sensitive skin and dermatologically tested. However, we still recommend testing new products on a small area of ​​skin first, especially if you have a known tendency towards allergies.

How do I integrate Bergamond & Birch into my routine?

The basic routine consists of three steps: cleansing, targeted treatment (serum), and moisturizing with a cream. Depending on individual skin needs, additional products such as eye care, body care, or specialized treatments are added.

At what age does anti-aging skincare become worthwhile?

Most anti-aging products are most effective from around the mid-20s to the early 30s, when the first fine lines appear and there is an increased need for regeneration. Crucial factors are not so much age itself, but rather things like UV exposure, stress, and skin condition.

Are your products dermatologically tested?

Yes, our formulations are dermatologically tested for compatibility. The goal is high skin tolerance, even with daily use.

How do you ensure microbiological safety?

Each batch is tested for microbiological purity, shelf life, and stability. Only products that meet these requirements are released.

Are your products comedogenic?

We select our raw materials to minimize pore clogging and support the skin barrier. However, since comedogenicity can vary from person to person, this information does not replace personal experience or dermatological advice.

How sustainable is your packaging?

Where possible, we use recyclable packaging and mono-materials to facilitate the recycling process. At the same time, we ensure robust designs so that products are reliably protected during shipping.

Do you offset CO₂ emissions during shipping?

Our logistics concept includes CO₂-compensated or climate-conscious shipping solutions in cooperation with selected partners. You can find details of currently available options at checkout.

Where do your plant-based raw materials come from?

Many of our raw materials come from controlled organic farming and are certified according to international natural cosmetics standards. Transparency regarding origin and quality is a key criterion in the selection of our suppliers.

How long does shipping take?

Within Germany, standard shipping usually takes only a few business days, depending on the shipping provider. Delivery times may be longer for other EU countries; the estimated duration will be displayed at checkout.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping costs depend on the delivery country, shipping method, and order value. The applicable conditions are clearly displayed before you complete your order. Shipping within Germany is free. ​

How does the return process work?

How does the return process work? Unopened, originally packaged products can be returned within 90 days. Details regarding the process, address, and any return shipping costs can be found in our cancellation and return policy.

What payment methods do you offer?

Depending on the country, payment options include common credit cards, instant payments, and other digital services. The currently available options are displayed at checkout.

Are there gift sets or limited editions available?

Yes, we offer curated gift sets and seasonal editions containing selected products in a coordinated combination. These sets are particularly suitable for those new to the brand or as a gift.

Do you offer discounts or newsletter benefits?

Our newsletter will keep you informed about promotions, new products, and magazine content at irregular intervals. Exclusive discounts are always time-limited and subject to the stated terms and conditions.

Does your consultation replace a visit to a dermatologist?

No. Our information does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment. For acute or chronic skin conditions, product selection should always be discussed with a medical professional.

Can I use your products during medical treatment (e.g., acne treatment)?

In general, mild, barrier-friendly formulations can be a useful addition to many therapies. However, whether a particular product is suitable depends on the individual treatment and should be clarified with the treating physician beforehand.

Do you offer individual product advice?

You can use our contact form to tell us about your skin type, current routine, and wishes. Based on this information, our team will provide non-binding recommendations for suitable product combinations – this does not replace medical advice.
