From a shared-flat kitchen to forpeople

  • The idea: Benno searched for a long time for a hand cream that suited him and found none. So he developed his own formula in his shared-flat kitchen, without water.
  • 2019: Benno shows the cream to his brother Fritz. Together with Marc and Lennart, the first real prototype is made: the "Daumenschmaus".
  • 2020: The first parcels go out, straight from the shared flat. Later an office follows, and Fritz and Marc quit their jobs. The idea becomes 4peoplewhocare.
  • 2021 to 2024: An in-house production is set up, and the range grows.
  • 2025: New design and new name: forpeople. Fritz, Marc and the team in Hamburg carry on.
