Résumé
Is cosmetics destined to remain wasteful, harmful and tied to global mass production? A small country shows that alternatives are possible — a quiet David proving that even Goliath can be challenged. In Austria, an independent cosmetics industry is emerging — rooted in nature, guided by sustainability. Far from global mass production, local producers create skincare and fragrances from herbs, minerals, milk and bee products. The film explores gardens, workshops, and laboratories across the Alpine regions, observing the masters of natural cosmetics at work. The film unveils traditional knowledge and scientific innovation in harmony with ecological values, while revealing the art behind perfumes and plant-based skincare. The Scent of the Alps celebrates craftsmanship and responsibility — a poetic journey through Austria's landscapes and the sustainable spirit shaping its beauty industry.Objectif
