Karin Hunkel - Founder of ANGEL MINERALS
As a trainer in Holistic Color Consulting, I was always searching for a makeup line that truly lived up to the standards of natural cosmetics. Back then, it was nearly impossible to find one - so in 2011, I decided to create my own.
That was the beginning of ANGEL MINERALS: a boutique brand producing natural, vegan mineral makeup in our own small-scale factory. The brand was protected by utility model law and certified by ICADA as genuine natural cosmetics. Our products also carry certifications from the Vegan Society (UK) and PETA. What started with mineral powders gradually expanded into a full range - including vegan brushes, mascaras, lipsticks, and mini lips - a big step for a small manufactory like ours.
My journey into natural cosmetics was a natural progression from my 30 years of experience as a “Color Woman.” I’ve written three books on the psychological and emotional effects of color - the latest of which sold over 45,000 copies through Schirner Verlag. In 1986, I developed the concept of Holistic Color Consulting, also the title of my last book, and was one of the first to publish on this topic in Europe. Over the next three decades, I led seminars and training programs for hundreds of professionals in holistic color psychology. And in 2011, I channeled that expertise into the creation of ANGEL MINERALS.
When I first started working with color in 1986, I was a true pioneer. But I quickly realized that the typical system - dividing people into just four color types - was far too simplistic. Thanks to my background in psychology (University of Frankfurt) and art (Städel School of Fine Arts), I knew that color could do so much more. Color shapes emotion. It transforms spaces. It even has the power to heal.
By combining psychology and color theory, I developed a unique, holistic approach that I passed on to hundreds of consultants through training and seminars.
