Karin Hunkel, the founder
During my time as a trainer for "Holistic Color Consulting," I was looking for makeup that met the standards of natural cosmetics. Unfortunately, it was anything but easy at the time. In 2011, I took it upon myself to develop one.
I founded the brand ANGEL MINERALS – a manufacturer with its own production of natural, vegan mineral makeup. The brand was protected by utility model law and certified as a natural cosmetics product (by ICADA). It also carries the Vegan Flower label (Vegan Society, UK) and the PETA label. Over time, vegan brushes, mascara, lipsticks, and mini lips were added to the initial powders, which was quite a feat for me with such a small factory.
My path to becoming a manufacturer of natural cosmetics developed from my 30 years as a "colorist." This means being the author of three books on the effects of color (the last of which sold 45,000 copies at Stb). I developed "Holistic Color Consulting" (also the book title) in 1986 and launched my first publications on the subject. This was followed by 30 years of seminars and training courses in holistic-psychological color consulting. In 2011, I developed the mineral cosmetics ANGEL MINERALS.
When I began working with color, I was an absolute pioneer in the field of color consulting. However, the idea of tailoring colors to the four color types was too superficial for me. Not least through my psychology studies at the University of Frankfurt and my art semester at the Städel Museum, I knew: colors can do more, colors do more. They create moods and are even capable of healing.
By combining color and psychology, I have succeeded in developing my own holistic concept, which I have taught to hundreds of consultants in training seminars.
My fourth book, titled "Farbberatung - No Black Today" will be published by BoD in mid-May 2025. It will be available in paperback from then on.
