Kluuf is a company that consists out of real people and partners who have their own stories, are diverse, and not simply a faceless cooperation.

The section below gives a little insight into who is behind Kluuf itself and which partners support us in our mission to offer you the best skin care and at the same time do something good in the world.

After a career in a global corporation, which included assignments in Germany, England, Austria, Romania and Switzerland, Florian founded his first company in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
