Banbu, a Spanish natural, organic and endocrine disruptor-free cosmetics brand, has secured a new €200,000 investment from Eoniq.fund, reinforcing Eoniq’s commitment to a company that is redefining personal care through health, product innovation and responsible manufacturing.
Based in Cantabria and founded by Verónica Díez and Rodrigo Folgueira, Banbu has built a distinctive proposition within the cosmetics industry based on natural, organic, vegan, cruelty-free and endocrine disruptor-free formulations. The company develops products manufactured in Spain using certified ingredients and follows an approach focused on reducing the environmental impact of traditional cosmetics, both through formulation and packaging.
The brand has established a strong position in categories such as solid cosmetics, hair care, oral hygiene, deodorants, soaps, facial care and body care products. Its offering focuses on low-waste, refillable or plastic-free formats, as well as formulations free from endocrine disruptors. This approach responds to a growing consumer demand for effective, healthy and responsible alternatives for everyday personal care without compromising on brand experience or product quality.
Banbu’s journey has been recognised within both the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the responsible beauty industry. The company was awarded Most Innovative Startup in Cantabria at the EmprendeXXI Awards, promoted by CaixaBank DayOne and ENISA. It has also received recognition for its low-waste proposition and responsible packaging through the Organic Clean Awards.
With this new investment, Banbu will strengthen its production capabilities, expand its portfolio of natural and endocrine disruptor-free products, accelerate growth across both digital and physical sales channels, and continue developing cosmetic solutions with a lower environmental footprint. Eoniq.fund’s support will also help consolidate the brand’s position in an increasingly competitive market, where transparency, certification and responsible formulation have become key differentiating factors.
For Eoniq.fund, Banbu represents an opportunity to support a company with a strong brand identity, proven traction among conscious consumers and significant expansion potential beyond the Spanish market. The investment aligns with the fund’s strategy of backing early-stage Spanish companies that combine innovation, scalability and a clear positive-impact proposition.
“Banbu brings together many of the elements we look for in a company: a purpose-driven brand, a differentiated product and a market undergoing significant transformation. Its ability to connect health, quality and everyday consumption makes it a highly compelling company within the emerging landscape of responsible cosmetics.”— Tom Horsey, Managing Partner at Eoniq.fund
