Palmetten

Palmetten is the house brand of Palmetten Interiör AB, a Swedish wholesaler and distributor of bath, spa, body-care and room-fragrance products based in Mariestad. The company sells only to businesses rather than to the public, describing itself as "a distributor in bath, spa, body care and room fragrances" [1]. Alongside the third-party lines it distributes, it markets a small own-brand range under the Palmetten name.

The distinction matters for placing the brand: Palmetten is primarily a business-to-business operation, and the Palmetten-branded products form one private-label line among the many brands it carries for Nordic retailers. The company remains active, with a current product catalogue and shipping across the Nordic region.

Palmetten Interiör AB operates from Mariagatan 29 in Mariestad, Sweden, and positions itself as a wholesaler with more than twenty years in the trade. Its model is explicitly business-to-business: the company states that it "does not sell to private individuals, only to businesses" [1]. Orders are shipped throughout the Nordic region via PostNord, DHL and UPS.

The catalogue it distributes is broad, spanning bath bombs, salts and oils, soaps, body-care items, scented candles and diffusers, bath accessories, and a range of children's bath products. Featured brands carried by the company include Bomb Cosmetics, Isabelle Laurier, Dresdner Essenz, Mineral Beauty System, Wax Lyrical and Fikkerts, as well as licensed character ranges such as Moomin and Peppa Pig [1]. The Palmetten house brand sits within this assortment as the company's own line.

According to public corporate records, Palmetten Interiör AB is a small firm, reporting three employees and turnover of roughly 8 million SEK for 2023 [7].

The own-brand range is organised into three lines. Palmetten Bath covers bathroom and personal-care items — brushes, sponges, foot baths, massage gloves, nail brushes, pumice stones and loofah brushes — with the bath sub-range listing around 28 products [6]. Palmetten Present covers gift packaging and presentation items, and Badbomb Donut is a specialty bath-bomb product [5].

The company frames the line around everyday value, describing an assortment that runs "from French natural soap to brushes and gift packaging" and stating that it "strives to offer quality at a good price" [5]. Beyond product categories and this positioning, the house brand carries no separately published philosophy, ingredient information or manufacturing detail. The company also offers private-label services to clients, citing customisable options such as Marseille soap printed with a customer's logo and branded alcohol-free hand sanitiser [4].

Palmetten presents itself chiefly through its customer relationships rather than a product manifesto. The company says its customers are its focus and that it values "the personal contact" built with them, framing its aim as long-term partnerships supported by a mix of established products and newer additions [2]. This service-and-relationship emphasis, rather than a signature formulation or hero ingredient, is the brand's stated identity.

The company publishes a sustainability policy centred on sourcing and logistics. It says it aims to place larger orders with suppliers to reduce the number of transports, measures transport impact against revenue, and prioritises sourcing within the EU to shorten distances [3]. On product safety, the policy states that the company tracks the EU candidate list of substances of very high concern and removes products containing listed chemicals [3]. It also commits to human-rights and fair-labour standards among its suppliers, with performance reviewed annually. The policy was developed with the audit and advisory firm BDO Sverige. No specific eco-certifications, such as vegan, cruelty-free or Nordic Swan marks, are stated.

The company's website lists Magnus Lundberg as chief executive (VD), alongside staff in sales and administration [2]. Public corporate records name Henrik Gustafsson as chair of the board [7]; the two entries describe different corporate roles rather than conflicting accounts of the same position.

Palmetten Interiör AB is an active Swedish distributor. Its website and product catalogue are current, corporate filings run through 2023, and it ships across the Nordic region. It remains a small operation whose Palmetten-branded products are one private-label line within a wider distribution business.
