Sometimes one thing leads to another… Remember our discovery of Latvian sea buckthorn? Well, in response to that post, we were introduced to a couple of other Latvian brands, along with a confirmation that there is, indeed, a lot going on in the Latvian market when it comes to turning materials around us into (organic) cosmetic products.
How about this on: dairy spa products by Pien. Yes, dairy, they use milk. This is what they explain on the website: “Our specialists have created this product inspired by fresh air, clear water and white milk”. This is certainly conveyed in the clean design of the products, check this out:
- I really like the milk carton!
And Pien is a good company: The raw materials are made from Latvian farm milk, thus supporting the local producers. And the essences and preservatives added are natural or ecologically produced. In other words: worth trying out in the name of natural beauty!
But there are more Latvian cosmetic brands, for instance Madara eco cosmetics which offers a wide range of certified organic cosmetic products. This company is already present in many countries (not in the Netherlands) and it has a good webshop.
I have a feeling this is not the last time we hear from Latvia…
