How a Bulgarian Family Created a Natural Solution for Eczema with Chamomile and Melissa
"In a world where chemical-based cosmetics dominate the industry, one Bulgarian family returned to their roots and created 100% natural products that have transformed the lives of thousands."
The Beginning of a Family Mission
It all started in the small town of Panagyurishte, where the Ralchevi family decided to pursue their dream - to create truly natural products inspired by Bulgarian herbs.
"We never imagined that growing herbs would become our life's passion. We started small in 2001, with 3 hectares of lavender and rose plantations," says Veselina Ralcheva, founder of InaEssentials.
Why Eczema Became a Personal Cause?
Eczema and sensitive skin are more than just issues - they affect confidence and overall well-being. Veselina personally experienced this challenge through her dear friend's young child, who suffered from severe eczema with red, inflamed patches. Nothing could heal them long-term, and she began searching for a natural solution.
"We have always believed that nature holds the answers to most problems. We just need to know where to look," explains Veselina.

The truth about Eczema. What are the hidden causes?
In 2020, after researching skin health in depth, we discovered something disturbing.
Eczema starts months before you see the red, inflamed patches and uncontrollable itching
What you see on the skin is just the final "symptom" of the issue, but the real problem starts much earlier-when the first phase (healthy skin barrier and microbiota balance) begins to break down.
Once disrupted, the cycle accelerates, causing more significant skin inflammation, deeper irritation, and the progression of eczema, all of which lead to red patches, itching, and cracked skin.
But what is the reason for this anomaly?
The problem is that the modern lifestyle and chemicals in conventional skincare products lead to:
❌ Reduced Skin Barrier Function - Chronic stress and hormonal imbalances can impair the skin's natural protective barrier, making it more vulnerable to irritants and allergens.
❌ Disrupted Skin Renewal Cycle - Chemical-laden skincare products can cause the skin barrier to weaken over time, leading to increased sensitivity, dryness, and inflammatory flare-ups.
❌ Skin Microbiome Imbalance - Synthetic ingredients in conventional creams and lotions disrupt beneficial bacteria on the skin, weakening the skin's natural defences, leading to irritation, inflammation, and eczema.
Why most solutions DO NOT work?
Above, we showed you the stages of skin health and some of the causes of eczema. Now let's discover what's preventing your skin from healing properly.
🔴 Impaired skin barrier function - The skin is literally "unprotected," which leads to moisture loss, inflammation, and eventually chronic eczema.
❗️Overuse of steroids and harsh creams - Relying on steroid treatments or aggressive skincare can suppress symptoms without addressing the root cause. In this case, the inflamed skin cannot restore its natural balance.
🔴 Oxidative stress and inflammation - Exposure to pollutants and harsh chemicals can weaken the skin barrier, leading to further irritation and skin microbiota imbalance.
Typical skincare products on the market, when not properly chosen for your skin health, can harm instead of help. Some contain harsh chemical ingredients that can damage the skin barrier, making it more prone to eczema flare-ups.
The Natural Alternative? A Powerful Herbal Synergy.
Instead of synthetic formulas, we use Chamomile and Melissa & Aloe Vera Postbiotic complex - a nature-based trio that works in synergy to calm eczema and restore the skin barrier at its root.
How Do These Herbs Work?
🌿 Chamomile
✔ Calms redness and soothes skin inflammation
✔ Helps prevent eczema flare-ups
✔ Protects against irritants and environmental aggressors
✔ Promotes skin recovery and a healthy complexion
🌿 Melissa & Aloe Vera Postbiotic
✔ Deeply hydrates and soothes sensitive skin
✔ Strengthens the skin barrier and supports microbiota balance
✔ Has antimicrobial properties to protect against bacteria and fungi
✔ Helps restore the skin's natural protective layer
This natural blend ensures that your skin gets the care and protection it needs, while restoring the skin barrier and supporting overall skin health - allowing your skin to stay calmer, hydrated, and healthier.
This natural blend of chamomile and melissa & aloe vera postbiotic is found in our new HYDROBIOTIC
OUR HYDROBIOTIC IS AN INTENSIVE SOOTHING CARE FOR ECZEMA, SENSITIVE & IRRITATED SKIN.
99% of herbal products on the market are ineffective due to the wrong extraction method. They contain the scent but not the therapeutic and healing properties.
The ancient Thracian extraction methodology
Here comes the most interesting part...
The active ingredients in our Hydrobiotic are extremely sensitive to:
- Temperature
- Processing method
- Harvesting time
- Storage method
These herbs should be:
✅ Picked early in the morning
✅ Processed within 4 hours after picking
✅ Fermented at a specific temperature
✅ Stored in a specific way
This process is something we have refined to perfection over the years...
After over 5 years of intensive research and tests, we have created our family "Hydrobiotic"

Real stories from customers:
Organic Chamomile Water for Eczema
I have been using this organic chamomile water for my daughter's eczema for a little while now and I have to say it's amazing, I have used all sorts of different creams and have used steroid creams in the past but nothing worked for her as well as this - she would be covered in blood, her shoulders and ankles would be in an awful state. ❤️
I'm so delighted my sister introduced me to this brand - there really is no need for those steroid creams when this can completely clear it up all on its own and it's all natural too. 🙂
I will continue to buy this for my daughter - it gives her so much relief. ❤️
"As a busy mom, I'm always looking for products that are safe, effective, and gentle on my family's skin. This Hydrobiotic Chamomile ticks all the boxes!
I love that it's all-natural, and I can see the difference in my kids' skin too. My son's eczema patches are visibly calmer, and he loves how soft his skin feels. I feel good knowing I'm using something that's not only effective but also healthy for them!"
I’m usually terrified to try anything new on my skin because almost everything triggers a flare-up, but I hit a point where my usual steroid creams just weren't cutting it anymore. I saw an ad for this InaEssentials Hydrobiotic and bought a bottle out of desperation.
I started using it every night before bed, and it actually works. It has a strong, earthy herbal smell - like chamomile tea - which took a second to get used to, but there’s no fake perfume in it to irritate anything.
The biggest thing for me is the itching and redness. Usually, I wake up in the middle of the night wanting to scratch my skin off, but this water completely calms that raw, burning feeling down.
If you're dealing with eczema or anything similar and you're tired of relying on steroid creams, this is genuinely worth a shot. It’s amazing.

"Since I've suffered from eczema since childhood, I knew that to keep it under control, I had to apply steroid creams and ointments. Unfortunately, in 2020, I realized I was suffering from Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW). That's when I started looking for a natural product to relieve the symptoms and heal my skin without resorting to steroids again.
I stumbled upon an online ad for this product, which had helped so many people with eczema, so I had to try it! Since ordering it in May 2023, I've used it daily and haven't looked back. My skin is softer than it's ever been and doesn't feel irritated anymore. Even if I still get minor flare-ups now and then, they clear up in a few days.
This is hands down the best thing I've ever used, and I will definitely be a customer for life. Very fast delivery and a company with great values. Thank you! ☺️"
