Organic cosmetics: not just a trendy label, but a method
Organic cosmetics are skincare products whose plant ingredients are grown by the rules of organic farming, without synthetic pesticides, and processed so that the plant's active compounds are kept intact. Genuine organic cosmetics carry an organic mark and certificate on the packaging, and their contents are traceable from the field to the finished product.
What organic cosmetics really are
Organic cosmetics are products in which the plant raw materials are grown using organic farming methods. That means soil free of synthetic pesticides, no chemical enhancers and no artificial speeding up of growth. When a plant develops at its own natural pace, it builds up the full range of essential oils, antioxidants and trace elements that we later find in the finished product.
That is why organic cosmetics are not just a marketing buzzword. The term describes an entire chain of choices, in which every step protects the plant's properties. It is also the difference between natural cosmetics and bio cosmetics that stand behind their word with a certificate.
Organic cosmetics versus conventional
The very same herb can give a completely different result depending on how it is grown. Here is where the difference lies:
That is why an organic product and a conventional product with the same herb name on it are not the same thing. The difference is in the concentration of the valuable compounds and in the absence of unwanted residues.
One step further: the secret we add
Genuine organic cosmetics do not stop at clean soil. In our family, we go one step further that most brands skip, and that is exactly what sets us apart.
We gather the nettle at full moon, when it is at its most potent and its properties are strongest, and we spray our fields with the resulting brew several times a year. It is a kind of care that takes time and cannot be rushed, but it is the reason our organic cosmetics stay truly clean.

The awards and family behind InaEssentials
Behind every bottle of organic cosmetics stands a real family and years of hard work. It all began in 2001 in the small town of Panagyurishte, where our family, quite adventurously, planted its first 5 acres of lavender and rose fields.
With thousands of happy customers, the family also earned national awards
These honours are recognition of something simple: organic cosmetics made honestly, from our own fields and with care at every step.
