Madara Organic Deep Replenishing Moisturising Cream

MADARA comes from Latvia, a small country in Northern Europe, in the Baltic region, which has managed to preserve many unblemished and wild places, as well as a diversity of flowers and grasses. Northern summers are much shorter and harsher and therefore plants are forced to concentrate all of their energy on the short blossoming period to attract bees and continue their living process during the next summer. As a result, at the moment of their collection, the blossoms and herbs, which have grown in these latitudes, are especially rich with active substances and extracts that are used in the production of MADARA cosmetics. They are powerful and effective.

MADARA is an entirely natural and organic range of cosmetics that is certified according to the international ECOCERT standard. Its ingredients include biologically certified flower and herb extracts from the Baltic region, as well as other natural substances. MADARA packaging is environment friendly and can be recycled. We use only ecological cleaning agents in the production of our products; we do not carry out experiments on animals and use energy efficient production equipment.
