History of the Gressa Skin brand

• Svetlana Zakharevich, the founder of the GRESSA Skin brand, is originally from Russia, where during her childhood traditional herbal medicine was the main source of prevention and treatment of everyday illnesses. Drawing on this culture and knowledge of plants, and with a scientific background, Svetlana has formulated each Gressa product based on herbal medicines and their properties.
  
  With no professional experience or training in the world of cosmetics, Svetlana's passion for make-up is personal and cultural. Having grown up in a family context where beauty was intimately linked to nature and its virtues, and always with great simplicity, Svetlana has long been in search of a make-up solution in line with her desire for a simple life and in contrast to modern habits of over-consumption.

  But for Svetlana simplicity does not mean sadness or a lack of glamour and luxury. She has therefore imagined her own make-up brand Gressa as a natural, simple yet precious and "couture" range: so that Gressa organic make-up products represent what every woman deserves.

  The Gressa brand was born from Svetlana's desire to offer something different, to shake up the world of green beauty by creating natural and vegan make-up products, adapted to the demands of contemporary women, simple cosmetic products with an effective care action and respectful of delicate skin.
  
  Objective achieved! Gressa is now a clean and natural make-up brand that celebrates glamour, luxury and simplicity without any enemies for the skin: silicones, preservatives or anything harmful to our health have no place in Gressa Skin organic make-up formulas.

The philosophy of the organic cosmetics and make-up brand Gressa

  Gressa organic foundation

• After her academic background in medicine and health and wellness, Svetlana wanted to link her field of expertise with her culture for her organic cosmetics and make-up brand Gressa. She therefore merges her knowledge of bio-chemistry with traditional herbal medicine to create the exclusive and natural formulas of Gressa skincare and cosmetic products.
  
  With her brand Gressa Skin, Svetlana seeks to transcend the stigma of clean beauty and the stereotypes that plague the world of natural beauty. While strictly respecting the rules of organic cosmetics, each product is formulated with quality, certified organic ingredients and natural mineral pigments, she breaks the codes with formulas with new textures (a liquid foundation serum with a powdery finish), surprising bottles (a blush or a foundation in a pipette bottle) and a 2-in-1 approach: make-up must also be used to care for the skin.
  
  These simple (no long or incomprehensible INCI list) but effective and sensorial formulations make Gressa a pioneering and revolutionary brand.

  Gressa is also a brand committed to sustainability and limiting its environmental impact: its purple Miron glass bottles are 100% recyclable. Gressa's Minimalist foundation serum was the first to adopt this type of packaging. Today, the entire range, from Lumière blush to Lip Boost lip balm and Eye Tint eyeshadow, are all offered in these glass containers, which are reusable, recyclable and effectively protect the active plant ingredients of the formula.

  A militant brand with feminist overtones, Gressa also wants to free women from certain beauty diktats, simplify their routine and therefore their daily lives to offer a more holistic, obvious, absolute approach to natural beauty with emancipating power.
  
  Svetlana writes: "My dream is to invade every woman's bathroom, handbag and bedside table with a beautiful glass bottle, which inspires each woman to be authentic, shameless and fearless. "

ORGANIC MAKE-UP BY GRESSA SKIN: colour as care

• The Gressa Skin make-up brand uses the finest natural, organic and fair trade ingredients from renewable sources. Here are some of the key ingredients used in Gressa cosmetics:
  
  Rosehip oil
  Rich in vitamins A, C and E, this oil is valued for its ability to repair damaged skin, fade post-acne scars and prevent the signs of aging. Its high concentration of essential fatty acids allows Gressa make-up to nourish dry, stressed and dehydrated skin.
  
  Calendula extract
  For centuries, calendula flower oil has been used to heal and soothe irritated and inflamed skin. The Gressa brand also uses its petals, which are rich in carotenoids that keep the skin young by protecting it from environmental aggressors.
  
  Roman chamomile oil
  Chamomile is the ultimate anti-stress agent: widely used in herbal medicine as a relaxing tea infusion, chamomile is used in Gressa make-up to also calm red and sensitive skin and promote skin cell rejuvenation.
  
  Sea Buckthorn Oil
  This oil is a "super-ingredient" with anti-ageing power. It is the only plant source that contains omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9, as well as a high concentration of vitamins A, C and E and over 200 other essential nutrients. It's what makes Gressa foundation work wonders to keep wrinkles, acne and eczema at bay.
  
  Macadamia oil
  Macadamia nut provides a nutrient-rich oil that, despite its richness, is quickly absorbed by the skin. It has a restorative effect on dull skin and relieves dryness without clogging the pores.
  
  Jojoba oil
  This light, golden oil is actually a wax ester, which makes it almost identical to the oil that the skin naturally produces. Often used in Gressa beauty products for the complexion or lips, this versatile and powerful natural ingredient hydrates, balances and keeps the skin healthy.
  
  Hazelnut oil
  Hazelnut oil has a dry texture that is incredibly invigorating and balancing while being rich in linoleic acids, which enhance skin elasticity. Hazelnut oil is particularly beneficial for minimising pores and moisturising oily skin.
  
  Grape seed oil
  Grape seed oil gently moisturises and regulates sebum production. It provides Gressa organic cosmetics with all its free radical fighting antioxidants, anti-inflammatory polyphenols, beta-carotene and vitamins D, C and E.
  
  Ylang ylang oil
  The oil of this sweet-smelling tropical flower has powerful antiseptic and antibacterial properties that keep the skin balanced and healthy and help to preserve Gressa Skin make-up formulas naturally.
