Herba Slovenica is a family-owned business that produces all-natural cosmetic products from 99 % Slovenian ingredients. Recently, we have expanded our diverse product assortment of ointments, hydrosols, bar soaps, oils and toothpastes by adding a line of first Slovenian certified organic oil perfumes; wooden products, such as soap dishes and candle holders; candles from organic beeswax and cosmetic cases.
Our products consist entirely of certified organic ingredients of our own or from other, mostly local suppliers. Most are made from herbs that grow in our garden or are harvested in intact nature; and from organic olive oil from Slovenian Istria whose structure is perfect for skincare. Some contain organic Slovenian beeswax. Due to the all-natural and organic ingredients, all of our products suit all skin types.
We respect the principles of sustainable development, that is why we chose local suppliers and pay a lot of attention to packaging. Our products almost exclusively come in glass containers, for glass is the purest packaging that does not affect the product in any way. Since it is also recyclable, we encourage our clients to return empty jars and bottles in exchange for a discount with their next purchase.
All our products are meticulously handmade with love and devotion by three members of our family.
»I have been making natural cosmetics for quite some time now. My hobby became my occupation when I started to produce and develop natural ointments for another brand. With Herba Slovenica, we are taking a new path and bringing the idea of quality organic cosmetics and other products to life.«
»At first I helped Sonja with harvesting and drying the herbs. After a course on herbal distillation I then began to produce hydrosols. My favourite occupation, though, is woodworking. My father was a carpenter, so it has interested me since childhood. When we were looking for a solution that would help soap bars last longer, I invented the soap dish.«
»I have been studying herbalism and the production of natural cosmetics for over a decade. What interests me most are aromatherapy and botanical perfume making. After having developed the first four oil perfumes, I am now planning to develop a collection of alcohol-based perfumes.«
