Poland has become one of the leaders in terms of natural cosmetics production. You may not know this as yet, but the country’s total export of cosmetics to the UAE is over €33,5 million. Shopping for local, natural and/or organic beauty products and cosmetics has become the norm over the years, and they sure have plenty to offer. The country will even be showcasing top Polish beauty brands at Expo 2020 Dubai. Here we take a look at some of the best natural beauty brands to shop online or on your next visit to Poland.
MELLI CARE
Created specifically for those with Diabetes and Hashimoto, the range features vegan, natural hand, foot (with 10% urea which works keratolytically) and baby creams. All products have been extensively tested, are ecologically neutral and are free from preservatives, phthalates, alcohol, sls, mineral oils, petroleum derivatives or genetically modified substances. The creams boast fruity scents and are incredibly hydrating for people who suffer from dry skin, as it contains Vitamin E and shea butter. The entire range has been created to soothe skin, irritation and protect it while regenerating skin cells.
STARA MYDLARNIA
This natural cosmetics producer has stores across Poland, retailing everything from bath and body care to hair products, accessories, aromatherapy goodies and gift sets. It’s kind of like your one-stop-shop. If we had to pick one product from the range, it would be this Organic Shampoo bar that boasts a velvety texture, natural pH, vitamin B, glycerin and rose extract.

Nuev relies on scientific knowledge and facts and contains an innovative formula that combines scientific discoveries with good-for-your-skin ingredients including Vitamin E, Vitamin C, aloe extract to soothe skin, apricot kernel to to soften and firm skin, and grape seed oil to protect against free radicals, amongst many other ingredients. This Multifunctional protective cream can be used as a makeup base or day cream and features an antioxidant composition and an SPF 15 filter that provides additional anti-wrinkle effects.
HAGI
Every product from Hagi smells divine! Created by a mum and her daughters, this family business offers an extensive range of cosmetics and baby products, with nourishing ingredients and essential oils to cater to every need. Not only will they look gorgeous on your vanity or bathroom shelf – the packaging is adorable – they will also fill your room with a subtle scent. We recommend working your way through the range, but to begin with, try the Body lotion stick which contains shea butter, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, beeswax and sea buckthorn oil – available in various scents. If you have a little one or know someone who does, take home the Natural Baby Soap with rice oil.
ILI OLA
Winter is looming and all you need is a rich body butter to protect skin and keep it hydrated all day long. ILI OLA may be the solution to dry, flaky skin. Their body butters are made with 100 per cent natural ingredients featuring shea butter, cocoa butter, baobab oil, coconut oil, vitamin E and a composition of natural essential oils: rose, bergamot and sandalwood. The packaging is sleek and simple, you can slip a tub into your handbag, and use it on your face and body whenever required. We love the Oriental fragrance that has oud notes.
