Discover 5 Spanish natural cosmetics brands that are niche and emerge from technology
Quality, transparency and sustainability define these brands of Spanish origin that are committed to niche natural cosmetics that are respectful of the skin (and the planet)
More and more people are investing in high-end cosmetics, also known as niche cosmetics . If you don't know about them, you might be wondering: what's so special about them? The answer is simple: a strong investment in research, quality ingredients formulated with cutting-edge technology, little or no investment in advertising and strong values that support projects that, in most cases, are family-owned or author-owned.
Niche natural cosmetics and their value
The effort is even greater when these niche companies are natural cosmetics , that is, when the ingredients used are of organic origin (we are talking about a percentage that exceeds 99%). And in which, in addition, sustainability and respect for the environment are present in each and every one of their production processes, packaging included.
Combining quality, efficacy and sensoriality in natural cosmetic formulas is a complicated task that requires extensive research. In addition to technical difficulties, there are marketing strategies . The hackneyed claim “100% natural” is present on many cosmetic product packagings that do not deliver what they promise, distorting their meaning and, therefore, generating doubts in customers.
At ECOLOVER we have selected 5 niche natural cosmetics brands made in Spain that are a guarantee of success and that it is advisable to know (if you don't know them already, of course). Take note!
The Beauty of Caring
Isabel and Guillermo are the founders of this Barcelona-based natural cosmetics firm that advocates what they themselves define as circular caring , a chain of care that begins with ourselves and encompasses our entire environment until it reaches the planet, our home.
Their formulas feature natural ingredients that come from the flora of lakes and oceans. Their star ingredient? Microalgae Biotech, present in all their products in the form of enzymes with a powerful anti-aging action . Its functions include repairing DNA damaged by solar radiation and correcting skin blemishes.
Their commitment to natural and sustainable products is reflected in formulas with 100% natural ingredients (the one with the lowest presence has 99.5%); in recyclable glass packaging and in practices that promote the reduction of the carbon footprint.
One product? Night Night Face Cream . Formulated with Retinal, hyaluronic acid of three different molecular weights and several of its Microalgae Biotech enzymes, this cream renews your skin while you sleep. It treats texture, spots and wrinkles, while deeply hydrating it. It's a must for any nighttime routine.
Ami Iyok
Mother Earth. That is what Ami Iyök means in the language of the Bribri, the ethnic group from the Costa Rican jungle that inspired Elena Alarcón to create this niche natural cosmetics brand. All of its products are formulated with 100% natural ingredients from organic farming and with technological active ingredients that are very gentle on the skin.
One of their successes is the sensorial textures and aromas they have achieved in their natural formulas, something very complex in the field of clean beauty . Those who use them fall in love with them! The firm also stands out for its minimalist and elegant packaging made of violet glass and poplar wood, eco-friendly and recyclable.
To complete Ecosmetics , its basic line, Microbiota Skinwarriors was created , the most advanced line based on the microbiome . The products that are part of it seek to strengthen the skin's natural protective barrier to treat different skin disorders, such as spots or rosacea.
A product? Age Combat serum (Warrior III) in ampoule format. Its powerful formula combines three actions: renewing, antioxidant and moisturizing, while respecting the skin's natural microbiota. A perfect option for all skin types (including the most sensitive) looking to prevent the signs of aging.
Backture Organics
Are there natural, high-end, sustainable cosmetics with a masculine scent? This is the question Iñaki and Naiara asked themselves before creating Backture Organics. They were looking for an organic men's cosmetics brand that combined everything they believed in (sustainability, transparency, proximity...) and whose formulas were effective. They didn't find it, so they decided to create it.
Backture has only been around for a year and has three products on the market, but they have already become three essentials for maintaining a good facial care routine. For now, with its cleanser, serum and moisturiser, even the most planet-friendly beauty lovers can count themselves satisfied.
A product? The Potion nourishing serum , formulated with a cocktail of 15 essential oils of organic origin, such as sandalwood or cedar, which soothe, nourish, protect and revitalize men's skin.
Mamita Botanical Skincare
Elisenda Monté's good experience with botanical active ingredients when she suffered a rosacea flare-up made her interested in natural cosmetics and trained in it. This led her to create Mamita Botanical in 2016, the niche brand she leads together with her partner Iris Paris. Her goal? Finding a balance between body and mind through comprehensive care .
Their line of products, with 100% natural formulas, focuses on the health and luminosity of the skin, stimulating cell regeneration and repairing tissue. All this, together with research into active ingredients suitable for sensitive skin, has led them to become one of the leading niche natural cosmetics brands in the care of this type of skin.
Active ingredients such as achiote , a seed with antioxidant properties native to the Amazon, plant stem cells, and evening primrose and pumpkin seed oils are the main ingredients in its formulas.
One product? Their multi-award-winning restorative eye cream with tuberose stem cells and prebiotics. Its ability to brighten the area and reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines is astonishing.
Alex Carro
« Creating skin care products that I hadn't been able to find »… this is what inspired Alexandra Nodes 10 years ago to create the niche natural cosmetics firm called 'Carro', like her grandmother. The firm is characterized by its commitment to research in formulation with 100% natural ingredients.
The most innovative aspect of this natural cosmetics proposal? The launch of five products – a facial oil, a cleanser, an exfoliating powder, a facial cream and a multi-use balm – that can be mixed together, under the name Simplified Beauty .
Their mixable duos are also a pleasant surprise . With all of them you can create a sort of unisex capsule wardrobe of natural cosmetics made up of their versatile multitasking products . They can be used alone or mixed with other products from the line, thus doubling their uses. A clear “less is more” that highlights the sustainability of the brand.
A product? Balancing Face Oil from their line dedicated to Simplified Beauty . After application, the skin looks luminous, healthy and balanced thanks to the complete blend of botanical oils it contains.
