Three sustainable firms made in Spain that make their products with powerful natural anti-aging ingredients

We are increasingly aware of the damage that human activity does to the planet and that, either we do something, or that damage will be irreversible. For this reason, more and more companies concerned about the environment are emerging that offer natural cosmetic products and Spanish brands were not going to be left behind in this revolution. The problem, at the user level, is that we have always thought that natural ingredients could not be as powerful as those made in a laboratory, but we can now start to get that idea out of our heads. We have selected for you three Spanish firms that have developed powerful skin care products from 100% natural and, of course, sustainable ingredients. Put them on your radar, because you will love them:

Natana, born in Barcelona in 2021, makes her way into the Conscious Beauty movement through the creation of conscious, natural, vegan and effective cosmetics.

Natana's commitment is twofold, both with her clients and consumers and with society. Since its inception, the brand has shown its willingness to use natural active ingredients in its products obtained by circular economy (upcycling). "We are mainly targeting those people who, although they increasingly demand natural, sustainable cosmetics with social values, at the same time time they also claim that it is effective, since natural cosmetics alone are not effective enough for skin care," says Laura Berzal, co-founder of the company.

Natana creates quality and effective products without sacrificing maximum naturalness in cosmetics. «Unfortunately, natural cosmetics by themselves did not give me the efficacy I was looking for, so we have formulated our own products, with a high naturalness and quality of its assets so that they provide this effectiveness on the skin from the beginning and our products go from 93% to 99%”, Laura highlights.

Visibly firms the skin, deeply hydrates, brightens and tones the tone, minimizes wrinkles and expression lines and improves the skin's natural exfoliation process. All this thanks to the hyaluronic acid, vitamin B3 and the natural AHAS that it contains in its formula (40.37 euros).

Organic powder cleanser that cleans gently, but also deeply while removing make-up, balancing, calming and treating the skin. Its powder format when mixed with water transforms into a soft foam that you should use to work the skin well. Formulated with a complex of prebiotics and postbiotics of plant origin that balance the microbiotics of the skin without eliminating the healthy bacteria that contribute to excellent skin (22.32 euros).

The products of La Albufera are handcrafted in all its phases using rice from the Albufera National Park (Valencia), from which its name comes.

They are endorsed with the Nature, Bio Inspecta and Bio Vida Sana seals that certify that the 100% natural properties have been preserved in the preparation and packaging of the product. To produce a single container of product, 50 kg of rice is used, which is cold-pressed by hand to keep all its properties intact.

All its products are made from rice germ with powerful anti-aging active ingredients such as vitamin E, Omega 3 and Omega 6, Coenzyme Q10, Carotene and Beta-carotene, Phytosterols and Vitamin B.

La Albufera face cream with rosehip moisturizes and nourishes the skin, providing luminosity and leaving a soft and velvety texture. The combination of natural active principles of rice germ oil and rosehip oil regulate the elasticity of the skin and restore hydration. Revitalizes the cells of the deepest layers, which are the producers of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin (15.90 euros).

Rice germ oil is a dry oil that is extracted by hand from the germ of rice grown in the Albufera Natural Park (Valencia). The stem cells of the plant organism are found in the rice germ, with the highest proportion of nutrients, which are extracted by first cold pressing, to preserve all their properties intact. It contains very powerful active ingredients that are very useful for repairing and regenerating the skin from the inside out. It is of 100% natural origin and does not contain any other chemical additives (19.90 euros).

NAOBAY was born to Javier and Cristina, entrepreneurial brothers from Valencia. With a definite ecological conscience and tired of organic cosmetics with ordinary designs and misleading labels, they decided to create NAOBAY in 2011, their own brand and their own approach to what organic cosmetic products should be. They agree to name it NAOBAY, which stands for "Natural And Organic, Beauty And You" and thus make it clear that what is natural and ecological is not at odds with beauty and health.

They only use natural ingredients and oils of plant origin that allow the skin to fully breathe and manage to transmit the powerful benefits of their properties.

All its products are biodegradable and the packaging is recyclable and/or comes from recycled material.

Eye contour in roll-on format with Hyaluronic Acid combined with a Calcium complex to reactivate your skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid and elastin. The steel ball of the applicator transmits a sensation of freshness around the eye, activating micro-circulation for better absorption of the active ingredients. Contains orange floral water that provides softness and freshness; Raspberry and Grape extracts that give it very remarkable antioxidant and free radical neutralizing properties; and Oat extract, which acts as a tensor, reducing expression lines.

This mask is formulated with diatomaceous earth, which is a mineral powder made from the fossilized remains of a unicellular algae. Its main action is to absorb oil from the skin, in addition to exfoliating the skin while you massage it. The incorporation of rice starch concentrate helps eliminate unwanted shine by absorbing excessive fat. Tigernut oil, rich in omega 6, omega 9 and vitamin E, acts as a powerful antioxidant. Pumpkin oil regulates skin hydration. Contains orange floral water that provides softness and freshness; Raspberry, Apple, Lemon and Grape extract, which maintain skin hydration by providing antioxidant properties.
