About
Gressa story starts with our Founder, Svetlana
For the love of medicine and healing, Svetlana embarked on an alchemical journey to revive past wisdoms and conjure natural skin healing remedies. While still in college, Svetlana launched Gressa Skin which quickly found itself with a cult-following for its unique formulations that are “skin first” and “natural food for the skin.”With the launch of the Minimalist, a corrective serum foundation designed to heal with natural oils and conceal with beautiful mineral colors, Gressa Skin started a revolution in the Green Beauty industry. The Minimalist was a first of its kind and continues to be Gressa’s hero product that stands alone in the category it created. Finally, a color foundation that treated and healed your skin rather than irritating it! Using Mother Nature’s most beautiful and freshest ingredients in intelligent ways to design highly effective, elegant and artful skincare/cosmetic formulas. Today, Gressa is a world-leader in luxury skincare & cosmetic products, but more importantly, it stands as a beacon of hope for women gathering the courage to age with grace, honesty and wisdom.
Using Nature to deliver Superior Performance
After a decade of research I found the perfect natural alternative for synthetic silicones. This oil was unknown in the beauty industry. In fact, I found it from a cold pressed oil supplier that was selling it as a byproduct of broccoli seed pulp production. It was the most important discovery for Gressa as we were the first brand to utilize the botanical mystery of broccoli seed oil.
Once I got my hands on this vibrant, green-hued oil that smelled delicately of earth - I fell in love.
We crafted the Gressa Healing Complex with the elegant properties of Broccoli Seed Oil in mind, and delivered a truly pure formula, free of synthetic preservatives or filler ingredients, launching a revolution in the beauty industry as the first foundation to be “skin first.” Making the Minimalist corrective serum foundation a “first-of-its-kind,” a complexion product that performs equally as skincare & makeup.
The broccoli seed oil is what gives The Minimalist Foundation and other pigments the incomparable skin-like finish of radiance and glow. We’ve since incorporated this powerhouse ingredient into the Siberian Pineapple Pressed Serum, making it another one-of-a-kind skin treat and a skincare bestseller.
Using broccoli seed oil as the first ingredient, undiluted, means every bottle is packed with botanical forms of skin regenerative vitamins like Vitamin C (UV protective antioxidant) and Vitamin A (nature’s retinol). Natural sources of these ingredients are gentler, milder and don’t have the side-effects of isolated synthetics. Nature provides us with all the tools, if given enough time. At the crossroads of beauty we invite you to choose the path less traveled: a slow approach where time and beauty is on your side.
Welcome to the world where Beauty Takes Time. The world of Gressa.
