This is more a story of entrepreneurship allied to health and to respect for nature. Alexandra Pavlova, 23 years, it is natural of Bulgaria and studied management in Switzerland and in France. Currently living in Portugal â€" and it was precisely in Lisbon earlier this year, I decided to create the Naturessima, online shop for 100% natural organic cosmetics.

Alexandra long opted for organic cosmetics, once the conventional never helped her overcome certain problems â€" such as dry skin and irritated around the eyes or after bathing and beach. "Common problems, can I say", stresses the young.

"Over time, I started reading and find out more about the ingredients found in cosmetics, and I didn't like them â€" are toxic to us and to the environment," explained Alexandra Green Savers. "Unfortunately there are many brands that claim to be natural but that are not, use dangerous ingredients that harm your health."

In his quest, Alexandra found some truly natural marks, but use them if not revealed exactly practical: always had of the order of other countries, subjecting themselves to the waiting time and the high cost of shipping. However, it was exactly this embarrassment that served as the impetus for the creation of an area where the Portuguese could find organic cosmetics at affordable prices-according to her, "the first 100% natural cosmetics shop in Portugal".

Beauty comes directly from nature â€" this is the motto that Alexandra joins to your project. And that's how, far from any kind of chemicals, the Naturessima offers face care products and body covering cleaning, hydration, exfoliation, mask, and bath oils.

Most products are made of fruits, herbs, flowers and vegetables. All the raw materials come from fair trade, meaning they are bought by the real value for them, which helps to ensure the survival and improvement of life of vulnerable communities around the world. "Each product is handmade from start to finish, from individual ingredients, by real people," says Alexandra.

At this point, the store works with brands, Akamuti and Trevarno Kivvi, but the range can increase. "We are always looking for new brands and partnerships that produce 100% natural cosmetics," explains young. The entire offer is available in the online store, as in the spa Naturalis, in Maia.

Alexandra plans to organize workshops and events in the near future, such as open a physical space where people can try the products of Naturessima. On view will be the promotion of natural and healthy alternatives, such as warning of the dangers of conventional cosmetic.
