If I told you there is a cosmetics brand that is environmentally friendly, organic and high quality… would you believe me? I imagine you would.
During the time I lived in Helsinki I discovered MOSSA Cosmetics and quickly became a convert. Anyone who knows me knows I love looking after my skin, and my skincare routine never slips (yes, I am one of those people with several steps). For me it was wonderful to add products to that routine that work, are affordable… and sustainable. 🌿 🍓
Good skin starts with kind ingredients (…)

The brand’s argument is that we should value our skin and the earth equally, which is why the ingredients they use are berries from the Nordic landscape, a rich source of nutrients and vitamins. They also respect our planet, and the proof is the certification the products carry: ECOCERT / Cosmos. *
Which means that products with this certificate:
- Contain a minimum of 95% organic plants and,
- Have at least 20% organic ingredients in the total formula.
So this certification allows environmentally friendly brands to sell their products worldwide, and gives us the reassurance that we are making a choice that is good for our skin and good for the planet.
My favourite product, the Vitamin Cocktail Facial Oil, reflects exactly everything I have said. It is a blend of oils that leaves the skin (mine, at least) very soft, hydrated, glowing and not remotely greasy. The fragrance is delicious too, and I love going to bed with the scent of this oil, yes, because I use it mostly at night (applied straight onto the skin or mixed into my moisturiser). But there is more… there is the detail of the packaging, which is recyclable 🌿 🌍
Do not think this is advertising… it is not. It is purely my own opinion, shared. With it I hope you start to reconsider some of your choices and, if you like cosmetics, that the tip about certification proves useful.
*ECOCERT is the largest specialist and world leader in sustainability practices, so if you go for a product carrying that “stamp”, you know you are making a more sustainable choice.
