Dear Matinata community,
Some stories begin with a business plan.
Ours began with people, connection, and skin.
Today, I want to share something very personal with you: after years of building Matinata with love, care, and purpose, I am passing the torch to someone I deeply trust — Natalie Boll.
This is not a goodbye to Matinata’s values. Quite the opposite. It is the continuation of everything I believed in from the very beginning.
Natalie and I crossed paths a few years ago during The Break — an EU program designed to empower women entrepreneurs from across our beautiful continent. During an unforgettable month in San Sebastián, our bond deepened through shared ideas and dreams—what a joy it was to grow together in that inspiring environment!
It was during this trip that I offered Natalie a selection of Matinata products to experience. Little did I know that this simple gesture would spark a lasting connection that would lead us here today. She was captivated by the products and truly embraced them, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey with Matinata.
She used them on her skin for the first time there, and she never really went back to anything else.
Over the years, our conversations about skin, well-being, biology, and the importance of mindful beauty have evolved. So when the moment came for Matinata to continue its journey with someone new, Natalie felt like the most natural person to carry it forward.
I can’t wait for her to share her thoughts!
To our entire community: thank you for trusting Matinata and for supporting small, conscious beauty. Your belief in the possibility of effective and kind skincare fuels our mission.
Watching Matinata continue its journey in Natalie’s hands fills me with peace, excitement, and gratitude.
This is not the end of the story.
It is a beautiful new chapter.
With all my love,
Ivanka
