Our story.
High-performance organic skincare
A loyal customer. A promise to keep.
“For three years, Matinata was the skincare I kept coming back to. When I became its owner, my promise was simple: keep the formulas true.”
Created with purpose
Matinata began with Ivanka Ćosić-Prižmić’s belief that you should never have to choose between organic ingredients, visible results and skincare that feels beautiful to use.
Developed in Croatia over two years, in scientific partnership with Prof. Dr. Nina Kočevar Glavač of the University of Ljubljana, her formulas brought together certified organic botanicals, actives at effective concentrations and luxurious textures.
Every ingredient had a purpose. Every formula was made to be loved.
Loved enough to carry it forward
Natalie met Ivanka at a women’s entrepreneurship programme in Spain. She tried Matinata and loved how her skin felt: soft, calm and balanced. For the next three years, she was simply a loyal customer.
An organic gardener with a deep love of plants, Natalie recognised the care behind the formulas. In her forties, she also wanted something personal: healthy, luminous skin and a daily ritual she enjoyed, without the pressure to keep changing herself.
When Ivanka was ready to entrust Matinata to someone new, Natalie wanted to protect the products she had come to love. In May 2026, she became its owner, carrying forward Ivanka’s work with a simple promise: to keep the formulas true.
The care continues
Today, Matinata’s six formulas are crafted in small batches and housed in protective violet glass. Each can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a complete ritual.
Certified organic by ECOGEA — organic integrity at the heart of our formulas.
Certified CosmEthically ACTIVE — active ingredients at effective concentrations, not simply a name on the label.
From the first cleanse to the final touch of nourishment, Matinata brings together botanical care, cosmetic science and the pleasure of taking a moment for yourself.
