Skin I Feel Best In® is more than a promise on a bottle. It is the standard every Matinata formula is measured against — here is what it means, and what we believe.
Skin I Feel Best In®
We want women — and everyone — to feel confident in their skin. Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and like every organ it needs nutrition. That is how we look at skincare: as skin nutrition, not a superficial quick fix.
We believe that over time, with the right nutrition, your skin can become healthy and balanced. A balanced microbiome, the right nutrients, and formulas the skin recognises as care — that is what healthy, calm, resilient skin is built on.
That feeling — skin you feel best in — is the mission behind everything we make.
Our approach
A complete ritual
If each formula is multi-beneficial and the ritual is complete, every step earns its place.
Small-batch craft
Made slowly at a certified organic facility, with attention to freshness, texture, aroma, and skin feel. Stewarded from Mainz.
Protective packaging
Light-filtering violet glass that helps protect botanical oils, hydrosols, and actives.
Care with intention
Vegan friendly, cruelty-conscious choices — for women who want organic they can trust and results they can feel.
Our certifications
ECOGEA Organic
Independent organic certification for cosmetics with clear rules for natural and organically farmed ingredients, and transparency on every label. Organic integrity you can read, not only a logo to trust at a glance.

CosmEthically ACTIVE
An independent certification for natural cosmetics confirming that the active ingredients are present at effective levels, not just listed on the label.
CosmEthically ACTIVE approved. Every Matinata formula is independently assessed against five principles:
- 01Nature first when choosing ingredients
- 02Actives used at concentrations that do real work on skin
- 03Only what's needed, with nothing added for show
- 04Kind to skin, formulated for high skin compatibility
- 05Ethical from start to finish, with no animal testing
Every Matinata formula is free from mineral oils, silicones, PEGs, parabens and synthetic fragrance, and is vegan friendly.
ECOGEA speaks to organic integrity. CosmEthically ACTIVE speaks to active performance. Side by side: certified organic skincare that is also intentionally potent — prestige care with proof you can explain.
Nature
We work with botanicals of known origin — cold-pressed plant oils, hydrosols and extracts, chosen for what they do and kept as close to nature as possible. Matinata is named for Mother Nature: mati, mother, and nata, nature. The natural world is not our marketing; it is our raw material.
Partnerships
We choose our partners the way we choose our ingredients: carefully. That means growers and suppliers who share our standards, a certified organic facility for production, and scientific guidance from Prof. Dr. Nina Kočevar Glavač of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Ljubljana, who helped develop our formulas.
Research
Our ingredient choices are grounded in science, not trends. Modern Cosmetics — Ingredients of Natural Origin, a scientific view, co-edited by Prof. Dr. Nina Kočevar Glavač, the scientist who helped develop our formulas — is the reference work behind every botanical we use.
Discover Modern CosmeticsSustainability & packaging
We produce in small batches, so nothing is made in excess, and we fill every formula into protective MIRON violet glass that helps shield the botanicals from light. Made in the EU, with packaging chosen to protect what is inside rather than to impress from the shelf.
Confidence in your skin, nutrition instead of quick fixes, organic integrity, actives that work, and respect for nature — that is Matinata.
