“Dzintars” collaborates with Latvian manufacturers to create 3 new hand creams
To promote collaboration among Latvian producers, the largest cosmetics manufacturer in the Baltics, “H.A.Brieger,” has launched a new product development process for the “Dzintars” brand for the first time. This initiative involved working with four local companies, including “Balticovo,” which supplies various natural ingredients. As a result, three new “Dzintars” hand creams have been created using Latvian-sourced ingredients such as rapeseed oil, pea protein, organic honey, and egg white (albumin). The investment in developing the formulas and launching the products in the market is approximately 45,000 euros.
Three New “Dzintars” Hand Creams with Latvian-Sourced Ingredients
The new “Dzintars” hand creams offer an effective blend of nature and science, with formulas containing 97% natural ingredients. Functionally, they address all daily hand care needs – deep hydration, protection, and nourishment.
- Nourishing Hand Cream “Dzintari”
This hand cream is suitable for those needing a soothing and caring effect. The rapeseed oil prevents skin dryness and moisture loss, while the antioxidants in honey delay skin aging. The cream has a refined, honey-warm scent.
- Moisturizing Hand Cream “Kolka”
Designed with a lighter texture, the “Kolka” hand cream contains egg white (albumin) proteins and hyaluronic acid to combat dryness. It works to improve skin elasticity and smoothness, while the white flower scent adds a refreshing touch.
- Extra Nourishing Protective Cream “Dubulti”
Ideal for dry or rough skin, the “Dubulti” hand cream contains pea protein and allantoin to soften and protect the skin from environmental damage. The unique garden plant scent evokes freshness and natural vitality.
Commitment to Local Ingredients and Sustainable Collaboration
Anastasija Udalova, co-owner and CEO of “H.A.Brieger,” emphasizes: “Thanks to its historic roots and current consumer love, “Dzintars” is more than just a legendary Latvian beauty brand. I am confident that “Dzintars”, with its values, can inspire people not only to a more beautiful everyday life but also to act patriotically. That’s why it was important to me that the improved hand cream formulas use as many Latvian ingredients as possible. I am truly pleased that local producers responded to our initiative. This reinforces the belief that Latvian businesses need to collaborate even more, as this strengthens both our domestic economy and our national production identity, as well as pride in local achievements”.
Latvian-Sourced Ingredients for a Healthier, Greener Future
All three new “Dzintars” hand creams contain barley flour sourced from the “Kaņepītes” farm (Kocēni Parish, Valmiera District). The honey, a key ingredient in the “Dzintari” cream, is supplied by the beekeeping shop SIA “Deiva” (Stopiņi District) in cooperation with local beekeepers. The pea extract used in the “Dubulti” hand cream comes from “Ekstraktu rūpnīca L.Ē.V.” (Nākotne, Glūda Parish). Finally, the egg whites used in the “Kolka” cream are provided by “Balticovo.”
Toms Auškāps, Communications and Development Director at A/S “Balticovo,” reveals: “For many of us, an egg is traditionally just an egg. However, thanks to its valuable composition, it’s a unique product that can be much more than just a breakfast item. A/S “Balticovo”, as an ambassador of eggs in Latvia, always emphasizes the versatility of eggs and has proven many times that eggs can create wonderful products, such as ice cream or egg noodles. However, the power of eggs doesn’t stop at the dining table – their use can be broader. That’s why “Balticovo” was delighted to join in the development of the new “Dzintars” hand cream. This was a challenge for us, as it’s the first time our egg products, specifically albumin, are part of a new cosmetic. However, it aligns perfectly with our philosophy of educating the public about the health benefits and versatility of eggs. We’re especially proud that the egg whites used for the hand cream come from cage-free hens, living in conditions closer to their natural environment. So, the albumin in the cream is from happier hens! We also hope that people who use the new “Dzintars” cream will be happier, as the egg protein, albumin, is rich in amino acids that promote cell regeneration, helping retain moisture and prevent dryness.”
Availability of New “Dzintars” Hand Creams
The improved “Dzintars” hand creams are already available on the “Dzintars” online store at www.dzintars.lv, as well as in Douglas stores. Soon, they will also be available at Drogas and Maxima.
