Natura Siberica
When using the phrase "excellent" Russian cosmetics", the first thing that comes to mind is Natura Siberica. And, by the way, quite rightly. In addition to impressive ratings and international awards, including victory in the category "Best face care product" (" Best Product facial care") at the Beauty Challenger Awards in Paris, the brand boasts social responsibility, which is especially appreciated by consumers.

Berezka Lab
It’s easy to assume that the brand with the dear name “Beryozka” refers to Russian cosmetics.

All Berezka Lab brand products are made from 100% natural ingredients and do not contain parabens, propylene and polyethylene glycols, petrochemicals, phenoxyethanol and other synthetic fillers. And although the selection of products (yet!) is not as wide as that of other brands, complete care for the face and body - as well as laconic accessories in the form of a bowl and a brush for applying masks - are provided to you.What to buy: Cleansing Oil facial cleansing oil, Green Masque mask for problem skin, Night Serum antioxidant serum.

Makosh is the goddess of Slavic mythology and the only female deity whose idol stood in the Kiev sanctuary erected by Prince Vladimir. And "Makosh" is a family workshop natural cosmetics, founded in 2013. “More natural than natural” - this is how we could describe the brand’s products if we did it. The founders of “Makosh” say a little differently: “At first we made creams for our mothers, delighted friends and loved ones with all sorts of things. It soon became obvious that we could bring joy and benefit to a much wider circle good people. For example, you."

By the way, in 2013, “Arcadia” became the winner of the “My Cosmetics” National Award in the “Alliance of Beauty and Science” nomination (for UpGrade 40+ cream). However, in the brand’s line you can find many equally worthy products that promote self-healing and self-regulation of the skin as the main principle of Arcadia.What to buy: tonic for normal and sensitive skin Prime, T-Mate serum, LymiWhite face mask.
Iffecta
Iffecta is not exactly a brand, if we take this word in the usual sense. More like a “one-cream brand” that grew out of a group discussing new trends in cosmetics and care on Facebook. Creator of Iffecta, beautiful girl Katya, like many of the heroines in our selection, once wanted to create a facial skin care product that would suit her in all respects. “Over 19 years of work and study in the cosmetics industry, I have accumulated a decent amount of knowledge, tested in practice.

The formulas of care products are based on medicinal herbs Baikal and Gorny Altai.

And they do their job so well that limitations in terms of formats do not in any way affect the final result.What to buy: hand sanitizer, soap for problem skin of the face and body, foam for daily washing and makeup removal.

The result is a cosmetic brand PUDRA, inspired by many years of experience in the industry with special attention to the formulas and production of each new product. On this moment The collection consists of weightless powders and brushes that allow you to apply makeup like professional makeup artist. But this, something tells us, is just the beginning.

Over the past couple of years, salons and barbershops, small shops like Bling-Blings, and simply active craftsmen have started producing their own shampoos and masks. The Village selected ten Russian beauty brands that are not inferior to Western ones, and at the same time asked bloggers, makeup artists, hairdressers and other beauty experts about their favorite cosmetics from Russia.
Honey Bunny
Soon after the launch of the Bling-Blings website (with the city’s first selection of round Eos balms, Tangle Teezer colored combs, Marvis toothpastes and Zoya harmless nail polishes), Konstantin Osintsev and Maria Timoshenko began to think about creating their own beauty brand. In February of this year, the first Honey Bunny shampoos and hair conditioners appeared. Example good quality the founders consider brands such as Italian Davines, American Malin + Goetz and Clark's Botanicals, Swedish Sachajuan, and when producing their own cosmetics they try to adhere to the same principles: simple and effective formulas, a balance between natural and synthetic components and compatibility with products from other brands Soon, to the shampoos (700 rubles) and conditioners (700 rubles), shower gels with a pleasant citrus aroma (500 rubles) and facial wash with fruit acids.

thousand rubles), shampoos (the same thousand rubles), conditioners (1,100 rubles) and sets of several products are produced in Moscow, and are sold and used in all barbershops of the network (including those outside the capital).

A biochemist by training, Geletsyan himself is responsible for the composition of cosmetics, combining natural oils and essences. Today the series includes cream shampoo with tangerine and cinnamon and body and hair oil with peony and bergamot. Both products do not contain artificial fragrances, parabens, silicones (and therefore have quite short term suitability) and are developed in domestic production. The packaging of 22|11 Cosmetics also reflects the brand's commitment to all things natural (hence the minimalist design, reminiscent of paint tubes, and the sleek color scheme) and is made of recyclable aluminum. Like production, packaging of 22|11 Cosmetics products is carried out in Russia. Cosmetics are sold in both 22|11 salons and on the Pudra website. Cost of the product: 1,100 rubles for shampoo and 2,500 rubles for oil.

Man & Beard
Exclusively male cosmetic brands not so many, and the Russian ones can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Brutal men from Moscow produce no less brutal products for themselves: soap and beard balm (500 and 800 rubles, respectively), beard oil (700 rubles), black soap for the body and hands, and Gift Baskets with all the cosmetics at once (2 thousand rubles per box) - all in craft wrapping and tin cans with black labels.

Evolut
The lively Evolut brand appeared in May 2015 and is already sold in the Bling-Blings store and on the Lambada Market website. All brand products contain silver nanoparticles (about which you can read a whole treatise on the official website) and have antibacterial properties. According to the founders of Evolut, nanoparticles can destroy 650 thousand types of pathogens, and the antibacterial effect lasts on the skin for eight hours. The brand's most impressive creation is a faceted orange-colored hand soap that resembles a hefty piece of amber. In addition to this, Evolut has a foam for washing and a cleansing foam for hands, and in the near future there will also be household chemicals: fabric softener, detergent and antibacterial spray. Prices are below average: from 290 rubles for a 50-ml bottle of foam. Most of all, Evolut resembles the New Zealand brand Cor Silver, which was the first to patent a similar formula with silver nanoparticles in combination with silicon dioxide, but in this case the imitation of such an advanced brand is rather admirable.
What to pay attention to: antibacterial soap in a faceted bar
"Mylovarov"
Natural cosmetic handmade "Soapmakers" - the closest analogue of the British Lush. The brand's collection of body products includes a dozen variations of bath bombs, balls and “desserts” without preservatives and artificial colors: things are generally useless, but pleasant and cute. Another specialization of “Mylovarova” is oils, massage tiles and body scrubs. Despite the stupid packaging that only yours will like younger sister, cosmetics definitely deserve attention: here are the simplest formulations (for example, lip balm is a combination of shea butter, avocado, jojoba, sea buckthorn oil, beeswax, honey and nothing else), and absolutely crazy names and more than modest prices. “Bubbling muffin” costs 100 rubles, bath salt - 200 rubles, massage oil - 370 rubles, and the most expensive chocolate body mask (390 rubles).

Irina is engaged in production together with a team of specialists; Moreover, the brand’s products do not contain components of animal origin, and the compositions are dominated by natural ingredients. Irushka's arsenal includes shampoos and hair conditioners, a line for oily and dehydrated facial skin, and serious restorative products. Prices start from 1,500 rubles for shampoos and reach 3,500 rubles for a transformative mask (SOS restoration of dehydrated and dull skin): it is worth noting that for cosmeceuticals such prices are considered rather low.
What to pay attention to: cleansing milk for all skin types, revitalizing mask for dehydrated and dull skin
Birdie
The female incarnation of Chop-Chop, the Birdie hair salon chain, also could not do without its own line of cosmetics. Now you can safely go to the salon not only for an easy-to-style and neat haircut or an excellent manicure, but also for shampoo, conditioner and hair mask. All funds are intended for residents big city who have to deal with bad environmental conditions every day, and are suitable for any hair type. According to Birdie co-owner Ksenia Tumanova, the most important task was maintaining a balance between chemical components and natural ingredients: thanks to this, the shampoo gently cleanses, the conditioner nourishes the hair (it is recommended to apply it only to the ends), and the mask thickens the hair and makes it healthier. You can test and buy Birdie cosmetics at all hairdressing salons in the chain, as well as at the Bobo boxing club. Prices for products vary from a thousand rubles for shampoo and conditioner to 1,300 rubles for a mask.

You Need It
The lively online store You Need It, which was one of the first to start selling Embryolisse creams, Lucas Papaw balms and Clark's Botanicals masks in Moscow, also had its own line of cosmetics this fall. According to the site owner Anya Leushina, it all started with a survey in Instagram, where everyone could tell what beauty products they were missing. Based on the answers, a series of face and body skin care products was developed: yogurt soap with oatmeal, bubble gum scented soap, coconut body scrub and bath teas ( bags of two types with a collection of medicinal herbs in bags). With natural compositions, the cost of the products remains quite adequate - no more than 790 rubles. A little later they will appear coffee scrubs, which will be produced in collaboration with the Good Enough coffee shop (Katya Karpova from Pure Love will help with this), and several more new products. You Need It cosmetics will be sold not only online, but also in Moscow stores.

founder of Pure Love
Since Pure Love cosmetics were created according to my own ideas and desires, I use only my own creams and hair products. But here toothpaste Although we worked it out, we never launched it. Of the Russian ones, I like Splat. Not all recipes work for me, but there are three or four with excellent compositions.

I can’t imagine life (and work) without Vaseline and chlorhexidine. I often replace cream with Vaseline on particularly sensitive areas of the face and body, and in my work I often use it to moisturize the skin and create various special effects (for example, I mix it with pigments). Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic, Russian analogue French "Miramistin", but costs 100 times less. Also an essential item. I use it for any irritation, allergies, skin damage, and even for mucous membranes (at the first symptoms of a sore throat, for example). I also like Natura Siberica: there have been no disappointments so far. I really love the Golden Berries body peeling for radiant skin. It smells fantastic of sea buckthorn and hydrates the skin for a long time. Another favorite is Thick Siberian White Body Butter. An excellent winter product. It nourishes well, is quickly absorbed and does not leave a sticky feeling.

Since I am a person with the maximum problem skin, any acquaintance with a brand of skincare cosmetics turns into a test for me and the brand itself. Something that could theoretically clog pores, dry out skin, or cause any other possible problems, certainly does all this on my skin. Therefore, when it comes to Russian brands, I choose Pure Love. This brand is created by my great friend, consultant and colleague Katerina Karpova, a person who has not only a reverent but also a professional attitude towards everything she does. She has a degree in chemistry and an endless passion for creating products that actually work. It is important to mention that Pure Love create products based on the principle of corneotherapy and without the addition of preservatives, sulfates and parabens, so for problematic clients like me, this is a real salvation.

Nevskaya Cosmetics tar soap was recommended to me by my dermatologist four years ago. I tried to buy this soap from other brands - it was not the same. I use it every evening with a muslin cloth after removing makeup with hydrophilic oil. I got used to the smell a long time ago, but at first it was not very easy. First of all, pores become clogged from insufficient cleansing, and with tar soap this problem is going away. If you have oily or combination skin and have an extra 14 rubles, take a closer look at him at Auchan. For a long time I have with me a cream mask with fruit acids from the “Cora” brand. It brightens up blackheads well. Exfoliates delicately. The main thing is not to overexpose, otherwise you may get a dry crust or minor irritation.
In general, Russian cosmetics do not cause me much delight. If I ever have to switch only to it, my face and hair will simply run away from me.

Russia is generally not an obvious country for the prosperity of cosmetic production, however, we have interesting brands and cool products.
For example, I really like the MitoVitan antioxidant serum with the SkQ1 molecule, developed at Moscow State University
M. V. Lomonosov. I use this product with great pleasure: it has a super comfortable texture that is not felt on the skin at all and goes well with subsequent care products. What I especially like is that unlike vitamin C or other antioxidants, the use of this serum does not cause photosensitivity or skin irritation. Of course, it’s not as expensive as “The Secrets of Grandma Agafya,” but a foreign analogue would definitely be more expensive.
And, for example, Pine Aqua came up with a new energy-saving method for producing pine hydrosol, on the basis of which they make all their cosmetics. I like subtle aromas and almost completely natural compositions. Also, for a small brand, Pine Aqua has a relatively stylish presentation, which is definitely pleasing: terrifying design is the main scourge of domestic cosmetics.
About a year ago I discovered another small Russian brand, Dream Minerals, which ultimately turned out to be an ideal replacement for foreign brands of mineral cosmetics, which had sharply increased in price with a currency jump. In addition to traditional crumbly foundations, blush and other decorations, the brand has a variety of caring powders: bamboo, rice, silk and even a special night powder, which is applied right before bed. I especially recommend the latter to those with oily skin prone to inflammation.

If we talk about skincare cosmetics, then their variety is great, which is good news. I'm using it now sea buckthorn oil for face and hair Natura Siberica: I really like it, absorbs quickly, moisturizes well. I still love them gentle peeling for the face - my skin is dry, but I can use this product every day. I liked the Black Pearl bio-oil cleanser: it removes waterproof makeup well and doesn’t require a lot of moisturizing afterward. I just love the “Clean Line” apricot kernel scrub. From time to time I buy something from Planeta Organica and Organic Shop: they have a lot of good quality products with pleasant fragrances, a kind of girly pampering to lift your spirits.

Of the Russian brands I use Librederm: foam for washing, body cream and hand cream, “Panthenol”. This is a simple non-allergic brand with vitamins, sold in pharmacies. I met her when I got burned in a solarium. Very soft and gentle products saved me when I couldn’t even touch my skin. I also like organic cosmetics from EC Lab. They have good scrub, cream, bath salt and scrub soap.
If someone tells you that everything is bad with Russian cosmetics and nothing worthy is appearing, don’t believe it. Below are ten proofs that complete order reigns in the domestic beauty industry.
"Alpika"
Moisturizing face cream “Hyaluron+”, “Bioenzyme peeling”, “Meso-cocktail for the eye area”, all “Alpika”.
The brand from Stavropol has been producing natural, yet high-tech creams since 1991. The formulas are based on extracts of herbs from alpine meadows (hence the name) and the development of the brand founder, Professor L.M. Kuzyakova - alposomes, allowing components to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. Currently there are 20 lines in the range, including multi-acid peels and peptide therapy. Bestsellers - eye gel with coenzyme Q10 and anti-aging cream"Vita-Lifting" In addition to cosmetics, they produce herbal teas.
"Kamali"
Cooling foot cream Chocolate Ice Cream, Stretch Mark Cream, Watermelon body scrub, Strawberry Delight lip balm, all Kamali.
Friends from Kazan Kamilla Yunusova and Alina Khusnutdinova three years ago founded a brand called “Kamali”, which means “perfection” in Arabic. All hair and skin products are not just natural, but strictly of plant origin (80% of products are vegan), without silicones, mineral oils and animal fats. Cosmetics should be stored in a cool place and used within 6 months. Our picks are the Strawberry Delight lip balm and body scrub.
"Mi & Co"
Rose soap, Lemon dishwashing liquid, aromatic sachet“Lavender”, “Calendula” tooth powder, all “Mi & Co”.
The main idea of the brand by Ekaterina Matantseva from Kirov is an eco-friendly approach: “The products are produced without adding what is commonly called “chemicals”, do not pollute the environment, and the waste after use decomposes within 24 hours.” The list of items is impressive: hand, foot, face and body creams, scrubs, shampoos, lip balms, bath bombs, aroma candles. Plus eco-friendly laundry, cleaning and dishwashing products, as well as lavender mosquito repellent spray.
"Slavic couture"
"Cream from pansies with ginger elixir for body correction and relieving leg fatigue”, “Meadowsweet catalyst for figure correction programs”, “Sculpting body oil”, all “Slavic couture”.
The contents of white bottles with floral patterns are real “green” cosmetics, the ingredients of which are: pansy and meadowsweet extract, crushed cherry pits, oil, clover complex, cranberry juice. Professional brand Muscovite Alexander Khromchenko is only a year old, but her modeling and anti-cellulite products can already be tried at the Terma spa center (Moscow), the British Banya spa complex and Om House in Krasnaya Polyana (Sochi).
AnsaLigy
“Regenerating silk serum”, “Day matting cream”, “Washing gel”, all AnsaLigy.
The founders of the brand, which appeared a month ago, Linda Guseva and Anastasia Savchenkova worked in the restaurant, fitness and spa business. But one day, after returning from an anti-aging congress in Monaco, we decided to “collect all the best and put it in a cosmetic jar.” The name is the first letters of their first and last names. Rejuvenating formulas with peptides, vitamins A, B, C, E, matrixyl and shea butter were developed in the Emanci laboratory. The face of the brand is Tina Kandelaki. Price range: from 1100 rub. for shower gel up to 3200 rub. for silk serum.
Honey Bunny
“Citrus Shampoo with Vitamin B5”, “Shower Gel with Vitamin B5 and Protein”, “Hand Cream with Vitamin E”, “Fruit Acid Wash”, all Honey Bunny.
You will recognize the products of the brand of Muscovites Maria Timoshenko and Konstantin Osintsev by their minimalistic packaging, honest working qualities and not the most high prices: shower gel with vitamin B5 and protein 500 rub., cleanser with fruit acids 750 rub., body cream 950 rub., shampoos and conditioners 700 rub. Honey Bunny has 9 products in total, but there will be more on the way. Production is local, at one of the enterprises near Moscow, so there are no plans to increase the cost.
Irushka
Sebo Control cleansing gel, NMF restoring mask, Archi Tech restoring hair emulsion, all Irushka.
Having worked as a beauty editor and then as a cosmetologist, the author of the brand, Irina Nikolaeva, realized that Russian cosmetics do not have the best reputation. This is how Irushka emulsions, masks, shampoos appeared - competitive with European ones, with light textures and natural composition. “My name was inspired by the German model and actress Veruschka; at one time she made a breakthrough in the fashion world, turning filming into an art. My brand is also a breakthrough - the first affordable luxury brand.” Bestsellers - SOS mask for dry skin and Archi Tech restoring hair emulsion.
Jurassic Spa
“Nourishing body cream”, “Soapy shower cream”, Co-Wash System cleansing hair conditioner, “ Mud mask for the face", all Jurassic Spa.
