Are you by chance looking for an effective beauty antidote to the urban stress you unfortunately, like most of us, have to deal with every single day? What would you think of the idea of embracing the balanced and slow Adriatic way of life and following your Fjaka, your Croatian bliss. Starting by living in the now and loving the feeling, doing finally what you love and taking seriously care of yourself. Because you deserve it. It is exactly what Sanela Lazic, Yugoslavia-born and British by adoption, female entrepreneur and Founder of SAINT IRIS, a London-based premium, sustainable and universal skincare brand with a sunshine soul, did cause of a professional burnout after spending a decade working with beauty brands and retailers. To heal, she went back to her homeland. A special place in her heart that, as a child, she and her family had to leave on the last military flight as the tragic civil war erupted. Reconnecting with her beloved roots was a true blessing. It marked the beginning of a new happier and healthier life. As well as the start of a new exciting entrepreneurial journey. " Stressors stopped me having a healthy relationship with my wellness - mind, body and skin. Choosing my health was a huge confidence boost to stop a negative lifestyle cycle as well as an opportunity to seize the day. I went back to my Croatian and Adriatic roots, where we believe that the body is a powerhouse that keeps us grounded and strong, and once we take care of ourselves we are able to give back to the world and take care of each other. We call that Fjaka (fyaakka). Fjaka is wonderful as it’s personal, and essentially it’s about giving in to your feel-good." she tells. SAINT IRIS, whose name is inspired by the Sweet Iris of Dalmatia, traditionally offered to goddesses and saints for protecting spice cargoes en route from East to West via Adriatic ports, is a perfect tribute to her happy British life and the Croatian and Yugoslavian heritage she inherited and is so proud of. The brand, renowned for its energising natural formulas for face and body and inspired by the abundant plants, remedies and sea spas of the sun-drenched Adriatic, was especially created by Sanela for active and time-stressed people with a passion for skin wellness. All the get-up-and-glow range of products, which are made in small batches with a Soil Association accredited manufacturer in the UK, contain Flower of Salt, hand-harvested from Dalmatian Sea Salt basins that delivers over 75 essential minerals including magnesium and aids good quality sleep. At SAINT IRIS, all ingredients are 100% sustainable (from bio-fermentation, seaweed proteins to peptide actives, hand-harvested and algae-rich 80+ minerals and copper, precious botanical oils and plant by-products of the organic food and juicing production sources. They also are cruelty-free and proudly carry the Cruelty Free International’s Leaping Bunny logo, have a 100% natural fragrance and are free from parabens, mineral oils, silicones, sulphates and propylene glycol. SAINT IRIS is an award-winning skincare brand. The latter is now available at the Parisian AWESOME Green & Clean beauty, located in 49, rue Saint-Georges in the ninth Arrondissement.
