To those who love real botanical skincare & color

We craft for you

We are on a mission to change the concept of beauty. After 15 years of innovation in this industry, ‘clean’ has become a hollowed trend. It is a concept that's integrity has faded away. With the introduction of technology and advanced skincare, the ‘clean’ lines have blurred and this trend is merging into what is known as conventional beauty - where beauty standards are set by celebrities and outside influences. Gressa has carved its own place in the beauty industry timeline - we are a movement without compromise, a quiet whisper back in time, and a beacon to individuality in beauty through mind, body and spirit.

The Discovery of Broccoli Seed Oil

In 2009 I stumbled upon a super oil. It was unknown in the beauty industry.
In fact, I found it from a cold pressed oil supplier that was selling it as a byproduct of broccoli seed pulp production. It was the most important discovery for Gressa as we were the first brand to utilize the botanical mystery of broccoli seed oil.
Once I got my hands on this vibrant, yellowish-green hued oil that smelled of cabbage, I fell in love.
The Minimalist was complete. We used the broccoli seed oil to cold press the precious extracts of the Gressa Healing Complex, that is present in all of the Minimalist line as a serum base, a true skincare before makeup.
The broccoli seed oil is what gives The Minimalist Foundation and other pigments the incomparable skin-like finish of radiance and glow. We've since incorporated this powerhouse ingredient into the Siberian
Pineapple Pressed Serum, making it another one-of-a-kind skin treat and our skincare bestseller.
We use broccoli seed oil as the first ingredient, undiluted, which means,
every bottle is packed with botanical forms of skin regenerative ingredients like Vitamin C (UV protective antioxidant) and Vitamin A (nature's retinol).
Natural sources of these ingredients are gentler, milder and don't have the side-effects of isolated synthetics. Nature provides us with all the tools, if given enough time. At the crossroads of beauty we invite you to choose the path less traveled: a slow approach where time and beauty is on your side.
Welcome to the world where Beauty Takes Time. The world of Gressa. - With Love, Svetlana

The Magic Of Broccoli

IT'S ALL ABOUT CHEMISTRY
Why we don't use silicones
We avoid silicones in our range because nature gives us far better
options for occlusive, transepidermal-friendly ingredients that perform
more beautifully as emollients, are biocompatible with our skin
chemistry and are entirely biodegradable hence, truly environmentally
conscious and sustainable. Our commitment and uncompromising
integrity when it comes to botanical ingredients always surpass
modern cosmetic formulating conveniences and quick fixes.
What are the main constituents of broccoli seed oil?
Erucic acid - 35% - what makes this oil a 'nature's silicone'. Euric acid
ia a monounsaturated fatty acid, works on our skin to prevent
transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and protects skin from the
elements, like wind, snow, cold, and so on.
Oleic acid - 40%
Lionelic Acid - 18%
What does broccoli oil feel like?
A few drops rubbed onto the hand give an instantly glossy appearance
however, within moments it is absorbed leaving the skin looking and
feeling conditioned with vibrant appearance. A truly magical
experience! Broccoli seed oil emollient, yet lightweight texture is
unlike any other botanical oil.
Not all broccoli seed oils are created equal
Our broccoli seed oil is non-GMO, cold-pressed-to-order just for us
in the United States.
