After a decade of research I found the perfect natural alternative for synthetic silicones. This oil 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, green-hued oil that smelled delicately of earth - I fell in love.

We crafted the Gressa Healing Complex with the elegant properties of Broccoli Seed Oil in mind, and delivered a truly pure formula, free of synthetic preservatives or filler ingredients, launching a revolution in the beauty industry as the first foundation to be “skin first.” Making the Minimalist corrective serum foundation a “first-of-its-kind,” a complexion product that performs equally as skincare & 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 a skincare bestseller.

Using broccoli seed oil as the first ingredient, undiluted, means every bottle is packed with botanical forms of skin regenerative vitamins 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, Founder, Gressa Inc.
