Our Story

Letter From Our Founder

GRESSA was born out of the desire to create something very special and worthy of a woman’s delicate skin. 

My passion came from a family history of traditional herbalism, my own scientific background and a desire for simple, fine and extraordinary lifestyle rituals to replace the modern habits of over-consumer.

In came the Balancing Cleanser that changed my skin and life as well as beauty rituals of loved ones around me.

Beyond that came a roller coaster that brought me to where I am today. The philosophy that is Gressa is becoming a stand-alone. A pioneer. A revolution, really.

The Gressa Collection is filled with worldly ritual-inspired apothecary items as well as glamour-ful color skincare cosmetics. As the world takes notice, I invite you to take the leap into the world of divine textures, luxurious olfactory endeavors and truly, the best skin of your life.

I often say that GRESSA is a fusion of science, love and art all bottled up in a beautiful violet glass bottle. And it really is just that: years of formal education, tradition of ancient medicine, and my heart and soul poured into it creating the beauty behind each formula.

When creating the GRESSA concept my intention was to transcend green beauty. I wanted to take the stigma and stereotypes out of the word ‘green’. I wanted my product to represent what every woman deserves: an efficacious line that is couture yet remains uncompromising of purity. The Gressa brand is a brand that celebrates glamour and sex appeal and still remains free of silicones, preservatives, and anything that is harmful for your health.

My dream is to invade every woman’s bathroom, purse and nightstand with a beautiful glass bottle or jar filled with more than just skincare but a beautifying experience that elevates and inspires her to be authentic, unapologetic and fearless.

Love always,

Svetlana
