Have you ever visited Croatia and thought, “I wish I could take a piece of this country home with me?” The stunning coastline, the lush forests, the pristine rivers—everything about Croatia seems to capture the heart. Well, now you can take a little bit of that magic with you, thanks to 757 Natural Cosmetics.

This brand is a love letter to Croatia’s natural beauty, crafted with care by two childhood friends, Blanka Srdelić and Antonija Kvasina Kovačević. Every product they create is inspired by the landscapes they grew up loving, from the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic to the majestic mountains and rivers that dot their homeland.

A Friendship, a Vision, and Croatia’s Natural Wonders

Blanka and Antonija’s connection to the land runs deep. Growing up in Croatia, they spent their childhoods surrounded by the vibrant colors of the countryside, the lush greenery, and the breathtaking blue of the Adriatic Sea. Their shared love for nature led them to dream of creating something that could capture the essence of their homeland—and that’s how 757 Natural Cosmetics came to life.

The name 757 comes from Croatia’s 757 protected natural landmarks—what Blanka and Antonija call "fragments of Croatia." Their vision? To create 757 unique products, each one inspired by a different natural wonder, whether it’s an island, river, mountain, or park. It’s a bold goal that reflects their deep passion for the beauty of their country.

Skincare That Takes You on a Journey

What sets 757 Natural Cosmetics apart is that each product feels like a journey through Croatia’s most iconic landscapes. Take the Blues collection, for example, inspired by the country’s stunning islands. Each handcrafted soap is made with nourishing ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter, and crafted using a cold-process method that preserves the natural benefits of these ingredients.

One standout is “The Sea Heart”, which blends orange, lemon, and citronella to capture the fresh, citrusy vibe of Galešnjak Island—known for its heart-shaped form. Another favorite is “No Man’s Land”, inspired by Velika Palagruža, with soothing lavender and cinnamon to evoke the island’s raw, rugged beauty.

But 757’s connection to Croatia doesn’t stop at the sea. The Whites collection brings the essence of the country’s 34 rivers to life with scrubs and body care products designed to nourish and refresh. “The Minor Canyon”, inspired by the Cetina River, combines walnut shell powder, Himalayan salt, and rosewood essential oil for a scrub that exfoliates while hydrating your skin. It’s not just about feeling clean—it’s about treating your skin to a spa-like experience every day.

Sustainability and Craftsmanship at the Core

One thing that truly sets 757 apart is its commitment to sustainability. Every product is crafted with the environment in mind. The ingredients are natural and cruelty-free, and the packaging is recyclable. Blanka and Antonija have made it a priority to reduce their environmental footprint, and they’re actively working to eliminate plastic from their operations.

They believe that skincare should be kind to both your skin and the planet—and they’ve built their business with that core value at the forefront. It’s about honoring Croatia’s natural beauty in a way that gives back to the land they love.

Blanka and Antonija have created something truly special from their workshop in Žrnovnica, a small place outside Split, and their passion for their homeland shines through in every product. So, if you’re looking for skincare with a story—something that’s both luxurious and sustainable—look no further than 757 Natural Cosmetics.

Your skin—and your senses—will thank you.
