I am Katarina \u2013 creator of natural products and founder of the KataLonca brand.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n

My path has always been connected to nature and a healthy lifestyle, so it is no coincidence that I have combined my knowledge and heart into creating clothing and cosmetics that are friendly to both people and the environment.<\/p>\n

I began my story by continuing a family craft, where we produced fabric<\/strong> from Egyptian knit and dyed it with eco-friendly dyes. From this, we created comfortable, skin-friendly clothing for babies, children, and adults.
Unfortunately, the decline of the textile industry in Slovenia brought major changes \u2013 it was no longer possible to source high-quality yarn or dye fabric, so this is no longer something we can do today. It was a difficult decision, but because I believe that every closed door opens a new one, we found a different path.
Today, we work with high-quality Turkish knit, dyed with eco-friendly dyes, and from it we still create garments that carry the same heart and quality as before. <\/p>\n

You can learn more about natural clothing on the presentation website: www.strojan.si<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Alongside clothing, cosmetics naturally entered my world. After many courses and research, I first began creating natural solid soaps <\/strong>from vegetable butters and oils, enriched with herbs, clay, salt, honey, and more. Over time, I expanded my collection with:
– natural solid shampoo bars<\/strong> for all hair types,
– lip balms<\/strong> in different flavors,
– natural deodorants with zeolite<\/strong> (baking soda-free),
– salt and sugar body scrubs<\/strong>,
– and various glycerin soaps<\/strong> in different shapes, which bring joy and playfulness.<\/p>\n

Each product is handmade with love and attention to detail, because I believe that what we put on our skin should be natural and safe.<\/p>\n

Because I believe that beauty also comes from within, I have completed the first and second level of the Usui Reiki <\/strong>training method, as well as a general body massage<\/strong> course. In this way, I have expanded my mission into the field of well-being, where I combine care for both body and mind. <\/p>\n

Everything I create is made with nature and people in mind. I am convinced that by choosing natural products, we do the most for ourselves, our health, and our planet. <\/p>\n

Welcome to take a look into my world and feel a piece of nature in every product.<\/strong><\/p>\n

REASONS TO USE NATURAL KATALONCA COSMETICS:<\/strong><\/b><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”90%” max_width=”2560px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font=”Inter||||||||” text_font_size=”14px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Because they contain VEGETABLE OILS AND BUTTERS<\/strong><\/b>
High-quality natural products are made from nourishing oils such as olive, sunflower, or castor oil, and butters like coconut and palm butter. Naturally, these products are enriched with vegetable glycerin, which is known to hydrate and nourish the skin without drying it out.
In contrast to commercial solid soaps or shower gels, natural solid soaps do not contain various harmful chemicals, surfactants, artificial foaming agents, paraffins, chemical stabilizers, or fragrances that are proven endocrine disruptors and can disturb the skin\u2019s natural balance. In most commercial soaps, glycerin is removed or present only in very small amounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”14px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

PRODUCTS HAVE LONG-TERM USE<\/strong><\/b>
Natural solid soap typically lasts 2\u20133 times longer than a shower gel (when properly stored in a dry place). The main ingredient in liquid soap is water, while solid soaps are mainly made of oils and butters that nourish the skin and help maintain its natural balance.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”14px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

NATURAL PRODUCTS ARE GOOD FOR US AND THE ENVIRONMENT<\/strong><\/b>
When we think about how much plastic packaging accumulates over time from using products such as shower gels or liquid hand soap, it becomes clear how impactful our choices are. We pay for the production of plastic packaging, and we also pay for the valuable water that is the main ingredient in these products.
An ecological alternative for skincare is natural products, as they come in minimal packaging and contain no added water.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”14px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

PRODUCTS ARE FREE OF PRESERVATIVES<\/b>
In the production of natural products, there is no need for preservatives to keep them fresh, safe, and effective for a long time, as these products do not contain water. All commercial shower gels contain water in their formulation and therefore must be properly preserved.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”14px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

PRODUCTS CONTAIN NATURAL INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/b>
Take a look at the ingredients of a shower gel or a commercial bar soap. Do you actually know what they mean? With natural solid soaps, you know and understand every single ingredient because everything comes from nature.
When reading the ingredients of natural solid soaps, your tongue doesn\u2019t \u201ctwist\u201d like it often does when reading the ingredients of commercial soaps and shower gels.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”90%” max_width=”2560px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”14px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take care of our health and consider switching to natural products, as this helps us save money, protects our skin from harmful chemicals, contributes to reducing waste, reduces the production of plastic packaging, and helps preserve valuable water.<\/span><\/p>\n
