Our story

The story of Meadow Cosmetics is deeply rooted in the pulse and purity of nature.

It all began in the kitchen of our founder, Ida Sinisalo-Peltola, where she started making natural cosmetics for herself and her friends. She was guided from the very beginning by a strong principle: cosmetics should be so pure that you could even eat them. Ida's goal has always been to use only clean and locally sourced ingredients, with a completely known origin – "from field to jar."

The passion for pure cosmetics gradually grew larger.

Ida has developed all the recipes and products, but the journey would have been incomplete without the important people by her side. A pivotal moment came when Ida's close friend and godfather of her firstborn fell in love with the products so deeply that he wanted to share this discovery with others. Thus, Meadow Cosmetics was born – not just a cosmetics brand among others, but a whole philosophy in favor of pure beauty care.

We have created a unique connection with meadows.

For us, meadows are not just a source of raw materials, but a living ecosystem where bees, flowers, and cows thrive on healthy soil in natural balance. It all starts with organic raw materials that not only care for your skin but also support the well-being of our entire environment.

Fat is one of our most valuable treasures.

The reason is simple: the oils in fat resemble our skin's own oils remarkably closely. We only use the fat from grass-fed cows, which would otherwise go unused as a byproduct of meat production. This is a perfect example of how we can wisely and responsibly utilize nature's gifts.

Grazing cows do invaluable work for nature.

Cows maintain soil fertility, support diverse plant species, and create important habitats for pollinators. Cow manure naturally enriches the soil, promoting plant growth and sequestering carbon in the ground. This creates a beautiful cycle where each part supports the others.

The flowers & herbs of the meadows are dear treasures to us.

Flowers and herbs bring their beauty to the world – and that is something we truly need. In our products, the scents and colors of the flowers remain vibrant long after autumn. We gently extract the flowers and herbs to preserve their caring properties and aromas in their authentic and lively form. This gentle method is also environmentally friendly: we need only a fraction of the plant material that is normally required for producing essential oils.

Without bees, we would have nothing.

No flourishing meadows, no seed-producing plants, no rich biodiversity. The work of bees affects the entire living world, as so many animals and we humans are dependent on pollinated plants. Bees also produce honey and wax beyond their own needs, and we use these gifts of nature in our products with the respect they deserve.

Our philosophy is simple.

We want everything we put on our skin to support its well-being without compromise. Together with the meadows, we create cosmetics that are not only perfect for your skin but also respect and cherish nature. We see beauty as a whole – it arises from the balance between the well-being of your skin and the environment.
