BEAUTY THROUGH NATURE

Danuta Skin is a nurturing, efficacious, and restorative skin care line rooted in scientific inquiry and the healing power of plants. The brand’s fundamental approach to beauty is deeply entwined with overall well-being. Skin functions as a communicative intermediary between the body and outside environs—a protective organ that also needs care. As a result, every Danuta product addresses inflammation and oxidative stress, drawing on a wealth of carefully chosen cold-pressed oils, antioxidant-rich vitamins, and botanical extracts that support the skin. This commitment to natural ingredients is reflected in elemental yet innovative formulas, filtering old-world wisdom through modern research.

Curiosity and integrity are two lodestars for the brand’s founder, Ewa D. Gorna. A native of Poland, Ewa is a self-described autodidact with an abiding interest in plants. For the past two decades, she has immersed herself in the study of essential oils, botanical extracts, and minerals, which led her to formulate her first skin care product, a face oil. Over the ensuing years, she amassed a devoted following among friends and family, who fell in love with the noticeably nourishing formulas and quiet rigor of her work.

Danuta Skin is born from a desire to expand this like-minded community. Ewa’s passion for skin health has led her deep into the scientific literature—research that, in some ways, is analogous to her previous career as a linguist, working in several languages. A mother of two, she lives in the greater New York area with her husband, a doctor and research scientist.

In keeping with this reverence for nature and well-being—both on a personal level and an ecological one—the Danuta Skin formulas are crafted with utmost care. The majority of the ingredients are organically grown, and the plant-based preservatives have been chosen for their additional skin-supportive benefits. The line includes celebrated skin care standbys, such as bakuchiol, a botanical retinol alternative, and stabilized vitamin C. Ewa has also selected a range of powerful botanicals less familiar to the beauty industry, including saffron oil, sandalwood seed oil, and banana oil. The only fragrances present in the products are essential oils, which earn a place as much for their scent profiles as for their skin-nurturing qualities. All are used in low concentrations to sidestep irritation. The result is skin care that hews close to the earth, while nourishing those who call it home.

“In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks,” the botanist and Sierra Club founder John Muir once wrote. In a similar way, the world of Danuta Skin is continually uplifted by plants: mind, body, and spirit.
