Montenegrin natural cosmetics

Natural cosmetics here lean on two raw materials Montenegro has in abundance and does well: coastal olive oil and mountain medicinal herbs. Cold-process soap made with local olive oil, calendula macerated in oil, St John's wort salve and beeswax balms are produced in small batches, usually to recipes older than the industry itself.

This category covers soaps, balms, salves, hydrosols, lip balms and body oils. Ask for the full ingredient list, the production date and the shelf life — preservative-free cosmetics last less long than industrial products, and a good maker will not hide that.
