About us
Hi Berries,
I’m so excited to see you here on our page. Welcome! I hope we become friends :) Have you heard about us before?
The core of Uoga Uoga right from the start (in 2010) has been our belief that natural ingredients are awesome, while some synthetics – not so great. We’ve known that with hard work and creativeness we can turn what nature has best - into safe and effective cosmetics. Without compromises. And here we are- our “shelves” heavy with the full range of organic skin, hair and body care cosmetics as well as our unique line of natural certified make-up!
During my journey with Uoga Uoga I understood, that finding and using natural cosmetics should make your life easier not harder. I know how overwhelming it can be to learn about ingredients and to find the products that would just plain work! So, relax. We’ve spent hundreds of hours in laboratory, consulted with experts in natural chemistry and also with professional make-up artists, to make our products a breeze to use. Now you can worry a tad less and enjoy the natural a tad more.
Btw, I myself use only Uoga Uoga products for me and my family. Of course, I have some favourites and some I take particular pride in (read “mineral foundations and lip gloss”). Our whole team creates cosmetics primarily for ourselves and I think that’s one of the reasons why it’s so good :))
Dive in, find your favourites and write to us what you think!

Natural should be NATURAL
It seems straightforward, but with the amount of green-washing in the market, not always so.
When we started the company back in 2010 (way before natural became fashionable), our main aim was to create organic products and fill the scarcity on the market. Now more than a decade passed and we still feel there could be more truly organic products especially in the make-up category. The term “clean” is often abused and you can find all kind of evil stuff in “clean” beauty.
Our products abide by the pan-European COSMOS standard, they are certified Cosmos Natural and Cosmos Organic and the annual inspection from Soil Association makes sure our products are really what they say they are.
Natural should be EFFECTIVE
How many times have we heard that “natural cosmetics is not for me, it does not do what a proper synthetics can”. Well, truth is, most synthetics tries to mimic natural ingredients but at a lower cost and with more consistent results. The rise of green chemistry industry in latest decade gave us such an improvement of active ingredient range.
At Uoga Uoga we understand that cosmetics should be active, and we enrich our skin care as well as make-up products with such natural ingredients, as hyaluronic acid, phytosterols, flower acid, beta glucans and the likes. The efficacy of these ingredients was proved scientifically and it allows us to create high performance products. So long, ineffective creams, welcome new kind of organic!
Natural should be EASY
We understand that as much as we would like to wash the hair with clay and rinse it with vinegar, this is not realistic for a modern person on a go. We develop products that are functional and easy to use. That also stands for our make-up. We create glowy fashionable products that you can apply with a finger and your make-up will be done in 5 minutes. You don’t have time to countour? We get it, you don’t have to. ;)
Have I mentioned, our cosmetics is also vegan, not tested on animals, hand made here in Vilnius and everything from formulae, products themselves to package design and photos are developed by our amazing team and sometimes our friends.
