Our Story
Welcome to Nana Latta!
Hello there! I’m Laura, the creative force and passionate founder of Nana Latta, which beautifully translates to 'Mother Earth' in Chechen, my native tongue. Born and raised in the Chechen Republic, I've now planted my roots in Belgium, where I craft our delightful skincare products.
My adventure into the world of holistic skincare started as a personal quest to find safer, more natural options for my family. What began as a mission turned into a passion, and eventually blossomed into our beloved atelier. Here at Nana Latta, we mix tradition with passion, creating something truly special in every batch!
Nana Latta Roots & Mission
As a Certified Health Advisor with a specialization in integrated holistic medicine, and a mother, my commitment has always been towards the purest and most effective skincare.
The Nana Latta practices & products are deeply rooted with simple, traditional methods that utilize readily available kitchen and garden ingredients—practices that have stood the test of time and have been cherished and passed down through generations.
Troubled by the harsh chemicals prevalent in today’s skincare products, I dedicated myself to mastering the art of organic skincare formulation. After years of crafting my own soaps and skincare essentials, I earned a Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation. This formal education coupled with a profound understanding of nutrition has shaped our unique approach at Nana Latta.
"At Nana Latta, we are dedicated to creating artisanal skincare products that blend traditional wisdom with modern science. Rejecting fleeting trends, current health and environmental dogmas, we choose a path rooted in common sense and real results. Our unique blend of nourishing tallow and powerful botanicals not only revitalizes your skin but also upholds our commitment to environmental sustainability."
Why Tallow and Botanicals?
Here at Nana Latta, we are mostly specialize in creating tallow-based skincare products. Tallow, a rendered fat traditionally used by many cultures, is chemically similar to human skin cells which makes it exceptionally beneficial. It provides optimal hydration, enhances skin regeneration, and contains antioxidants that protect against environmental stressors.
Moving away from common mass-made cosmetics, our unique approach utilizes ethically sourced tallow, celebrated for its remarkable health and eco-friendly benefits. Enhanced with potent botanical extracts, our skincare products not only nourish the skin but also stand out for their commitment to environmental responsibility and effectiveness.
We're excited to collaborate with a cherished local family business, rich in 200 years of tradition and expertise. Renowned for their unwavering ethical and sustainable practices, they champion recycling and use only the best grass-fed, European, and Halal-certified sources. This partnership empowers us to deliver skincare products crafted from the finest ingredients, meeting the high standards of those who value purity and sustainability in their beauty regimen.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Each of the Nana Latta products is handcrafted in small batches using the traditional cold method. This technique ensures that the potent properties of our ingredients are fully preserved. At Nana Latta, we are committed to sustainability and transparency. We use the finest active plant extracts and tallow, offering skincare that is effective, trustworthy, and never tested on animals.
