Hristina Cosmetics – Bulgarian tradition intertwined with innovations in natural skin care
Hristina Cosmetics is a brand that has been gaining the trust of consumers in Bulgaria for years thanks to its unique products and natural formulas. By combining traditional herbal recipes with innovative practices, the brand becomes a perfect choice for people looking for natural care, exceptional attention to detail and quality production.
From herbal recipes to the innovative product line of Hristina Cosmetics
The beginning was set by Hristina Cosmetics, which bears the name of its founder. From there, the basic line, popular with its herbal products, started, and today 10 brands are already developing around it, which carry a more modern vision and are distinguished by different and innovative ingredients. It is this combination that turns Hristina Cosmetics into a brand with a recognizable name and vision not only on the territory of Bulgaria, but also throughout Europe.
With its production base located at the foot of Rila Mountain, as well as a product range of over 500 items, Kozmetika Hristina relies on hand-made products and all-natural ingredients – various herbal bases, oils and modern active ingredients. Thus, Hristina Cosmetics offers cosmetics that are backed by a comprehensive philosophy of exceptional care and natural beauty.

To look beyond the products themselves and understand more about the philosophy that turns skincare into a ritual, we talk to Maria Spasova – manager of Hristina Cosmetics and the person who today leads the brand on the path from tradition to innovation.
Hello, Ms. Spasova, thank you for accepting Stosport's invitation. Hristina Cosmetics is a brand with a long history, recognizable not only in Bulgaria, but also abroad. How did it all start - and what was the original vision of the brand? It all started with the desire to have affordable, natural cosmetic products on the Bulgarian market. The initial vision and idea was to create cosmetics that were effective and safe for the skin, made from quality, herbal ingredients. In fact, Ms. Hristina Hristova has been inspired by nature since an early age and with the desire to offer something different, she founded Hristina Cosmetics with the aim of making natural cosmetics accessible to everyone.
Kozmetika Hristina started with a simple idea, and today it already unites 11 different brands in its product catalog, each with its own character. How does a brand walk the path to this diversity – and which of the new lines do you think most strongly reflect the development and spirit of the original philosophy behind the name Kozmetika Hristina? Kozmetika Hristina started with a simple idea, but with time and the efforts of our team, it has transformed into something much more. Today we unite 11 different brands, each with its own unique character and philosophy.
The path to this diversity was not easy, but it was filled with inspiration and a desire for innovation. We strived to expand our product range, while maintaining the basic principles of naturalness and accessibility. Through careful research and selection of quality ingredients, we were able to create lines that not only meet the needs of our customers, but also reflect the spirit of the original philosophy of Hristina Cosmetics.
Among the new lines that most strongly reflect our philosophy, we can point out the products developed with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. They are created with care for nature and consumers, which completely coincides with our original idea – to offer natural cosmetics that are accessible to everyone.
You started with one brand, and today you have 11 – each with its own vision and audience. How do you manage to maintain the balance between the recognizable identity of Hristina Cosmetics and the diversity that all the other product lines bring ?
Maintaining the balance between the recognizable identity of Hristina Cosmetics and the diversity of different brands is a challenge, but at the same time a source of inspiration for us. The main strategy we follow is to preserve the core principles and values that launched the brand - naturalness, accessibility and customer care.
Each of our 11 brands has its own unique vision and target audience, but we make sure that they all share the core philosophy of Kozmetika Hristina. This means that regardless of the specifics of each brand, each product must meet the standards of quality and naturalness that we set at the very beginning.
Communication with our customers also plays an important role. Through active interaction and feedback, we manage to understand the needs and preferences of consumers and accordingly adapt product lines to satisfy different tastes and requirements without losing our identity.
We also regularly conduct market and trend analyses so that we can stay current and offer innovations that enrich our portfolio without compromising our core identity.
This balance between tradition and innovation is key to our successful development and continues to be a guiding principle in our work.
In your large product palette we also find the crystal series, for which you use special powders supplied from different countries. What inspired you to create this line and how does it fit into the overall philosophy of Hristina Cosmetics?
The creation of the crystal series was inspired by the desire to integrate elements of natural magic and the uniqueness of minerals. Crystals are considered symbols of balance and harmony, and we believe that they can bring benefits not only on a physical but also on an emotional level.
When we started working on this line, we aimed to combine natural ingredients with high-quality minerals sourced from different countries. These special powders not only enrich the formulas, but also give unique textures and properties to the products. The inspiration also came from our desire to offer something new and innovative that would meet the needs of our customers who are looking for a radically different skincare experience.
The crystal series fits perfectly into the overall philosophy of Hristina Cosmetics, as it combines naturalness and uniqueness. The crystals add an extra layer of authenticity and specialty that emphasizes our commitment to quality.
In this way, the series not only expanded our product portfolio, but also represented our desire to offer innovations that respect both nature and the needs of our customers.

Your products are already available in Germany, Italy, France and several other European countries. What do foreign consumers look for in a Bulgarian brand and what, in your opinion, makes Kozmetika Hristina competitive outside Bulgaria?
The expansion of Hristina Cosmetics into international markets is the result of careful research into the needs and preferences of foreign consumers. In the European countries where we offer our products, customers often look for several key qualities in a brand:
-
Consumers want assurance that the products they use are safe and effective. We pride ourselves on the high-quality natural ingredients and quality control we apply at every stage of the manufacturing process.
-
More and more people are attracted to brands that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. Cosmetics Hristina actively works to minimize the environmental footprint through packaging and ingredients that are gentle on the environment.
-
Authenticity and uniqueness: Bulgaria has a unique wealth of herbs and natural ingredients, which allows us to offer original formulas and products that cannot be found in traditional Western cosmetic lines. Foreign consumers appreciate the authenticity that comes with our products.
-
Individual approach and innovation: Our philosophy of an individual approach to customers is an important factor in our success. We develop new formulas and specialized lines tailored to different needs and skin types, which makes us attractive to different target audiences.
All these elements, combined with our history and traditions, give Kozmetika Hristina competitiveness outside of Bulgaria. We strive to keep up with global market trends and constantly improve our products and services to provide the best for our customers.
The winter season always brings with it a feeling of coziness, a festive mood and a desire to give something special to loved ones – a gesture that speaks louder than words. From the pumpkin series inspired by Halloween to the luxurious lines with gold and emerald for Christmas and New Year – the offerings of Hristina Cosmetics are rich and diverse. Which of them do you think best embody the spirit of the holidays and can become gifts that bring both beauty and experience?
The winter season is truly a special time, filled with coziness and opportunities to share love and attention. At Hristina Cosmetics, we offer a variety of products that combine beauty and experience, and which are ideal for holiday gifts.
Pumpkin Series: This line is perfect for Halloween and the winter holidays, as it offers not only beautiful packaging, but also unique formulas that keep skin hydrated and healthy. Pumpkin products bring a feeling of warmth and coziness, ideal as a gift for loved ones who appreciate natural skin care.
Our luxurious lines with gold and emerald: These collections perfectly capture the spirit of Christmas and New Year. Gold and emerald symbolize elegance and luxury, and offer unique experiences for consumers. The products from these lines not only provide visible results, but also create a real SPA atmosphere at home. A gift with such luxury will surely be appreciated by everyone.
Care Sets: Creating gift sets with combined products from different lines can be a great way to offer variety and care. For example, a set with a moisturizer, mask, and serum from the gold line would be not only practical, but also a stylish choice that will bring joy and excitement.
Essential Oil Products: During the winter months, many people are looking for soothing and relaxing moments. Products enriched with essential oils can be a wonderful gift that brings not only beauty, but also a wonderful experience for the senses.
Each of these suggestions can become part of special moments to share with your loved ones, turning them into unforgettable memories. The holidays are a perfect time to show your love and care, and our Bulgarian and natural products are an excellent way to do it!
The market is extremely dynamic, and trends change rapidly. How do you decide which products should remain as “classics” that preserve the spirit of your brand, and which should undergo a renewal with new flavors and ingredients to meet modern demands?
Managing a product portfolio in a dynamic market requires a balance between innovation and preserving the classic values that define the brand. The decision-making process at Hristina Cosmetics is strategic and goes through several key stages, but overall our strategy is to combine innovation with classic approaches so that we continue to offer quality products that meet modern consumer demands, without losing the uniqueness and spirit of Hristina Cosmetics.
And finally – the future is always a continuation of a story. How do you imagine the next chapter for Hristina Cosmetics – what new products or lines do you want to create to build on the philosophy that is already recognizable in Bulgaria and beyond?
The future of Hristina Cosmetics will certainly be an exciting and innovative chapter in our history. With the aim of building on the brand philosophy and continuing to offer modern solutions, here are the directions we envision for the next products and lines:
A line with a focus on sustainability : We plan to develop a new line that is all-natural and has minimal impact on the environment. This will include not only natural ingredients, but also packaging that is recyclable or biodegradable. We want to respond to the growing demand for sustainable beauty solutions.
Interactive and personalized products : Introducing a line of personalized beauty solutions where customers can choose the ingredients or fragrances would be an interesting step forward. For example, personalized serums or creams specifically formulated to individual skin needs.
Digital Solutions : As technology evolves, we are exploring opportunities to integrate digital platforms to offer virtual skin and beauty consultations. An app or web platform where consumers can receive advice on their personal needs and relevant products from Kristina Cosmetics.
Men's line : Men's skincare is a rapidly growing sector. We strive to create a line specifically designed for men, offering innovative skin and hair care formulas inspired by natural ingredients.
Children's products : Creating a line of natural cosmetics for children that is safe and gentle on sensitive children's skin is the next step. This line will include soaps, shampoos, creams and oils made from natural ingredients.
Collaboration with local producers : We wish to promote the local economy, so we plan to work with small producers of natural ingredients, while demonstrating the richness of Bulgarian nature.
The key aspect of our future will be the commitment to quality, sustainability and customer care at Kozmetika Hristina. We believe that each new line should carry not just a product, but an experience that supports our philosophy of natural beauty and well-being.
If you are looking for cosmetics that combine the power of nature with innovative manufacturing, Hristina Cosmetics is a choice that goes beyond simple skin care. Each product – from classic herbal formulas to luxurious lines with gold, emeralds and crystals – is created with attention to detail and respect for the beauty ritual. This is a brand that manages to preserve the spirit of tradition, while at the same time offering a sense of luxury and personal inspiration.
