  • Beauty and well-being
    12 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    In a few years, organic products have become more mainstream and can be found in many places like Sokos, Stockman, Prisma... Make sure to check well the compositions of the products and remember that "natural" doesn’t necessarily means "organic".
    All these cosmetics are imported from France, Sweden, Latvia, Germany... As far as I know, only Frantsila is offering organic cosmetics made in Finland in their Hämeenkyrö’s farms.

    18 November 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Thanks a lot to Tatjana Blum for bringing all this info together!!
    Urban communal gardening is a great way to grow food locally 🌱 while living in a city!
