Our Story

 

Imagine hiking in the majestic mountains and glens covered in moss and heather, surrounded by emerald green valleys where the sky reflects in the deep, clear lochs as if they are mirrors of the fairy world. Take a walk on the beach, smell the sea and feel the wind playing with your hair while you stroll on the fine white sand.

Welcome to the world of Deerieo. Make yourself at home.

Our story: the beginnings of Deerieo

 

Deerieo’s story began in 2016 when its founder and owner, Karolina Bajbuz, fell in love with the beautiful and charming Scottish capital and decided to make Edinburgh her new home.

Shortly after, however, she discovered one drawback. She ran out of the face cream her mother, a qualified beautician, used to make for Karolina's sensitive, acne-prone combination skin. 

After many attempts to find a suitable off-the-shelf alternative, Karolina realised she needed to make her own face cream to address her complex skin concerns and obtain the quality and efficacy she’d been seeking. This is when the exciting journey into the world of premium natural skincare began and continues to this day.

Interest in plants, herbalism and natural medicine has run in Karolina’s family for generations, passed from grandmother to mother to daughter. For Karolina, the interest in plants naturally progressed into a passion for making artisan skincare using the finest natural ingredients to deliver visible results.

For a number of years she studied organic cosmetic chemistry and created countless natural skincare formulations, seeking the perfect solution for sensitive and acne-prone skin. 

Karolina has successfully graduated from Formula Botanica, an award-winning accredited organic skincare academy, and obtained a Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation and a Certificate in Natural Cosmetic Preservation.

And finally - Karolina’s mother, Nina, recently joined Deerieo so we are now officially a mother and daughter family business!
