THE POWER OF THE FOREST ON THE ISLAND OF LOŠINJ – Mirta d.o.o.
FOREST BALM
The island of Lošinj has a long tradition of providing treatment for respiratory diseases. It has been proven that, thanks to its mild climate and natural healing properties, Lošinj offers special conditions for recovery from stress and improvement of various lung and skin conditions. The sea air enriched with the essential oils of the plants growing along the coast is believed to be the key factor ensuring such beneficial conditions. And it is precisely thanks to these natural attributes of the island and its rich forests that Lošinj is the first location in Croatia that provides forest therapy.
FOREST BALM is a multi-purpose balm based on healing natural and essential plant oils and macerates, such as the calendula macerate, sunflower and jojoba oils, and cypress, pine, rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils. Application: To relieve the symptoms of upper respiratory disorders, apply a thin layer to the chest area 2 to 3 times a day and rub in gently. To relieve muscle strain pain, soften the skin or reduce itchiness after a mosquito bite, apply to the skin and rub in gently.

FOREST MIST is a fragrant and relaxing water spray for both body and space based on the essential oils and hydrolates of pine, cypress, lemon, and Eucalyptus globulus trees. When applied to the face and body, it helps hydrate the skin and relieve muscle strain pain. It is excellent as a mosquito repellent, and it also provides after-bite relief (apply preventively to avoid mosquito bites or to reduce itchiness after a mosquito bite). When used as a space freshener, it helps calm the breath and reduce anxiety thanks to a blend of fragrances that boosts the psychological well-being and reduces mental exhaustion. Application: shake the bottle before use, and then spray it around the room or on bed linen. You can also apply it on a handkerchief or a towel.

LOŠINJ FORESTS – A NATURAL HEALTH RESORT
The main species constituting the forests of Lošinj are the pines (i.e., the Allepo pine, the European black pine, and the maritime pine), several types of cypress trees, and cedar trees. Besides trees, laurel and myrtle are also quite frequently found in Lošinj forests. Thanks to their numerous healing properties, the essential oils of these plants make ideal ingredients for the preparation of many therapeutic and beauty skin and hair products, as well as products that help relieve various physical and psychological problems.

We highly value aligning with trends, constantly conducting research, refining our techniques, and expanding our knowledge. Our aim is to create innovative, natural, and effective beauty products for both the face and body, products known as MIRTA, with a lot of optimism and love.
„The scents and the richness of medicinal herbs found in this unique island archipelago were the inspiration behind creating the first creams and initiating the cosmetics production. Through careful consideration, selecting only the best from medicinal herbs, and rigorous choice of natural ingredients, we crafted effective products for a genuine sense of pleasure and beauty for both the face and body."
„I pondered on how to capture a piece of Losing’s essence, packaging it for our guests and friends who tread upon this island only for fleeting moments, allowing them to carry a whisper of its beauty wherever their journey takes them. Crafting skincare products for women, men, and children naturally followed my train of thought. After all, we all use them daily, multiple times a day. What we apply to our skin matters—it's a daily ritual, a language our skin understands. If we seek to preserve our well-being and beauty, a return to nature is imperative. Thus, our choices should embrace products exclusively crafted from the embrace of natural ingredients. This is how MIRTA cosmetics came to life, born from the very soul of its creator."
Natural plant and essential oils, dried ground herbs, natural beeswax, macerates, exquisite aromatic hydrosols—these are the primary ingredients of MIRTA cosmetics, all based on proprietary formulations. All substances in our products, as well as the final products themselves, undergo rigorous quality checks and are certified by authorized institutions. Authenticity is of utmost importance; hence, we strive to utilize raw materials sourced from local producers, prioritizing indigenous resources. For the ingredients not found on the island, we ensure they are 100% of Croatian origin. Moreover, we exclusively employ eco and smart certified plastics and glass for packaging. Production occurs in small batches to ensure that the products are always fresh and fragrant.
