About us
Uchka cosmetics contains valuable hand-made extracts of wild plants, harvested in the most northern Mediterranean region, the Istrian peninsula in Croatia, by a unique method of wild-picking, which makes the products extremely saturated with active ingredients beneficial for the skin.
The manufacturer, Mediterra Herbal, the name behind Uchka, has designed unique, effective skincare products for everyone who cares about their health and good looks.
Uchka is an authentic example of synergy between man and nature, which respects nature’s natural rhythms, and presents exclusive autochthonous natural products manufactured in eco-friendly ways.
In our wild-picking processes, we take special care to preserve the fund of biodiversity through the ritual and selective harvesting of wild gifts of nature. Therefore, we highlight this unique feature with the slogan “Istrian Wild Cru.”
We are proud to receive the Grazia Best of Beauty award for the most sustainable Croatian beauty brand.
Environment & Uchka
There are several ways we strive to operate sustainably while respecting nature’s harmony:
- We respect nature and preserve the herbal population’s biodiversity and habitat through wild-picking practices.
- We reduce biological waste – we use the biological waste from Istrian wine and olive oil producers: grape seeds and olive leaves.
- In the preparation of herbal extracts, we use eco-friendly manual processes.
- Our products use glass packaging that can be reused and recycled many times. We encourage the return of glass packaging, subject to cleaning, sterilization, and reuse for new products. Customers get a discount on their next purchase for every five packages returned.
All our practices – from harvesting, through shaping, to final product delivery – are unique and reflect an attentively designed synergistic cycle that reflects our relationship with nature.
What Your Skin Needs
With active ingredients sourced from the wild, Uchka products nourish, renew, refresh, and deeply hydrate, leaving your skin simply – in love.
The Power of Nature

More Than Just Skincare
Uchka is a lifestyle. To live freely, embracing both wildness and gentleness, strength and softness, elegance and simplicity... Our cosmetics are here to remind you of this every day.
