we’re family
Natalia Bednarek
A young millennial and entrepreneur, Natalia is passionate about travel, beauty, and friendship. She’s a courageous type A, and a fierce supporter of women and the freedom of choice. She oversees the marketing and e-commerce side of HERLA in New York.
Krystyna Bednarek
Natalia’s grandmother, Krystyna, is a world traveler with a passion for nature, science, and beauty. She’s an ambitious (and a little bossy!), successful entrepreneur, and a vocal advocate for women’s career advancement. She oversees manufacturing of our products and ingredient sourcing, and leads our family-owned lab in Poland.
our mission: uncovering nature’s secrets
Over many years of traveling all around the world, Natalia’s grandmother, Krystyna, explored techniques that women in different countries and cultures have developed to take care of their skin.
Often times, these beauty secrets had been passed down from generations of women, just as Krystyna brought them home to share with her own granddaughter — and now you.
