Omorovicza, the cult beauty brand from Budapest, Hungary is now in Malaysia at all Ken’s Apothecary stores nationwide! Seeing how Budapest has more thermal water springs than any other city in the world to the point where in 1934 it was officially named the “International Spa City”, here are 5 fun facts you should know about the thermal water inspired skincare from Omorovicza:
- Over 2,000 years ago, when the healing properties of Hungary’s thermal waters were discovered and the first thermal baths where built. In the 1800’s the Omorovicza family
built a beautiful thermal bath, the Rácz Fürdő, on the site of an Ottoman bath, itself erected in the 1560’s on top of a medieval healing spring famous for its curative properties. - The secret to the healing Hungarian waters? The crust of the earth is thinner than elsewhere which allows the waters to absorb beneficial minerals more effectively on their way to the surface, meaning that certain springs contain a combination of minerals that have been shown to have a profoundly revitalizing effect on the skin.
- The brand was launched on 2006 by Stephen de Heinrich de Omorovicza, a descendant of the noble Omorovicza family, and his wife Margaret, a former US diplomat Chief of Staff at the US Embassy who were amazed and inspired by the transformation of their skin after enjoying the ancient thermal baths at Rácz Fürdő in Hungary. And so enlisted the help of with the head of a Hungarian laboratory of dermatology famous for its Nobel prize-winning discovery of Vitamin C to harness these healing waters into a pioneering new luxury skincare range, using Hydro Mineral Transference™ (the beneficial minerals in the healing waters evolve into bio-available compounds that are encapsulated in phospholipids to ensure the absorption of the minerals deeper into the epidermis.).
- All Omorovicza products are made with a potent blend of Hungary’s mineral-rich healing waters and the patented Healing Concentrate™, which delivers all the minerals occurring naturally in the Omorovicza healing waters deep into your skin’s epidermis. Combined with the finest vitamins, essential oils and other natural ingredients sourced from across the globe, from the bed of Lake Heviz to the peak of the Andes Mountains, your skin will be looking at its best.
