If you're like me – always on the lookout for and supporting small brands that use natural, local ingredients and offer unique products – then you might want to consider checking out the adorable Uhaya shop.
Even if you're not particularly interested in trying unfamiliar cosmetics, you can still find gifts here, such as handmade candles, soaps, and other interesting items. So my advice is not to miss this place.
Uhaya is a family-run business, and the main idea behind it is that it sells high-quality natural products and accessories for health and a clean environment. They offer a range of skincare, body care, and hair care products, as well as essential oils, aromatherapy gift sets, and accessories. Most of the brands in the store are Bulgarian, so you have the chance to experience the latest trends in local boutique cosmetics.
You can request their handmade soap that supports a cause. The Pelican soap was created in partnership with Uhaya and the Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation. It is inspired by the landscape of the pink Atanasovsko Lake near the city of Burgas, where salt is harvested and pelicans reside.
