Not without cosmetic shopping. Local cosmetics are simply excellent: high-quality, natural, most often made on the basis of salt, plant extracts and thermal water.

Carlsbad cosmetics are divided into therapeutic, care and decorative. Decorative can be called good in its price range. It is better to consult a doctor about the choice of therapeutic agents, but as for skin care cosmetics, I will say this: you need to find your “own” line, because it can be both extremely effective and cause allergies, for example.

The most famous brands

Brand Faon

It is found at every step, they produce not only cosmetics, but also medicinal products, all based on plant extracts and mineral water: various gels for joint and muscle pain, gels for gums, a wide selection of face and body care products.

It has been known even in our country since the times of the USSR, and even now many take slimming creams, creams with a lifting effect from them. I like their cosmetics.

The Manufaktura brand is very striking - natural cosmetics self made. Everything they have is so nicely packaged, and the prices are pleasant, 4-10 euros. We often take it as gifts, it looks very impressive.

Spa regulars love Ryor cosmetics, especially the Ryoherba series. All products contain herbal and plant extracts. They have wide lines of face and body creams for different types skins, shampoos and more. Prices at Ryor are also pleasing - in the range of 2-15 euros.

Where can I buy

Naturally, in Karlovy Vary there are a huge number of boutiques and branded cosmetic stores, where trained salespeople will tell you everything, help you choose the right line and generally orient you according to the assortment. We usually already know approximately what we need, so we take it either in the Tesco hypermarket or in the Rossman cosmetics store near the Masaryk monument, the prices there are much lower.

In general, the spread in prices for cosmetics is very large, they can differ by a factor of two, so it’s better not to rush to buy.

Those who have found "their" cosmetics continue to use it for a very long time, so we always carry a bag of "orders" from Var.

While some girls are crazy about Korean cosmetics, others dream of balm and cream from Karlovy Vary.

Czech cosmetics Manufaktura is probably the most famous and popular cosmetic brand, which is usually taken with you in baskets and suitcases from Prague. It so happened that I had never bought this brand, so I was happy to go to explore in a cozy and beautiful store!

In addition to branded stores, there are also separate brand stands in large supermarkets like Tesco (similar to our Metro). The prices are the same, but in company stores each purchase will be beautifully packaged and tied with a bow.

In addition to cosmetics, in the shops of this brand you can buy traditional toys made of straw, textiles and natural wood. I liked these dolls in national costumes:

And straw angels, which probably remained from the Christmas holidays))

Cosmetics brand Manufactura is focused on a few highlights, which formed the basis of the product lines. These are wine, beer, Karlovy Vary thermal salt, lavender and a refreshing mint called mojito. All lines are intended for body care, there are only a few products for the face, and they do not belong to the anti-aging program. But among the products for the shower, colored glycerin soap and hand care, there is where to roam in full))

I tried the smell and taste of all the lines, I liked the wine line with Isabella's wine aroma the most and notes of cherry compote. Having studied all the compositions with a magnifying glass, I chose only a few products that it would be interesting to try, but ... somehow the stars did not work out that day and I did not buy anything from cosmetics.

Bright glycerin soap is sold in pieces by weight, or you can buy the whole soap cake! The cost is 8 crowns (22 rubles) for 10 grams of soap.

Relaxing shower line with lemon balm and thermal salt:

Shower oil from the wine series is ideal for gifts, like the whole series))

Shower gel from the wine series, containing red wine and Isabella fragrance)) After such a gel, it’s better not to drive, they can check for alcohol, as it once happened to me when instead of perfume I tried the fragrance “red wine” with a wonderful alcoholic aroma))

A very good shower peeling with red wine, grape seeds and almond shells, myrrh extract and d-panthenol.

The famous Manufaktura line of Czech beer. There is indeed beer in the composition, as well as almond oil and some wheat protein to soften the skin, but there is no pronounced beer aroma:

The composition of the shower oil from the beer line:

Several Manufaktura series are made with Karlovy Vary salt. One of these lines with lemon balm, for relaxing bath treatments. It includes shower gel, bath oil and moisturizing body milk with thermal salt.

This line has a good cream elixir for the face, among other additives there is d-panthenol, grape seed, shea and macadamia oils, niacinamide, allantoin, squalene, mineral Karlovy Vary salt and moisturizing amino acids.

Refreshing and popular line of Mojito with the addition of mint essential oil:

This line includes hand sanitizer gel, shea butter hand cream, refreshing shower gel, glycerin soap, tired leg gel and loofah. You can collect a whole refreshing summer set))

I liked the refreshing foot gel that relieves fatigue. Contains extracts of ruscus, lemon peel, chestnut, solidago, menthol, camphor and essential oil mint. A very good gel that will come in handy in the summer for walking around Prague and other European capitals!

By Easter, each showcase of the Manufactory had painted egg shells, which are usually hung on a twig or a small tree near the house. I saw these last year in Austria and bought a set of hand-painted eggs there, so here I just admired the Easter eggs:

And so cute textile dolls for kids))

My impression of the brand Manufaktura

The fragrances in all lines are very calm and unobtrusive, they don’t rush at you and don’t tickle your nostrils)) Of all the products, I liked only a few - wine line shower gel, wine peeling and refreshing gel for tired feet from the Mojito series good composition. And of course, colored Easter eggs and the overall design of branded stores in eco-style.

This cosmetics cannot be called natural, since it does not meet organic standards, there are a lot of synthetic substances and SLS in the compositions. And here the Yves Rocher brand just asks for comparison, they are very similar both in design and in the composition of cosmetics.

From bonuses - beautiful decoration any purchase and assortment of children's toys made of natural wood, straw and linen fabrics. And also, they sell excellent wooden souvenir magnets in the form of a Mole, the hero of Czech cartoons. So I bought it for gifts, very soundly made by hand))
