Welcome to ASPA Den Haag! Read more about us here.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cMy name is Azra Secerbegovic, and I\u2019m the founder of ASPA, a place to find healthy, natural\u00a0products<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0treatments\u00a0that your skin and soul crave! My personal mission is to help you realise that you can look beautiful without using quick fixes and harsh chemicals on\u00a0your skin. With a passion for nutrition, wellbeing and skincare I embarked on my ASPA journey in 2008. Prior to that, I studied and worked as the botanist (The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew<\/a>) then moved into the more commercial roles in the organic fresh produce industry.\u201c <\/em><\/p>

I\u2019m regularly asked about my reasons for avoiding mainstream face, body and haircare formulations. However I am rarely asked about my motivations for choosing clean beauty.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Plants have great benefits to offer to our skin and hair.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t

The mainstream cosmetics industry has for the longest time given us the impression that their formulations are complex combinations, made from their laboratories\u2019 finest free-flowing synthetic chemicals. Their marketing \u2018techno-babble\u2019 plays perfectly into this image.<\/p>

However, the recent growth in skincare has shown us that when consumers demand formulations that are \u2018free from\u2019 certain chemicals, the mainstream industry suddenly tones down the high tech rhetoric and starts waxing lyrical about their botanical origins instead.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Using plants to nourish and protect our skin is not new.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>Before we embraced our synthetic serums and conditioners, people used vegetables, fruit ,dairy products and herbs. These are only a few of the ingredients upon which today\u2019s beauty products are based.<\/p>

Scientific research into the topical benefits of plants is ongoing around the world. Researchers are finding that certain botanical extracts can match or surpass their lab-based counterparts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Skincare ties together the concepts of wellbeing and beauty.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t

The truth is that I hardly wear any make-up except\u00a0Jane Iredale Mineral Make Up<\/a>, I use my skincare regulary and I believe a healthy and happy woman and\/or man are the most beautiful self.<\/p>

Everybody deserves good skin! In fact, this helps us in our daily life and business ventures, and gives us that extra confidence\u00a0boost.<\/p>

The importance of giving back <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t

As a business, we believe it is our responsibility to give back to the community around us and to help improve lives where we have the opportunity to do so. This is why ASPA is involved in projects and foundations that make a meaningful difference.<\/p>

We also have our own foundation Stichting\u00a0Emina Foundation<\/a> which supports children and young adults in their education.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
