Ingredient spotlight

Seven things, mostly from farms we can name

  • Shea & mango butterUnrefined, bought through a women's cooperative in Ghana. They give every cream its body.
  • Cold-pressed olive & sunflower oilFrom a press in Dobrogea that also supplies two restaurants on our street.
  • Beeswax & calendulaThe wax from a beekeeper near Brașov; the calendula we steep ourselves for three weeks.
  • What we leave outMineral oil, synthetic fragrance, silicones and dyes. Scent comes from essential oils and infusions.
Our story

It started with a nurse's hands

"Twelve washes a shift and nothing from the pharmacy helped. So my sister started making it herself."

Vasarleto began in 2019 in a flat in Floreasca, with a saucepan, a kitchen scale and a sister who worked night shifts at Colțea hospital. The first salve was olive oil and beeswax, melted together because that was what the cupboard had.

Seven years on, we still whip every batch by hand, in a small workshop above the shop. We label each jar with the date it was made and we keep the ingredient lists short enough to read on the tin.

How it works

From the jar to your hands

01

Warm a little

Our balms are firm on purpose. Scoop a pea-sized amount and let it melt between your palms for a few seconds.

02

Work it in

Press into knuckles, cuticles and the backs of your hands, where skin thins first. A light layer goes a long way.

03

Keep it close

Tins fit a coat pocket. Reapply after washing up or coming in from the cold; that is when skin asks for it.

What people write back

Collected from order follow-up emails. Edited only for length.

The olive salve lives on my desk now. It does not leave my keyboard greasy, which is the part I did not expect.

Ioana D.Cluj-Napoca · Olive Leaf Hand Salve

Bought the minis as a gift for my mother, kept two for myself. The blue one smells like a field after rain.

Radu M.Timișoara · Blue Clay Body Butter Minis

I garden most weekends and my hands used to crack in October. Two weeks of the cypress balm at night and the splits closed up.

Questions

Things people ask before ordering

How long does a jar last once opened?

Balms and salves keep for about 12 months after opening; whipped butters and water-based creams for 6 months. We print the batch date on every label so you can keep track. Store away from direct sun and radiators.

Are the products suitable for sensitive skin?

Our Calendula and Sea Mineral creams are the mildest and contain no essential oils. For anything scented, we suggest patch-testing on the inner forearm for 24 hours first. Full ingredient lists are on each product page and on the label.

Where do you ship, and how fast?

We ship across Romania with Fan Courier (1–3 working days) and to the rest of the EU with DPD (3–7 working days). Orders placed before 14:00 on a working day usually leave the same day.

Can I return something?

Unopened items can be returned within 14 days of delivery for a refund. For hygiene reasons we cannot take back opened jars, but if something arrived damaged or is not what you ordered, write to us and we will sort it out.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Jars are glass or aluminium with metal or wooden lids. Both go in standard glass and metal recycling in Romania. Shipping boxes are kraft cardboard with paper tape.
