Who We Are as PELCARE

PELCARE was founded with one goal in mind: to create ultra-clean, plant-based products with ingredients that work. With a mission to deliver these products at the highest quality standard, we offer a luxurious and conscious skincare experience with plant juices, cold-pressed oils, adaptogenic and vegan actives.

PELCARE Standards

We use only pure plant juices, cold-pressed botanical oils, plant extracts, vegan actives and adaptogens that support the skin structure and avoid synthetics, chemical preservatives and artificial colors that are incompatible with the skin.

 

We make sure that PELCARE is as gentle and effective on the skin as it is kind to the planet we live on. We also collaborate with our plant professor at Kastamonu University, who knows the soils of Turkey and Kastamonu very well. By working on a human scale, in small batches, we are able to ensure traceability and quality with maximum freshness. We always prefer glass for our packaging and recyclable boxes for our boxes.

Where It All Begins, Kastamonu/Turkey

Indeed, Kastamonu, Valla Canyon is where it all started. When our brand was first established, we obtained a production permit for a Peloid - Bentonite mixture clay that has medical healing properties and a production center was established right under the valley. Even though we have the right to access the detox clay, we extract the clay in limited times of the year and use it in our detox soaps, respecting the resource there. That's why our logo representing our brand is taken from the topographic map of Valla Canyon in Kastamonu, the second deepest canyon in the world, and you can see it transformed into an organic composition in our products. When you look carefully, you can also see an abstract sunset view in the valley.

Production

Our products are created exclusively by our team, with each raw material specially selected. Our own formulas, our control over the raw materials, 100% body-compatible formulas and high efficacy make our products indispensable.


We use only pure plant juices, cold-pressed botanical oils, plant extracts, vegan actives and adaptogens that support the skin structure, and avoid synthetics, chemical preservatives and artificial colors that are incompatible with the skin. We are proud to use ingredients and herbs that are hard to come by and of very high quality.



By working independently, on a human scale, in small batches and in a controlled way, we can guarantee freshness and quality.

Note from our Founder:

I am happy to introduce you to our 100% plant-based and body-compatible products. I am Eda, the founder of the brand. My Turkish origin and my education in different countries in America and Europe have greatly influenced the character of PELCARE. Turkey is one of the rare countries where eastern culture and modern culture intersect. PELCARE was founded with the aim of providing the highest quality and 100% clean herbs from this country with its ancient lands and incredible endemic plants. This journey merged with my personal needs and the brand started to grow. My pregnancy a few years ago completely changed my perspective, enriching our search for plant-based solutions for new mothers and newborns. I focused on presenting the healing powers of nature's plants and actives in the most enjoyable way. I aimed to eliminate unnecessary ingredients and replace them with plant-based ingredients sourced directly from nature. Wherever possible, I strived for products that meet today's needs - local, quality, fully vegan, body-compatible and most importantly sustainable.


The sky is the limit now.
