The Production

Turkey has a geography that hosts one of the richest collections of endemic species in the world. With over 3,000 endemic plant species, some of them can only be found in Anatolia, Turkey. We can access the highest quality endemic plants in Kastamonu, which is home to numerous endemic species, thanks to the university's plant professors who guide us in the most accurate way.

Valla Canyon, Kastamonu

The inspiration of our symbol is the "Valla Canyon", the second deepest canyon of the world in Kastamonu, Turkey, where PELCARE's production is based. Geometric shapes were taken from the topographic map of Valla Canyon and turned into an organic composition. If you look at it carefully, you can also see an abstractly a sunset landscape in the valley.

With a focus on the delivering 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. At every point possible, I strived for local, high-quality, fully vegan, body compatible and the most importantly sustainable products that meet the needs of today.
