Wooden spoon

Sylvia Pavlova

The Bulgarian brand of white bio-certified cosmetics Wooden spoon was created as a home experiment in Sylvia Pavlova's kitchen in 2014, when she started mixing creams she made from edible ingredients. Later, along with her husband and Yani Dragov – a serial entrepreneur in the bio industry – Sylvia founded the company Orenda Group.

Orenda Group produces organic cosmetics with food-grade ingredients, applying the principle "if you can't eat it, don't put it on your face" and offers its cosmetics under the Wooden Spoon brand on 22 markets. It is the first company in Europe to sell 100% natural sunscreen lotions with innovative transparent zinc. It also uses 100% biodegradable sugar beet packaging.
