LIMA COSMETICS

Lima is a natural, vegan studio with roots in the Hungarian lowlands. Founded by Márta Akpinar-Lele in 2016, Lima stands for wonderfully fragrant candles and artisanal quality. LIMA Cosmetics started out as a “one-woman show”: Márta Akpinar-Lele, from Brandenburg, set up a small, refined studio in her hometown in southern Hungary, where she initially made natural soaps and fresh body butter. Today, a team of artisans handcrafts the fragrant products. Carefully blended fragrance compositions and plant-based waxes make the scented candles little favorites for the home.

The vegan scented candles are made from plant-based soy or rapeseed wax sourced in Europe and fitted with either a cotton wick or a crackling wooden wick, depending on the style. Márta works with graphic designers from across Europe to give LIMA products a distinctive look with botanical illustrations. Whether in glass, a gold-colored tin, or a ceramic vessel, the candles pair sensual fragrances with thoughtful details. Classics such as Spa Day, Warm Walnut, and Jasmine are part of the collection, along with new fragrance compositions and gift sets.
