Established in Sweden since 1943.

The Marja Entrich Biocosmetic Skin Care Green Line is one of the first European skin care companies to have developed a "Green" philosophy. Based on both a healthy respect for the environment, as well as for life, we believe in producing our own products to the highest quality possible, without forsaking the natural world. We are presently servicing our third generation of Nordic families, and our name here in Europe and the rest of the world is rapidly becoming
synonymous with the kind of skincare products that today's more aware customers require. All our products are biodegradable, they contain no colouring, all are also pH balanced, and the products are not tested on animals. And we are rightly proud of our long-standing experience and knowledge of easy to use natural skin care - for today's demanding, sometimes stressful lifestyle.

Marja Entrich arrived as an 11-year-old from Latvia to Sweden in connection with the Russian Revolution. Her father owned an apron factory in a town close to Riga. When the revolution broke out he was in Stockholm on a business trip and the family was not reunited until five years later.

Marja Entrich is an internationally prized skin therapist. She was trained to become a skin therapist in the Clytia institute in Paris in 1925. After that Marja Entrich has worked in Germany and France and as a clinical department supervisor at a clinic in Tel Aviv for eight years with Helena Rubenstein´s products.

In 1939 Marja Entrich returned to Sweden and in 1943 she opened the Marja Entrich Clinic on Skeppargatan 11 in Stockholm, where it remains to this day and is owned by Marja Entrich AB - Gun and Timo Tammerlöv.

In the clinic Marja Entrich developed the skin care products according to the customers needs. She had begun to collect the biological recipes when she was abroad and which were then developed in co-operation with chemists. Marja Entrich believes that what you use on your skin you should be able to eat.


Marja Entrich made great progress in the treatment of different skin defects. She helped many with a combination of the right skin care and a proper diet. Marja Entrich also worked with the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm which referred many of its difficult patients to the Marja Entrich clinic.

Marja Entrich led the way in Sweden in many areas, such as the declaration of contents, water soluble cleansers and pH balanced products.

The products in Marja Entrich Green Line Collection only contain biological raw materials. All raw materials are grown biodynamically and are selected with the greatest care. They are biodegradable. No tests on animal are carried out. If you have felt the difference between a nylon garment and a pure cotton garment you know the difference between synthetics and natural materials. A biological cream allows the skin to breath. A biological skin cleanser cleans deeply and does not leave a residue on the skin. The series consists of around 35 skin and hair care

Many companies have been quick to jump on the "Green" bandwagon and have claimed all sorts of miracle cures and remedies. Marja Entrich Green Line have been "Green" for over fifty years.

Marja Entrich, who developed the range in 1943, firmly believed that the route to cosmetic perfection lay in the principles of Mother Nature and the reverence of harmony and balance. With the backcloth of the Swedish healthy approach to life, and respect for the environment, she developed a range of products based on natural sources which were pure, refreshing, effective, yet simple and pleasant to use.

Marja Entrich was in fact something of a phenomenon - her ideas were well before her time. Doctors soon heard of her success with her clients, and how she was able to help them with her "own formula" creams and lotions.

Marja Entrich claimed that the skin was able to accept natural ingredients far more easily than those which were chemically produced.
The demand for her products flourished, and Marja Entrich soon founded the "Small Laboratory with the Big Ideas". Recognition of her pioneering work led to her twice receiving the CIDESCO Gold Medal for outstanding contribution to the Cosmetology and Skin Care Industry. This incredible lady who just recently passed away in her nineties, her own skin was a remarkable testimony to her own product range.

A great deal has happened since 1943, and today, a dedicated team of Naturopaths, Skin Therapists and Chemists continue to improve, and develop the product range, while keeping within the constraints of Marja Entrich philosophy. Technology has enabled many changes, but the basic ingredients of the products are the same.

Marja Entrich Green Line is now world wide success story, and is a result of the combined determination. Their respect for Marja Entrich is extensive. Wherever they travel to promote the Marja Entrich Green Line range, they do it with enthusiasm and integrity. They do not preach, they sell on the basis of Marja Entrich´s own beliefs, of harmony, balance and nature.
