Who we are?

Hi!

We are Rima and Mantas, a family that cherishes old traditions in the production of natural cosmetics Evija.

Evija.lt history

Evija’s story began with Manto’s grandfather Teodoras Bitvinskas. He was a child with a keen mind, a curious, curious child, he loved to read, he was especially interested in nature. That desire to get to know Lithuanian forests led him to graduate in biological sciences, to become a scientist, and later to defend his doctoral dissertation on forestry.
He devoted most of his life to the study of coniferous trees. Later, in the Botanical Garden of Vytautas Magnus University, he established the first dendroclimatochronology laboratory, which he headed.
During his career as a researcher, he has written and published more than 140 scientific articles and theses on climate and tree growth.

It was this man who, believing in the power of nature and the healing power of trees, discovered by accident and unexpectedly in historical sources the recipe for Lithuanian folk ointment, which over time was patented and perfected to the current composition of the protective cream Evija.
Reading, taking an interest in and making Evia cream was his passion and hobby. It has come a long way from finding a recipe to customizing it for use. He passed on all his experience and knowledge to the Manto family, and now to us.
It is only because of his perseverance and faith that the protective cream Evija “Absolutely Natural” is as it is today.
With great faith, he gave away a craft that we have cultivated and nurtured for more than 20 years, which we still call his baby.
We would very much like Him to grow and improve as He is near us and be able to enjoy Him with Him …
We believe that He watches over and sustains us from above. Manto’s grandfather had a dream that the protective cream Evija would be in the home pharmacy of every Lithuanian family …
We know that we will do our best to make this dream come true.
When manufacturing Evija cosmetics, we focus on product quality, so we manufacture all products ourselves in accordance with the highest production standards. We produce sustainably, using only recyclable packaging, we do not use secondary packaging boxes, thus contributing to the preservation of nature. We carefully select the suppliers of raw materials in this way, using only the highest quality ingredients, the main ones being spruce resin and beeswax.
Keeping the old traditions, as the grandfather taught, we collect spruce resins ourselves. We buy beeswax only from organic farms that have a quality label certificate. It is because of these components that we guarantee a 3-year shelf life for our products.
