Astrology for plants
The English physician, astrologer and botanist Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654) studied plants in relation to astrology and believed that diseases could be treated with plants corresponding to the opposite planet.
About us
Green Wing has created products that bring the presence of nature into every room and into your beauty routine. You're in the right place - this is where the most natural face and body care products are made.
My name is Ance Dandena
I am the creator and product developer of Green Wing Paleo Skincare. I have a Master's degree in Chemistry and work experience in large Latvian pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics companies.
An inner protest against the marketing and consumption-driven production industry has increasingly led me to look for alternative solutions and to follow my own path - to listen more to myself, to my heart and to live in harmony with nature. So I traded my salaried job for my heart's calling - to translate the wealth of medicinal plants I have learnt about and their health-promoting effects on people into rich cosmetic products.
The beginning
These products contain ancient knowledge from the beginning of humanity - the Paleolithic period of the Stone Age. From a time when conversations with nature spirits and plant essences were a daily occurrence, when the collection and use of herbs was commonplace and the importance of herbal healing was never questioned. We know that every plant has its own character and soul. When we interact with it in any way - smelling, tasting, smudging - our genetic memory remembers its origins, activates our ability to regenerate, responds more resiliently to stressful situations and is able to connect more easily with the subconscious. Hear yourself through nature!
Be in nature
21st century man is exposed to the harmful effects of the environment, unhealthy diets and stress that bring toxins and chemicals into our bodies every day. That's why each of us deserves natural skin care, without worrying about the composition of products and relying on nature's healing touch. Green Wing concentrates the best of Latvian nature - every bowl has the scent of a meadow in bloom, the rustle of the forest and the warmth of the sun. Like a green wing, Green Wing brings freedom, primordiality and respect for all living things. Open up to your senses and to a natural experience with Green Wing cosmetics!

Labākā nagu eļļiņa kas man bijusi. beidzot izdevās atrisināt saplaisājušu ienadžu problēmu. Eļļa pietiks ilgam laikam, jo ļoti liels iepakojums.
Ļoti interesanta un patīkama smarža! Patīkami iesūcas ķermenī, un ķermenis tiešām tiek mitrināts!
Lietoju jau kādu mēnesi un man ļoti patīk. Labi iesūcas sejas ādā, patīkami smaržo. Man kā sausas un jutīgas ādas īpašniecei nav pat nepieciešams papildus krēms.
Vienmēr ir patikuši šie ziedūdeņi! Pirmo reizi pamēģināju tieši šo, un esmu ļoti apmierināta. Noteikti sūtīšu vēl!
Ļoti patīk aromāts un sajūta pēc lietošanas
Bez aveņu ziedūdens es vairs nevaru iedomāties savu ikdienu. Ja no rīta nenotīru seju ar to, tad liekas, ka staigāju netīru muti
Mana ikrīta duša sejai! Lieliska, smaržīga! Lai Jums veicas! Un paldies par dāvaniņu!
“GREEN WING” produkciju iegādājos jau kādu laiciņu. Kopš pirmo reizi pamēģināju, sapratu, ka perfekti. Man ir kombinēta tipa āda un meža aveņu ziedūdens man der perfekti. Tas tonizē ādu, atsvaidzina un nekairina, jo man ir ļoti jutīga āda. Paldies Jums 🫶🏻
Ļoti viegla, patīkama smarža. Atsvaidzina!
Smarža vidēji izteikta, bet konsistence ļoti bieza, kad uzklāj, tad ilgi ir mīkstas lūpas un nevajag atjaunot. Ātri novērsa sasprēgājušas lūpas.
Burvīgs produkts. Smaržo dabīgi.

Collecting plants according to the lunar calendar
According to the lunar calendar, the above-ground parts of the plant are best harvested in the waxing month, and everything below ground in the waning month, because by the full moon the energy flow in the plant is moving upwards, towards the top of the plant, and all the power and goodness of the plant is in the leaves.
