Zūka Essentials, the London body care brand founded by Katarina kupcikova.

Advocate for self-love and positive rituals for a clearer mind and healthy body, her passion for wellness and beauty led her to create a collection of non-toxic/100% organic body care products using all-natural ingredients- including pearl powder, the ancient beauty secret. Born in Slovakia and raised in Canada, Katarina Kupcikova’s commitment to holistic living made her feel strongly that ‘luxury,’ ‘efficacy,’ and ‘clean’ don’t have to be a contradiction when it comes to exceptional body care products.

Zūka Essentials adopts a holistic approach to beauty, the brand is committed to providing a high-quality and all-natural alternative to traditional beauty brands.
