When we decided to realize our plan about production of strictly natural hand-made cosmetics, a part of our surroundings approved this idea with enthusiasm whereas the other part, sceptical one, was convinced that we had been carried away by momentary “healthy lifestyle” trends. However, they had one thing in common: our name was equally intriguing for both parties. That will bring us back to the answer on our first question: why… Illegal lotus Lotus is a symbol of simple but perfect beauty. From ancient times in Far East religions lotus was considered to be a holy flower: immaculate, symbol of eternal life, love, wisdom and spiritual strength. Blue lotus is the most important flower in Egyptian art, culture, religion and mythology. It can decorate any scenery; it grows even in mud, but mud and dirt do not affect its purity. Apart from extraordinary beauty, it has also healing capacity and besides, lotus flowers, seeds and roots are daily used in Asian kitchen. Lotus root goes deep into the ground, the stalk is in the water, leaf in the air, flower turned towards sun. It represents unity and harmony of all elements. Metaphysically, it indicates the course of life which every human being must overcome in order to become aware of his own potentials. In the most perfect way it symbolizes the unbreakable connection between man and nature – and that is in total compliance with our life principles. Illegal Lotus is the synonym for the best natural components which are incorporated in our products and these products, by its characteristics and looks are miles away from any conventional thinking. Natural Cosmetics Our family lives in perfect harmony with the nature respecting all its rules. Although the nature offers all of its resources without exception, a great part of the world replies only with unreasonable destruction. We believe that is such an environment every single contribution in preserving natural balance is very important. We recycle as much as possible and do not pollute; we try to protect the nature and be thankful for all its wonderful gifts which we are able to build in our products. The production of natural cosmetics is logical continuation of our activities. Each member of our family is engaged in manufacturing process. For a long time already we are using only natural cosmetics for personal hygiene. Our products are result of our love for nature and plant world. From the very beginning of our activity we had very distinct goals: to manufacture natural cosmetics of plants and components of the highest quality. Apart from cold pressured organic oils and butters, we add to our natural cosmetics and soaps also natural macerate of healing plants (picking them up and colleting them by ourselves) e.g. marigold, chamomile and confrey macerate. Some of our products contain minimal quantity of preservers, exclusively ecological and those of the best quality. We do not stand for any compromise whatsoever because we cherish honest and sincere relations with our customers. Consequently, we will always offer the products made of the best components, according to the original recipe, with joyous and amusing appearance that makes you smile. Our biggest motivation is enjoyment in manufacturing procedure knowing that final product will have beneficial effect on human health, that it will be of an appealing design and capable to enrich everyday life. We truly love and believe in our work and hope that you will recognize it. Jewelry Illegal Lotus Art jewelry aims to create a connection with Mother Nature and to transfer its endless beauty, strength and wisdom to those persons who recognize and wear our ornaments. Therefore we make use of the gifts that Mother Nature is generously giving us: semi-precious stones, metals, clays, plants, seeds, natural and antique materials such as silk, flax, hemp… and we are always inspired by the strength of amazing energy and love that we are given. All the materials we use have their particular metaphysical meaning and role but we dare to believe that our love creates a synergy which surpasses all material components. We believe in and support all those persons who are searching for Soul, all the healers of this beautiful planet, we respect the Wild Woman and Wild Man and above all, we love immensely this home of ours among the stars – our majestic Gaea. We create the objects which fill our souls with joy, they help us to learn and grow, and they come from the place called Love. Illegal Lotus Art reminds us that we all are sacred beings, loved and supported by our Mother and strongly bonded with invisible treads. These treads become alive when we feel and accept the beauty of creation.

Kada smo ideju o proizvodnji ručno rađene potpuno prirodne kozmetike odlučili sprovesti u djelo, kako to obično biva, naše se okruženje podijelilo u dva tabora. Istomišljenici su s oduševljenjem odobravali veliki obiteljski entuzijazam, dok su skeptici tvrdili kako je riječ o samo još jednom podilaženju trendovima zdravog života. Međutim, ono što je svima bilo krajnje intrigantno je – naše ime. Tako dolazimo i do odgovora na prvo pitanje: zašto … Illegal lotus Lotos je simbol jednostavne ali savršene ljepote, kojeg još od davnina u dalekoistočnim religijama smatraju svetim cvijetom neokaljane čistoće, vječitog života, ljubavi, mudrosti i duhovne snage. Plavi lotos je središnji cvijet egipatske umjetnosti, kulture, religije i mitologije. Uljepšat će svaki krajolik jer raste i u blatu, ne primivši na sebe ni kap mulja. Osim iznimne ljepote, lotos je i ljekovit, a narodi Azije od davnina u svakodnevnoj prehrani koriste cvjetove, sjemenke i stabljike korijena. Korijen lotosa je duboko u zemlji, stabljika u vodi, list u zraku, a cvijet je okrenut ka suncu. Lotos predstavlja jedinstvo svih elemenata, a metaforički ukazuje na životni put kojeg svaka osoba mora proći da bi spoznala svoje najveće potencijale. Savršeno simbolizira neraskidivu vezu čovjeka i prirode, što se u potpunosti poklapa s našim životnim načelima. Illegal Lotus je sinonim za najkvalitetnije prirodne sastojke iz kojih nastaju proizvodi koji su i svojstvima i izgledom, miljama daleko od bilo kakvog konvencionalnog razmišljanja. Prirodna kozmetika Naša obitelj živi u dubokom skladu s prirodom i iznimno poštujemo sve prirodne zakonitosti. Priroda nam tako velikodušno daje sva svoja bogatstva, a većina svijeta joj za te dobrobiti uzvraća bezrazložnim osvetničkim uništavanjem. Vjerujući kako je u vremenu destrukcije svaki pojedinačni doprinos u očuvanju prirodne ravnoteže važan, mi recikliramo sve što možemo i ne zagađujemo okoliš, a prema prirodi se odnosimo zaštitnički, iznova joj se zahvaljujući na svim prekrasnim darovima iz kojih nastaju naši proizvodi. Proizvodnja prirodne kozmetike se tako nadovezala kao logični slijed događaja. Svaki član naše obitelji daje svoj doprinos u proizvodnji, a svi godinama koristimo prirodnu kozmetiku za osobnu higijenu. Naši proizvodi nastali su iz velike ljubavi prema prirodi i biljnom svijetu. Od početka smo si postavili jasne ciljeve i proizvodimo prirodnu kozmetiku od isključivo biljnih i dokazano najkvalitetnijih sastojaka. Uz hladno prešana organska ulja i maslace, našoj prirodnoj kozmetici i sapunima dodajemo prirodne macerate ljekovitog bilja koje same sakupljamo, poput macerata nevena, kamilice i gaveza. Neki naši proizvodi sadrže minimalne količine konzervansa nužnog za očuvanje trajnosti, ali i tada koristimo isključivo najkvalitetniji ekološki konzervans. Ne pristajemo na nikakve kompromise i njegujemo pošten i iskren odnos prema svim našim kupcima. Stoga ćemo vam uvijek nuditi proizvode spravljene od najkvalitetnijih sastojaka i po originalnoj recepturi, veselog i razdraganog izgleda koji će vam iznova izmamiti osmijeh na usne. Naša najveća motivacija je užitak u svakom trenutku kojeg provedemo u stvaranju proizvoda koji blagotvorno djeluju na ljudsko zdravlje, a uz to svojim maštovitim dizajnom obogaćuju svakodnevicu. Istinski vjerujemo i volimo to što radimo i nadamo se kako ćete i vi to prepoznati. Nakit Nakit Illegal Lotus Art stvoren je sa željom da se spoji s duhom Majke Zemlje i prenese njenu beskrajnu ljepotu, snagu i mudrost na sve koji ga prepoznaju i nose. Zato koristimo darove koje nam Majka Zemlja nesebično pruža: poludrago kamenje, metale, glinu, biljke, sjemenke, prirodne i antikne materijale poput svile, lana, konoplje … uvijek inspirirani snagom prekrasne energije ljubavi kojom smo obavijeni. Svi materijali kojima se služimo imaju svoje zasebno metafizičko značenje i ulogu, ali se usuđujemo vjerovati da je naša ljubavna nakana proizvela sinergiju koja seže iznad samih sastojaka. Mi vjerujemo i podržavamo sve tragaoce za Dušom, sve iscjelitelje ove divne planete, poštujemo Divlju Ženu i Divljeg Muškarca, a iznad svega cijelim svojim srcem bezgranično volimo ovaj dom među zvijezdama – našu veličanstvenu Gaiu. Stvaramo predmete koji ispunjavaju naše duše radošću, kroz koje učimo i rastemo, koji dolaze iz mjesta Ljubavi. Illegal Lotus Art nas podsjeća da smo svi mi sveta bića, uvijek podržana i voljena od strane naše Majke, duboko međusobno povezani skrivenim nitima. Te niti oživljavamo kada osjećamo i prihvaćamo ljepotu stvaranja.
