Known colloquially as the “city of spas,” it’s no wonder Budapest is home to some of the best skincare ingredients in the world.
During the Turkish occupation of the city in the 16th century, Ottoman bathing customs became entrenched in the culture of the Hungarian capital. Before entering the bathhouse, a central fountain was a place for socializing or relaxing.
Today Budapest has more than 100 thermal springs, each rich in minerals that your skin can benefit from. Hungarian thermal waters are close to the earth’s core due to its thin crust, which leads to seepage of minerals into the water supply.
The Omorovicza family built the city’s first thermal bath in the 1800s and still stands today as Racz Furdo. Fast forward to 2006 and Stephen de Heinrich de Omorovicza and his wife Margaret embark on a quest to continue their family’s quest for skin healing.
To bring the steaming, hot, mineral-rich waters of the Budapest baths to your bathroom closet, check out these 10 products from cult beauty brand Omorovicza below. From serums to shimmering golden oils, these nutrient-rich skincare products are backed by centuries of Hungarian beauty wisdom.
