How M.O.N.N 2&7
began

Dear friends, I am the founder of M.O.N.N 2&7, and I would like to tell you briefly about the path that led me to making natural skincare.

For many years I have lived with Raynaud’s syndrome and scleroderma. It is an autoimmune disease that disrupts circulation, and the skin feels it acutely. My face suffered, but my hands most of all: dry, cracked, sometimes so painful that I could not sleep at night. I tried countless creams, ointments and medicines. Some helped for a while, others not at all. Over time I learned to live with my illness, but I did not give up looking for a way forward. Little by little, that search led me back to my family’s roots.

My mother, grandmother and great-grandmother always knew which herb to pick and when, what it was for, and how to turn it into something that protects the skin from the cold or helps it recover after hard work or illness. They passed this knowledge on from one generation to the next. As a child I took it for granted; as an adult I realised it was a real treasure.

So I began to try it myself. I found the family recipes that had survived, gathered plants, fermented, blended and wrote everything down. I tested every cream and oil on myself, and after a while I noticed that the skin on my hands had truly changed: it became softer, calmer and no longer cracked as it used to. The skin on my face recovered too, with fewer wrinkles. I looked in the mirror and could hardly believe it. That is when I knew I could not keep this to myself. And so M.O.N.N 2&7 was born.

I grow or gather almost all of the plants myself, by hand, in Lithuanian meadows and forests. I dry, ferment and prepare them myself. It is slow work, but I don’t know any other way, and I don’t want one. Every jar holds my patience and care.

I am not on this path alone: my daughter and my husband support me. They use my skincare every day, and when we work together I know that my mother’s and grandmother’s knowledge has not been lost. It travels on, and we hope it will reach your hands too. Give M.O.N.N 2&7 a chance to become part of your daily skincare.

With warmth,

Founder of M.O.N.N 2&7
