Many people living in Canada travel to Turkey during the summer. And if you’re planning to go in June, we’d like to recommend something that may not be in most travel guides: Visit the rose gardens in Isparta. You may have heard of Turkey’s beaches, its historical landmarks, and big cities like Istanbul and Izmir. But there is a quieter, more peaceful side of Turkey waiting to be discovered—and it’s full of roses. Where Is Isparta, and Why Is It Special? Isparta is a small city located in the southwest of Turkey. It’s not far from Antalya or Pamukkale, and many people pass nearby without realizing what’s there. Isparta is often called the rose capital of Turkey. Every year in June, the area’s rose fields come into bloom. The air fills with the gentle scent of Rosa Damascena, one of the most valued rose species in the world. These roses are used to make rose oil, rose water, and many natural skin care products. But more than the products, it’s the experience that makes Isparta special. What Happens During Rose Season? The rose season in Isparta is short—just about four weeks. The roses...

  In our fast-paced world, we often forget to breathe—truly breathe. Our minds race, our bodies tire, and yet we rarely pause to notice our breath. Breath therapy is a powerful tool for reconnecting with ourselves, supporting both emotional balance and physical well-being. When combined with high-frequency, plant-based supports like rose oil and non-deoiled rose water, the effects of breathwork deepen, becoming both sensory and healing. 🌿 Breath and Awareness: The Foundation of Mind-Body Medicine Breath is one of the few bodily systems that is both automatic and voluntary. We can’t consciously slow our heartbeat, but we can slow our breath. Like blinking, breathing can be both unconscious and conscious. This makes breath a direct link between the mind and body. Without awareness, breathwork remains shallow. But when practiced mindfully, it can support: Immune health Cardiovascular regulation Mental clarity Emotional stability Even skin vitality 🌬️ The Science Behind Deep, Conscious Breathing Slow, deep breathing activates the para...

  🌿 Clear, Radiant Skin Starts with Smarter Ingredients In the world of cosmetic dermatology, the desire for bright, even-toned, and healthy skin has led to exciting innovations in hyperpigmentation care. At the center of this movement is a powerful, plant-derived compound: alpha-arbutin. 🔬 What Is Arbutin and How Does It Help? Arbutin is a natural polyphenol extracted from certain plants. Its most potent form, alpha-arbutin, works by inhibiting tyrosinase—the enzyme responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that darkens the skin. By reducing melanin production, arbutin helps: Fade dark spots Brighten the overall complexion Create a more even, luminous skin tone 🌸 Targeted Treatment: Akita Anti-Pigmentation Face Serum Akita’s Anti-Pigmentation Face Serum is specially formulated with alpha-arbutin to address pigmentation concerns directly. Its clear mission: ✅ Visibly reduce dark spots ✅ Illuminate and refresh dull skin ✅ Promote a smooth, even-toned complexion But the magic doesn’t stop there. 💧 Synergy with Non-Deoile...

An Exclusive Interview with Burhan Kılıç, Founder of Akita Natural Products 📍 How It All Started: A Vision Rooted in Isparta Akita’s journey began in 1993—not in cosmetics, but in tourism. As the first officially licensed travel agency in Isparta, we proudly represented Turkish Airlines for over 15 years. However, with the rise of digital transformation, we foresaw the decline of traditional travel agencies. Our background in engineering and analytics pushed us toward innovation. Being based in Isparta, home to the world-renowned Rosa Damascena roses, we naturally gravitated toward rose-based production. But for us, roses weren't just agricultural assets—they were cultural heritage. We noticed that the rose water available on the market lacked in quality and failed to meet international standards. This gap inspired us to take a scientific approach to production, supported by partnerships with cosmetic labs in Canada, France, and Germany, and aromatherapy experts in the Netherlands and Taiwan. Long before R&D became a trend in Turkey, we embraced it as our foundation. 🌸 Why Isparta? The Strategic Role of Location Isparta’s unique microc...
