The Zagreb Innovators’ Association awarded Control 365 Insert Aqua Cream, formulated with water from a Swiss glacier, as the Best Zagreb Innovation of 2021, and presented the annual Eduard Slavoljub Penkala Award to its creator, MPharm. Mirjana Brlečić.
To honour the renowned Croatian inventor, Ing. Eduard Slavoljub Penkala, the Zagreb Innovators’ Association established the annual E.S. Penkala Award in 1993 to recognise the best Zagreb innovation.
The purpose of the award is to promote inventive work in the city, support the creativity of leading innovators and celebrate the legacy of Eduard Slavoljub Penkala. It is awarded annually with the financial support of the City Office for Education, Culture and Sports.
This award first recognised the creator of the Nikel cosmetic line, Mirjana Brlečić, MPharm, early in her career in 2008 for “NiKEL, Croatian Haute Couture – natural cosmetics with a pharmacist’s signature.”
In 2021, Mirjana Brlečić once again received this prestigious honour for her innovative CONTROL 365 - INSERT AQUA 24-hour hydration cream, crafted with pure Swiss glacier water.
User experiences
Best of all, for my very sensitive skin that is always missing something. I don't have enough words of praise. Well done Nikel!
I love this cream!
With this cream, I use evening primrose oil and eye oil. My skin has become brighter and softer! I am very satisfied.
I finally found the perfect cream! Extremely hydrating, and non-homogeneous, perfect texture. I have combination and dehydrated facial skin that results in dryness on oily or combination skin cosmetics, and often reacts to dry / dehydrated skin creams by breaking out pimples as a result of clogging pores or simply “lying down” on the skin without visible hydration. I’ve tried all sorts of textures and uses, from well-known pharmacy brands, through acclaimed natural to ultra-expensive acclaimed ones, tired of studying ingredients, researching, and wasting money. Although I have known about this brand for a long time, I have not tried their products until recently. Very little information and product reviews can be found online (by which I choose what to buy, given the sea of brands and products today) and I think that given the quality and the huge rewards there is not enough media attention. I'm sorry I didn't decide to try your cosmetics before. In addition to this cream, I must also praise evening primrose oil, which I sometimes use before, and an eye serum with an ideal mild texture. I warmly recommend all three products to girls / women reading these reviews.
