Dzintars

Dzintars is a Latvian cosmetics brand from Riga. Its history goes back to 1849, when the soap maker H.A. Brieger opened a perfume factory in the city. The old company went bankrupt in 2019, and since 2020 the brand and the factory have belonged to SIA H.A.Brieger, which is part of the Estonian Skinest Group. The company kept the historic name for the factory and the name Dzintars, Latvian for amber, for the products.

Products

• Lip balms, hair care, sun protection, shower gels and hand soap
• The universal cream Nīca
• Two toothpaste lines developed in the company's own laboratory since 2022
• Hypno Pharma, a body care collection for relaxation and sleep

Products returned to shops in Latvia in March 2021, followed by Lithuania, Estonia and Georgia.

The historic factory stood on Stabu iela in Riga. Since the restart the company has invested in new formulas, with the stated aim that its products contain at least 95 percent natural ingredients. In 2025 it announced investments of more than 30,000 euros in its Asari toothpaste line and of more than 45,000 euros in toothpaste for children.
