Rooted in the
Pannonian Landscape

Aqua Profunda is born inside the Special Nature Reserve "Gornje Podunavlje" — one of Serbia's most significant protected wetland areas, recognised under the Ramsar Convention. Bezdan sits at its heart, where floodplain forests, oxbow lakes, and open meadows create a pristine, biodiverse ecosystem virtually untouched by industrial agriculture.

This protected status is not just a backdrop — it is the foundation of our quality. Soil untreated by synthetic inputs for generations, surrounded by living wetland corridors, yields a Helichrysum italicum of rare aromatic depth. Our EU Organic certification is the natural extension of where we already are.

We are a vertically integrated botanical brand. From certified seedling to distillate, every stage happens on our land — ensuring full traceability, rigorous quality control, and a story that no other producer can replicate.

Helichrysum
italicum

Known across Europe as Immortelle — the everlasting flower — Helichrysum italicum is one of the most sought-after botanicals in natural luxury skincare and aromatherapy. Its essential oil contains rare compounds prized for regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties.

Growing at the northern edge of its range, within the Special Nature Reserve "Gornje Podunavlje" — nicknamed the Amazon of Europe for its extraordinary biodiversity — gives our Immortelle a distinct aromatic and chemical profile, shaped by long Pannonian summer days, high water-table soil, and the living ecosystem of floodplain forests and oxbow lakes that surrounds the crop on every side.
