Mirka Tahvanainen – The Heart and Founder of the Brand
Entrepreneur and mother Mirka Tahvanainen is a true expert in the beauty industry, with over 18 years of experience in the field. In 2007, she founded her own beauty salon, which she successfully operated for eight years. This experience gave her profound insight into salon operations and industry needs, making her an exceptionally dedicated cosmetics importer who truly understands the everyday challenges of beauty salons and the expectations of their customers.
Mirka's career has been filled with impressive achievements. She began working as a professional brand trainer in 2010 and spent five years educating others on a wide range of topics, including ingredient knowledge, skin functions, beauty devices, facial treatments, massages, and sugaring. This experience has made her a versatile and highly skilled professional, whose passion for beauty care remains unwavering.
In 2015, she founded her own import company with the goal of bringing only the highest quality and most effective skincare products to the Finnish market.
Through all these experiences, Mirka has gained a profound understanding of the skin and its functions. She has an exceptional knowledge of skin needs and how it reacts to different ingredients, making her a highly skilled and insightful cosmetics developer. Her expertise also extends to ingredient selection—she knows exactly which ingredients benefit the skin and why.
In 2024, Mirka reached the most significant milestone of her career when she developed and launched No Niin Cosmetics – a completely Finnish and unique cosmetics line designed to meet even the highest expectations.
No Niin Cosmetics is the flagship of Finnish cosmetics, combining the latest technology with natural ingredients in an unprecedented way. The brand’s bi-phase serums are a true innovation, where a hydrating sap-based phase and a nourishing oil-based phase blend to provide the perfect balance for skincare. These products are handcrafted in Tampere using carefully selected ingredients, 98.9% of which are of Finnish origin—a figure that makes them uniquely both eco-friendly and highly effective.
Additionally, No Niin Cosmetics is the first cosmetic brand to utilize alginate developed and produced in Finland, as well as spruce sugar derived from side streams of the forestry industry. These ingredients are not only innovative but also extremely effective—allowing the products to deliver unique results you won’t find anywhere else.
Mirka is extremely proud of this achievement.
"No Niin Cosmetics is more than just a product line – it is a tribute to Finnish expertise and the beauty that emerges when we combine nature, science, and craftsmanship. Each product is designed with love and precision to meet the needs of our customers."
Mirka continues to serve as the head trainer for all the brands she represents, eagerly sharing her expertise. Her goal is to make beauty care high-quality, effortless, and, above all, inspiring—for both professionals and consumers alike.
In her free time, Mirka enjoys the thrill of speed through motocross with her 15-year-old son, Oskari. Her family also includes a 3-year-old dog, Pete, and her partner, Juha. Family, cosmetics, and animals are the cornerstones of Mirka’s life, keeping her constantly on the move.
