About Us

  • WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

    We are involved in the every step of the process, from the harvesting of the olives to the collection of the herbs, to the sealing of our packages, in order to ensure nothing but quality.­ WE LOVE WHAT WE DO so we take pride and work with passion to create exceptional products for our clients!

    Our base oil and our technique differentiate us. ­ Not many oil based cosmetic producers have the ability to harvest their own oil but we do!!! We harvest our own olives from our own fields in Southern Greece.­ We pride ourselves in the acidity levels of our olive oil and ensure exceptional quality by testing our oil before it is used by our boutique. The testing certifies low acidity levels in every drop of oil used to create every product we sell. Why is this important? This ensures that the oils are of exceptional quality so that they do not irritate the skin.­ Our Olive Oil is produced by cold pressing organic olives shortly after they have been collected, to guarantee extremely low acidity and an exceptional quality. It is rated extra virgin and it maintains the highest degree of cosmetic and healing properties.

    In addition, we hand collect all of the herbs used in our products from our own fields located on the mountains of Greece. This allows us to select the freshest, purest and most vibrant herbs for the creation of our products since no fertilizers or pesticides are used for their growth. ­ ­ More importantly, we DO NOT use heat in the creation of our products since heat affects the quality of olive oil and takes away its cosmetic properties. Finally we use no preservatives or artificial colors or perfumes.

  • WHY AN OLIVE OIL BASED PRODUCT LINE?

    According to mythology the Goddess of wisdom Athena, offered the olive tree to the Greeks as a gift. It was useful for light, heat, food, medicine and perfume. Homer called the Olive Oil “liquid gold” and Hippocrates recommended it as medicine, nominating more than sixty different uses.­ Extra virgin olive oil is a natural juice full of flavor and aroma, with high content in antioxidants and vitamins K and E.

  • HEALTH BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL

    Olive Oil is an essential part of a balanced diet. Olive Oil is easily digested and completely absorbed by the digestive system. Olive Oil also contains monounsaturated fat that helps reduce bad cholesterol levels, helps control high blood pressure, aids in the prevention of diabetes and some cancers, while strengthening the immune system.

  • COSMETIC BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL

    The skincare benefits of olive oil have been known for thousands of years. Olive oil is a natural emollient, which is great for the skin, lips, hair, and nails. Its natural content in vitamins E and K and polyphenols make it an excellent beauty product by itself. When used in combination with herbs and resin it makes exceptional cosmetics. These cosmetics can be used as natural moisturizers, for deep conditioning for damaged hair and hair treatment in general, oil massages, soaps, shampoos, as eye makeup remover, wrinkle smoothing and minimizing agent, as a rejuvenator of the skin and nail strengthener.It contains monounsaturated fat that helps reduce bad cholesterol levels.

    The olive oil we produce and sell for eating as well as for the production of our cosmetics as well, can be rated as ultra premium extra virgin according to the lab analysis.

  • WHY THE THEME OF GODDESS APHRODITE IN OUR NAME?

    According to Greek Mythology Aphrodite was the most attractive goddess of Mount Olympus. She was the goddess of Love, Beauty and Eternal Youth, arousing desire of gods and humans as well as birds and beasts. Aphrodite was a goddess so beautiful and divine that flowers sprang upon her every footstep. Aphrodite was the Goddess of Love and Beauty indeed. Her beauty was so striking that very Greek god and goddess was dying to meet her. That is why we named our boutique after her.

    Aphrodite, just like our product line signifies love, beauty and eternal youth.

So what’s our story you ask?

In the early 80’s a young chemical engineering graduate after working for a chemical company for a while, replaced her love for Chemistry with the appreciation for Nature and the Environment.  Moreover, being a lover of Ancient Greece, she became more and more fascinated by the cosmetic and healing powers of Olive Oil and Herbs as utilized in the Cosmetic Art of Ancient Greeks. This fascination resulted in her taking her knowledge and converting it to solutions. She started with making natural products for everyday issues – “Someone had acne.” “The baby has diaper rash”, that she gave to family members. As the years progressed family members were so impressed with the natural solutions that word of mouth soon took these creations to another level. Before she knew it peers, strangers and even veterinarians were demanding her products.

As her venture continued this chemical engineer soon became a godmother. Her goddaughter sought her advice throughout the years as she was growing up and they built a very special relationship. As the goddaughter reached puberty she developed severe acne. The godmother offered natural topical solutions for the acne but the goddaughter declined time after time.

In later years the goddaughter, now an adult college graduate with a sales management career, was fascinated with beauty and the preservation of youth. In her quest to find the best cosmetic solutions she tried almost every product, by every major cosmetic label and spent thousands of dollars doing so. The godmother, a cosmetics artist by now, would make different cosmetic products for her, but the offers were declined again.  The years passed and the goddaughter developed severe eczema and seasonal allergies. She tried various prescriptions and over the counter products BUT NOTHING would help her skin. The skin looked so bad from the patchy dryness that even her esthetician declined to provide her facial services at a regular visit.

At this point the goddaughter felt so ugly because of the stressed skin and frustrated from the lack of solutions. The godmother saw the 30 year old’s face filed with frustration and once again requested that she try one of the moisturizing and conditioning oil solutions.  The godmother said “Wash your face with it and then apply it as a moisturizer as well. Just give it a week.” Feeling hopeless the goddaughter followed the godmother’s  instructions and to her surprise within a week the spots from the eczema had softened and the skin appeared normal again. The goddaughter, with her renewed confidence and curiosity, began trying the other products that her godmother developed.  The more products she tried, the more  impressed she was by their result and she couldn’t stop talking about them.

That’s how it all began. The goddaughter’s passion about the product line was so great she felt the need to make these cosmetic solutions accessible to people who need them. So the two combined their individual talents to create what is now Aphrodite’s Oil Boutique.
