Activated charcoal Soap

Activated Charcoal Soap

Activated charcoal is superior in absorbing and holding substances from the air and water as compared to other forms of charcoal. To activate charcoal, it goes through a special patented procedure that involves steam injection into powdered charred plant stalks. This exposes the tiny hidden crevices and cracks inside charcoal expanding its capacity to absorb and adsorb. The resulting process can increase its surface area from 600 to 1200 square meters for every 1 gram of charcoal. One of the most important characteristics of activated charcoal is its ability to ‘absorb’ just as well both organic and inorganic materials. It can attract and retain any harmful chemicals and impurities and store it within tiny spaces on its surface, making it an amazing material for cleansing the skin deeply.

Goat Milk Soap

Goat Milk Soap

From the days of Cleopatra, milk has been used as a luxurious moisturizer. Goat's milk contains proteins, amino acids and Vitamin A to nourish the skin. Goat milk consists of natural emollients and triglycerides that act as natural moisturizer. 

It is known that goat milk can reduce skin inflammation, and soothes dry and damaged skin. Can reduce wrinkles and delay signs of skin aging. Goat’s milk soap has alpha-hydroxy acids that soften the skin by breaking down the glue that holds dead skin cells together. Goat’s milk has the closest PH level to our skin. This helps protect our skin from invading bacteria and chemicals.

Goat Milk Soap

Benefits of Goat Milk

Delays signs of skin aging: Goat's milk soap delays signs of skin aging due to its high content of alpha-hydroxy acids such as lactic acid. Alpha-hydroxy acids break down dead skin cell bonds, removing dead skin cells from the skin's surface and leaving behind new cells on the surface that appear smoother and more youthful. 

Not a chemical counterfeit: Water-based soaps on mainstream supermarket shelves use harsh chemical acids to break down dead skin cells. The lasting effect of chemical acids on the skin is more similar to a chemical "burn." Alpha hydroxyl acids found in goat's milk, work with skin instead of breaking it down and aging it further.


Anti-inflammatory properties:Goat's milk reduces skin inflammation due to its fat molecule content. The cream present in goat's milk is a moisturizer, soothing dry and
damaged skin, possessing an anti-inflammatory effect. Loaded with essentials: Goat's milk is packed full of essential nutrients and vitamins like vitamin D, C, B1, B6, B12, and E, that feed the skin and are absorbed into the body.

Treats acne:Studies now show that goat's milk is effective for treating acne and skin conditions. This is primarily because goat's milk has anti-bacterial properties that delay the growth of microbial organisms that spur the spread of acne.

The Magical Greek Herbs

Greece is blessed with an abundance of wild herbs, flowers and plants many of them indigenous, extremely rare and unique in taste and potency. There are at least 1800 endemic species and subspecies of plants that are aromatic and medicinal and at least 300 of these can be used for various commercial purposes. This means that in recent years there has been an increased interest in cultivating some of these herbs organically.

This richness and diversity of flora is due to the country’s Mediterranean climate and geological formations (Mountains, gorges, valleys, rivers and islands). The high quality of herbs is mainly due to the long periods of sunshine and luck of rain! These conditions oblige the plants to produce big quatinties of essential oils to survive. Research has shown that the medicinal properties of the Mediterranean herbs are higher than those growing in other parts of the world.

Greek Herbs

The names of herbs, their qualities and use have been passed on from generation to generation as a legacy that blended with mythology, traditions and home recipes or remedies.

Almost every place in Greece is known for some particular herbs that are “magical,” to those less familiar with the healing qualities of the plants and their fruits.

Each season of the year has its own herbs. In winter time, as the human body needs to fight off the cold and humidity, dozens of herbs can protect the immune system from various infections. Aromatic herbs, such as Mountain Tea (Sideritis), Tilia, Sage, Chamomile and Thyme, are some of the most common to find in Greek homes during winter.
