APIVITA Natural Skincare

I was recently send a gorgeous box packed full of APIVITA Natural Skincare Products.



APIVITA was founded in 1979 by two pharmacists, Nikos and Niki Koutsianas who share a passion for nature.  Apivita was the first natural cosmetic company in Greece. The products are inspired by the honey bee, Greek nature and biodiversity, a holistic approach and balance of the body, mind and soul.

There are no SLS, ALES, ALS, Parabens, Petrochemicals, Synthetic Perfumes, GMOs, Animal Derivatives (excluding bees), Animal Testing, Silicones, Propylene Glycol or Synthetic Colours used in the products.


A light and easily absorbed cleanser which is lightly scented.  It easily removes all make up leaving the skin clean and refreshed. Suitable for all skin types. Packed full of good things for the skin - Almond and Olive oils, honey to moisturise, Chamomile and Lavender to soothe along with Propolis which is mildly antiseptic and also has antioxidant action. Apply a couple of pumps to the skin, massage into the skin and remove with cotton pads. No need to rinse.  I have found this cleanser to be really effective at removing make up and daily grime - love it!




This is a light serum which improves the skin's tone and offers radiance while smoothing the surface and revitalising the skin.  It contains Bilberry to improve the tone and luminosity of the skin and Vitamin C reduces discolourations and smooth.  It also contains Propolis, Lycopene, Pomegranate and Rosehip. The serum has an uplifting fruity scent. It contains Orange, Lemon and Neroli Essential Oils which protect against dullness and are uplifting. Use AM and PM before moisturising. Suitable for all skin types. 


This is a super rich cream packed full of good things for lifting and firming the skin.  It's a heavier cream than I'd normally use but my drier winter skin is loving it.  It contains Lupin extract which promotes the production of qualitative collagen. It also helps with firming and elasticity. The cream contains Rice Bran Oil and Beeswax to moisturise with Propolis present for its antioxidant properties. Neroli, Patchouli, Clary Sage and Geranium Essential Oils rejuvenate and uplift. Apply daily to cleansed face and neck.



The other products I received (reviews to follow) are APIVITA Moisturising Hand Cream with Aloe & Honey* (50ml - £7). A light lotion which leaves the skin deeply moisturised and fresh smelling. APIVITA Lip Care with Honey* (4.4g - £6) - a super moisturising balm which softens the lips and APIVITA Face Scrub with Olive* (40ml - £13) a gentle scrub which removes dead skin cells leaving the skin soft and renewed - ideal for normal, combination and oily skin.

APIVITA products can be bought at M&S - there are some nice looking Christmas gifts available - you can see a couple here and here.
