About MACROVITA
The idea
A range of high-quality cosmetics, naturally contributing to the longevity of health and beauty!
MACROVITA logo is composed of the classic Greek prefix “macro”, demonstrating a long time period, and the well-known Latin word “vita”, meaning life. This combination is further complemented by the famous Asiatic symbol “yin-yang”, representing physical and mental balance.
MACROVITA is, therefore, the source of longevity. Following the ancient beauty and health secrets of Mediterranean and Far-East cultures. Harmonizes these traditions with modern scientific research, technology and the contemporary ecological view towards the natural world.
‘’We foresaw the global shift towards natural living and the growing ecological consciousness among people.’’
Elsa & George Vassilakakis
Founders
NATURE
The most high-quality and pure ingredients are found in nature.
The love and trust of MACROVITA people in the peaceful power of nature, as well as their close relationship with two extremely interesting science divisions, Homeopathy and Apitherapy, have led to the standardization and circulation of the first natural products. Continuous research on the properties and capabilities of different plant ingredients has quickly led to the development of highly effective cosmetic applications. R&D is pursued with undiminished interest!
The products
MACROVITA, since 1984, has been actively engaged in two primary sectors:
