Extraction Lab

Based on our deep understanding of herbs and our expertise in innovative extraction methods, we created an in-house, environmentally-friendly, certified Extraction Lab. This was the result of an over five-year collaboration with the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Pharmacy, Section of Pharmacognosy & Natural Products Chemistry.

We use only naturally derived solvents. Any solid residue from the extraction process is composted and returned to the soil as organic fertilizer, while any liquid residue is biologically treated and returned to the water stream—a literally zero-waste operation.

Our goal is to extract and isolate active herbal ingredients to produce clinically effective, high-quality extracts. For example, grape marc from the Assyrtiko variety—a typical by-product of Santorini wineries—becomes a powerful cosmetic ingredient, rich in phenolic compounds.And what about Saffron?


Delicate and unique saffron stigmas are full of precious actives that we have managed to stabilize, preserve, and incorporate into our formulas.

How? By producing and using a 1-day-fresh Greek Saffron extract.
