Modern Greek Beauty: Four Houses to Know
From botanicals bottled at source to actives with Mediterranean restraint — meet the Greek skincare makers redefining ritual as a sense of place.
There’s a new rhythm to Greek beauty — slower, more sensory, and rooted in land and sea. These makers don’t chase trends; they distill place. Olive leaf and citrus peel, mountain tea and sea salt — each bottle is a field note from the Mediterranean.
“Less laboratory, more landscape — Greek skincare that feels like a breeze off the Aegean.”
Aeolis — Botanicals, Sea Air, Serenity
Clean lines, sunlit formulas, and a distinctly Mediterranean calm. Think olive oil, citrus, and herbal extracts designed for daily ease — a routine that feels like stepping onto a balcony at golden hour.
Why we reach for it: intuitive textures, quietly luxurious scents, and a “skin-first” approach gentle enough for every day.
DOS Cosmetics — Actives, the Greek Way
Clinical-grade thinking meets Mediterranean restraint. Targeted serums and smart hydrators that do the heavy lifting without the drama — peptides, vitamins, and moisture systems built for calm, steady results.
Why we reach for it: visible payoff, minimal fuss — ideal for a three-step ritual that still feels elevated.
Oriad — A Ritual of Renewal
Rooted in balance, Oriad captures the freshness of mountain herbs and the clarity of spring water. The toner is light, mineral-rich, and restorative — a reset for skin that’s weathered sun, salt, or city life.
Why we reach for it: the clean, refreshing finish and subtle herbal lift make it the ideal first step — grounding and invigorating in equal measure.
Kyklos — Skincare in Circles
Kyklos approaches skin through cycles — protect, replenish, rebuild — with formulas that echo the rhythm of Greek islands: simple, potent, and purposeful. Expect balanced hydration, gentle actives, and textures that disappear into the skin.
Why we reach for it: effortless layering and a calm, conditioned finish — it plays beautifully with the rest of a minimalist routine.
Build Your Greek Ritual
Keep it elemental: cleanse, treat, moisturize. Choose botanicals in season, actives that earn their place, and textures that feel like summer even in midwinter. Your routine should read like a slow inhale.
