Natural cosmetics with organic olive oil under the trademark MACROVITA-OLIVE·ELIA
Our company
Established in 1984, MACROVITA designs, develops, produces and trades the homonymous natural cosmetics based on sophisticated combinations of vegetable oils or plant extracts, bee origin substances and natural vitamins. In 1998, MACROVITA was the first to introduce cosmetics containing olive oil as an active ingredient in Greece. Since then, clearly improved and constantly developing, our products are sold exclusively through pharmacies and organic stores in Greece, being also available in several countries abroad.
In 2006, in order to satisfy the specialized needs of the developing market of traditional products, MACROVITA created a new line of natural, olive oil-based beauty care products under the trademark MACROVITA-OLIVE·ELIA, strictly maintaining the well-known standards of high quality and reliability.
Our logo MACROVITA – OLIVE·ELIA
MACROVITA logo is composed by the classic Greek prefix “macro”, which demonstrates a long time period, and the well-known Latin word “vita”, which means life. The composition of these two is also complemented by the famous Asiatic symbol “yin-yang”, that expresses physical and mental balance.
MACROVITA is, therefore, the source of longevity. Follows the ancient beauty and health secrets of the Mediterranean and Far-East cultures, harmonized with modern scientific research and technology, as well as the contemporary ecological view towards the natural world.
OLIVE·ELIA is composed by two words: The first is the English word “olive” and the second one is the corresponding name of olive in Greek, “elia”.

Our products
Historical researchers claim that man’s first use of olive oil was, in all probability, cosmetic. Its astonishing dietary qualities were discovered much later. The knowledge of the exceptional cosmetic properties of olive oil was accumulated over the passage of centuries and in our age has been transformed into scientific fact.
Olive oil contains gallic acid tannins, iridoids, flavonoids, sugars and polyphenols with an intensive antioxidant, anti-aging, emollient, hydrating, firming and anti-inflammatory effect on the human skin. Thus, olive oil has proven to be an effective multipurpose agent for the creation of high-quality cosmetic products.
MACROVITA-OLIVE·ELIA product line combines extra virgin organic olive oil with many other organic substances and vitamins that are beneficial to the skin, offering the ideal natural facial, body and hair care.
