Established in 1984, MACROVITA designs, formulates, develops, produces and trades the homonymous natural cosmetics based on sophisticated combinations of vegetable oils or plant extracts, bee origin substances and natural vitamins.

Our logo MACROVITA - OLIVE·ELIA
MACROVITA logo is composed by the classic Greek
prefix "macro", which means of great size, and the well-known Latin word
"vita", which means life. The composition of the two also includes the
famous Asiatic symbol “yin-yang” that expresses physical and mental
balance.
MACROVITA is, therefore, the source of longevity. We
follow the wise teaches of Greek-Roman and Far-East cultures, combined
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 Latin word “olive” and the second is the corresponding name of olive in Greek, “elia”.
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 tanning, irridoids, flavonoids, sugars and polyphenols that have an intensive antioxidant, anti-ageing, 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.
The range of natural cosmetics OLIVE·ELIA by MACROVITA combines extra virgin organic olive oil with many other organic substances and vitamins that are beneficial to the skin, to offer the ideal natural care for the face, body and hair.
