In 1972, the founders of APIVITA, Nikos and Niki Koutsiana, two young pharmacists, were inspired by the honeybee society, the unique biodiversity of Greek nature and Hippocrates’ holistic approach to health, beauty and well-being. Together they created their first natural cosmetics, using beekeeping products and herb extracts.

In 1979, they created APIVITA. The name is derived from the Latin words Apis (bee) and Vita (life), and means “life of the bee” – a name reflecting the philosophy of a company that, being a living organism like the bee, never stops creating value: Value for society, Value for the natural environment and Value for the economy.

Today, APIVITA is a company with a strong philosophy, values, social responsibility, heritage and an innovative outlook. It has evolved into a vast universe of people, products, aims, values, dreams and new endeavors, which ensure its ongoing development.

APIVITA has developed and established over 300 natural, effective and holistic products for the face, body and hair, formulated with beekeeping products of high nutritional value, extracts of Greek herbs and pure essential oils, as well as many green innovations and patents.

The passion and vision of APIVITA are now embraced by consumers in 23 countries: Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, UK, Ireland, Malta, Honk Kong, Montenegro, Russia, Taiwan, China, South Africa, Tunisia, Switzerland and Morocco.

INSPIRATION

The sources of inspiration that have sustained us ever since the establishment of APIVITA are the wondrous honeybee society, the unique features of Greek nature and Hippocrates, the father of medicine.

The beehive is a super-organism that constantly generates value. Through pollination, it ensures the sustainability of ecosystems, while providing us with precious beekeeping products.
Greek nature, with its rich biodiversity, unique indigenous plants and herbs of high biological value is an invaluable natural treasure.

Hippocrates, the first holistic physician, philosopher and teacher. He continues to instruct and inspire us to this day, through his faith in the power of nature, his dedication to fellow-humans and a 2,500-year-old heritage of knowledge supporting a holistic approach to health, well-being and beauty.

The name of APIVITA is derived from the Latin words APIS (Bee) and VITA (Life), and means “life of the bee”. Our logo is inspired by the “Bees of Malia”, a rare Minoan piece of jewelry from the Middle Bronze Age (c. 1,700 BC) representing fertility and harmony.
