You are in for a bee-autiful and very special treat! I am bursting with so much excitement to introduce you to one of my new favorite skin care companies called APIVITA! APIVITA products combine naturally derived active ingredients, extracts from plants of the Greek nature, beehive products of high nutritional value, and organic essential oils. APIVITA formulations include natural ingredients ranging from 85-100%, excluding the use of silicones, parabens, mineral oil, propylene glycol, polycyclic musks, nitromusks, phthalates, as well as other ingredients that have been associated with adverse health or environmental effects.
I don't know about you, but I am becoming increasingly more aware of what ingredients are in the products I use on my skin. I want to be an educated consumer. And, I want to make sure that the products I am using are safe and won't cause harm to my skin or body. I am gravitating towards products that use ingredients from nature to nourish and care for my skin. And, the APIVITA products are for women and men! They are ageless and everyone who uses them will benefit from them! So let me briefly introduce the Apivita brand to you because the products are amazing!
ABOUT APIVITA
{Adapted from the APIVITA Website}
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 the holistic approach of Hippocrates to health, beauty and well-being, and together they created their first natural cosmetics, using beekeeping products and herb extracts. A few years later, 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, for the natural environment and for the economy.
Inspired by the philosophy of Hippocrates, we address the individual concerns of each customer’s skin in a comprehensive way. Each APIVITA product offers multiple actions: hydration, protection from environmental aggressors, prevention and treatment of signs of aging or other problems, plus – thanks to pure, 100% certified organic essential oils – uplifting, invigoration, relief from tension and stress. All products are ideal partners that reinforce each other and act synergistically to offer maximum results.
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. APIVITA is a way of life: a life shared with employees in Greece and abroad, suppliers, beekeepers and cultivators, university teachers and researchers, pharmacists and customers throughout the world.
MY REVIEW
I received 2 sensational luxurious bath products from APIVITA'S Royal Honey Collection. As a blogger who has had the opportunity to use hundreds of bath and body products, it takes a lot to impress me and "wow" me. It is very typical for me to review fantastic products, and I enjoy introducing them to you. And every once in a while I stumble across a brand whose products are extraordinary, phenomenal, and stand out from the others that are out in the marketplace. That is precisely what I experienced with APIVITA; the products are beyond luxurious and sensational, they are unique and state of the art, they are remarkable!
My APIVITA products arrived in a gorgeous and very elegant gift box! What a thrilling and memorable first impression!
The lovely gift box was equally exciting once I opened it, and the printed message reads: "This is a Special Gift. Hidden inside you will find unique Greek Herbs, Innovations and Precious Bee Products. Discover them Now.
The enchanting gift box housed 2 bath and body products that have been skin altering for me. I am so enamored with both of these divine products. Here are the details about them:
Royal Honey Creamy Shower Gel with Essential Oils
Price: $24
Large 300 ml Size
DESCRIPTION:
Creamy, moisturizing shower gel with a rich formula inspired by the unique attributes of honey. It gently cleanses the skin by giving it a silky sensation and without dehydrating it, while at the same time it offers a feeling of relaxation and rejuvenation thanks to its special honey scent.

MY THOUGHTS:
In order to fully make use of this ultra luxurious creamy shower gel, all you need to do is dispense a small amount onto your wet skin to create a rich lather that will more than adequately cleanse, nourish and soften your skin so it feels silky clean! I cannot express enough how glorious it feels to clean your body with this product. It is such a profound pleasurable experience, and your entire bathroom will be filled with the intoxicating fragrance of honey! So sweet, so alluring, so relaxing!
The texture of the shower gel is very thick and emollient. It is not greasy though, but you do have to make sure to rinse it off completely. When you massage it over your skin it turns from a gel consistency to a lightweight foam which makes it easy to clean your skin with. You get the benefit of ideal clean skin and skin that feels like it has been treated and fed, and you do not experience any dryness nor irritations from any of the ingredients in this product. It is outstanding!
I cannot believe how many holistic ingredients from nature are in this product. And to know they come from the beautiful landscapes of Greece is equally attractive! The whole shower experience was enhanced for me knowing that I was covering myself with the ultimate in a shower gel, a product that is so pure and safe for my skin.
ROYAL HONEY BODY SCRUB WITH SEA SALTS

- Greek sea salt from Mesologgi and Dead Sea salts gently and naturally remove dead cells.

MY THOUGHTS:
This is another superior product from APIVITA! It is ideal for using once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and give your skin new life. Just apply a small amount on clean, slightly damp skin with gentle circular massage movements and rinse thoroughly. The texture is gritty as is as expected with a scrub, but it also feels soft and slightly oily, but not greasy. I knew right away this was a magnificent scrub!
Your skin will be so delighted when it gets a treatment with this blissful scrub. It is very gentle, yet it is powerful in turning back the clock and returning your skin to healthy, baby soft condition. I was shocked at how luminous and dewy my arms and legs looked after my first time using this scrub! My skin literally glowed and I did not need to follow up with moisturizer, that is how hydrated it was left to be.
I also want to comment on the glorious aroma of this scrub. It really does uplift the spirits and give you a feeling of energy and invigoration. I have been looking forward to follow up treatments each week so I can savor those "alone me moments" as I give my skin a rebirth. A little bit of the product works wonders and even those with sensitive skin won't have any issues using this. My skin tends to get irritated easily, and the ingredients in this product are so gentle and natural, your skin will fall in love with them all!
The holidays are around the corner. It is time to start discovering exciting gifts to get for your loved ones. I think a gift box of skin care products from APIVITA is sure to please even the hardest of people to purchase gifts for! They will be so happy to be given the gift of bee-autiful skin!
