From our garden to our laboratory

 

  

Every Althaea cream is crafted in our highest quality standards. Staying true to the Althaea philosophy of Metron & Techne, we produce our own essential oils and extracts from selected herbs and plants. They have grown in the wild or organically cultivated in a highly biodiversified environment, that is the same we produce our olive oil.

Our botanical extracts are produced from herbs and plants that are processed within the same day they have been collected. It results to highly fresh active ingredients maintaining their true natural aromas. Our creams are the result of the special combination of the aforementioned high quality ingredients. Their synergetic action and their exceptional scent which is the result of locally extracted essential oils can be experienced immediately when you apply it on the skin. 

 

 

Every herb is carefully selected by hand at a specifically exact time. We only collect the sprouts of a plant, as they concentrate a high amount of active substances and intense aromas that aid the natural reconstruction of the skin. It is a diligent activity carried solely by us. It demands devotion and time, yet it is the only way to offer you a truly authentic product.
