An increasing amount of people is nowadays aware of the long-term effects of many bath and beauty ingredients. So, there is no wonder why there is a strong demand for natural, organic and safer solutions.

Just as we prefer to eat pure, natural and organic food so should we use the purest and most natural products to treat our skin (although the term ‘natural’ is not always an indication of safety).

With this thought in mind, a young couple from Greece searched for a solution to treat their children’s everyday skin issues. Tilia Beeswax ointment is the result of this research. It is a 100% natural product that combines skin irritations’ treatment with cosmetic use, produced in a certified Laboratory and approved by the National Organization for Medicines (EOF), according to the EU regulations.

 It has a wide variety of uses: skin rashes, diaper rash, dehydration, burns, chapped or rough skin.

The initial idea of the product is not new. The combination of bio extra virgin olive oil and pure beeswax has been used through centuries for both cosmetic and therapeutic care of face and body.

Beeswax is a non toxic, complex, mixture of organic elements, mainly esters, fatty oxids and hydrocarbons. It’s also rich in proteins, vitamin A and minerals with antiphlogistic, calmative, anti-inflammatory, cicatrizant, demulcent, moisturizing properties. It doesn’t block skin’s pores.

Olive oil -especially bio extra virgin cold pressed olive oil-differs from any other kind of oil because of the high content of mono-unsaturated fatty acids and secondly because of the beneficial characteristics of the rest of the ingredients,  that either they don’t appear at all or they appear in smaller amounts in other kinds of oils. Olive oil has nourishing, moisturizing, demulcent, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cicatrizant properties.

In order to create an ointment with excellent quality and effectiveness, raw material selection is very important. In Tilia Beeswax Ointment these raw materials are being selected by one provider only. Beeswax has undergone no chemical process neither has it been mixed with other artificial ingredients. Also through a mild process of preparation, the raw materials of Tilia Beeswax Ointment maintain the highest levels of their beneficial attributes.

"This is the ultimate, ultimate list of my Favorite Things," says Oprah. Why? Because no matter who's on your holiday list, you'll find everything from the whimsical stocking stuffer to the over-the-top indulgence.
"Derived from the sap of Grecian fir trees, this rare, raw organic honey is beyond luscious. The glamorous packaging will make it a much-appreciated holiday hostess gift."—Oprah

Greek Fir honey is one of the rarest in the world.

Our award-winning Eulogia Organic Greek Fir honey is harvested in the Mainalo mountain region of Greece. Unlike traditional honey which is created when bees collect nectar from flowers, our fir honey is created from the honeydew left behind by aphids that extract and feed on the sap of the fir tree. Much care is needed not only to harvest the honey, but for the bees themselves in order to maintain a balance within this unique ecosystem found nowhere else.

This rare, raw honey is a product of organic farming and the only honey from Greece with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) distinction from the European Union for its authenticity and uniqueness.

Its exclusivity, thick caramel-like texture and pearlescent luster make this a world-class honey bursting with extraordinary flavor and aroma, unlike any other honey.

We are honored and very proud to announce that our limited edition Organic Greek Fir Honey was selected by the Specialty Food Association as a sofi™ Award silver finalist! Our Organic Greek Fir honey was nominated for the category of “Outstanding Honey, Jam, Preserve or Nut Butter” and is in the running to possibly capture a Gold award and best in category this July.

Every year the Specialty Food association holds it’s annual red carpet event celebrating the “Best of the best” in 35 different food categories such as Condiments, Cookies, Appetizer, Cheese, Meat, Snacks and Packaging to mention just a few. The sofi™ Award is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a food producer within the specialty food industry; simply being recognized and nominated within the respective honey category was fantastic news for us especially on the heels of also recently winning a gold medal at the BiolMiel International Organic Honey Competition.

We’re looking forward to over 200 food experts from various backgrounds and industries to sample and vote on our Organic Fir Honey when the show and award ceremony is in New York City from June 30 to July 2, 2013.
